Millicent and Stephen's Elegant Ballroom Wedding at Birmingham Alabama's Hyatt Wynfrey Hotel

When bride Millicent first met with me, she described a fabulous wedding in the newly refurbished grand ballroom at the Hyatt Wynfrey Hotel in Birmingham Alabama.  The idea of her ceremony and reception sharing the same space was extremely appealing to her and this would also maximize money spent on her decor.    Her photographer Jerrod Brown is among a top team of wedding professionals to capture the days' events.  Thank you Jerrod for all of these gorgeous images!

The day started with all of Millicent's girls surrounding her in the Presidential Suite at The Wynfrey Hotel.  Each girl was given a special gift of floral printed robes to wear while getting ready and champagne flowed throughout the afternoon!










Ready to get into her gown and begin the day starting with a first look with her groom Stephen!  This sweet little flower girl looks on and is probably dreaming of her own wedding day far off into the future!!

Simply gorgeous!

Well worth the wait!!

Beautiful bridesmaids surround our bride Millicent on the happiest day




The coolest guys.....



The ballroom is set with elegant linen chair covers of Ivory tied with a champagne satin sash




The aisle to the alter area lined with towers of white florals surrounded by a variety of candles and succulents 



Alter area is draped with white sheer draping, beautifully lit with uplights and candlelights...  The fabulous lighting and draping is thanks to Andy Tolar with Design Productions LLC








                             The pre-function area at the The Hyatt Wynfrey Hotel was designed to be a                           comfortable lounge for the guests.  Lighting design by Design Productions LLC and the lounge furniture and decor all furnished by floral designer Mandy Majerik of Hot House Design   Studio




                                                        I love the details from this wedding



Groom Stephen sees his bride making her appearance and is completely smitten 



                                   Proud Daddy walking his daughter down the aisle























An absolutely gorgeous wedding cake with elegance and a little bit of bling!





                                With the ceremony complete and guests out in the pre-function area enjoying cocktails and hor'deorves, the staff and vendors were busy moving chairs and air walls and tables to transform this entire ballroom from ceremony/worship space to an elegant and enchanting reception.  Mandy Majerik and her team with Hot House Design Studio began moving our tall arrangements and candles first used as pew markers that framed our aisle to elegant table centerpieces.  This is an excellent use of all the floral design used throughout the entire event.



                        What was once our alter area for the ceremony now becomes a gorgeous frame around                                                                 the brides beautiful cake




                                                            Sweet treats for all the guests
















                                                     A first dance for our happy couple










Daddy's little girl

                             Sparklers and a festive send off for this happy bride and groom!




Thank you so much to The Hyatt- Wynfrey Hotel in Birmingham Alabama for hosting this gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception, Mandy Majerik and all the staff from Hot House Design Studio, Andy Tolar and his staff with Design Productions LLC, Geoff Carlisle with Jamm Entertainment for providing wonderful music and endless entertainment for all the guests, Sweet Spot Confections for this gorgeous wedding cake, Jerrod Brown of Jerrod Brown Studios for all of these absolutely stunning images and John and Angela Deaver of Main Street Productions for a fabulous film including a "same day edit" where the shot footage throughout the entire day, edited and featured the finished product to guests during the reception!   In addition to the "same day edit", Main Street provided a Live Stream of the entire ceremony over the internet so guests not able to attend could see the ceremony live and on air...  A wonderful compliment to this extraordinary day!  Thank you to this fabulous team of wedding professionals!!  


Blessings!
