Newlyweds and Nesting: Elizabeth Anne Designs Living: A Food, Lifestyle, and Craft Blog Kate and Sam’s Alabama wedding is a perfect combination of classic features and personalized elements. Held at Auburn’s Moore’s Mill Club, the couple worked with Invision Events to created a casual atmosphere for their guests with winter florals, muted tones, and elegant details. Kate is an utterly gorgeous bride—her Tara Keely gown and classic veil are picture-perfect alongside the soft cream and cornflower blue Jenny Yoo Annabelle dresses selected for her maids. From the programs (designed by Kate) to the music (the couple selected Ho Hey by The Lumineers for their recessional), each moment of the day was thoughtfully infused with personality and care. The warm and cozy clubhouse was kept simple and elegant in ivory and gold, with winter florals by Opelika Floral. We adore each beautiful image from Tiffany Hughes Photography!
