Mary Marshall’s bridal luncheon at the Hermitage Hotel felt personal in the best way—thoughtful, layered, and deeply tied to family. Guests were welcomed with a mimosa bar and a room that immediately drew you in with color and texture. The florals were the centerpiece in more ways than one—arranged in a collection of blue and white vases gathered from a family collection. The arrangements leaned soft but vibrant, with warm yellows, blush tones, and deeper accents that added just enough contrast without overwhelming the setting. Details carried through everywhere you looked, echoed on welcome gifts to delicately packaged cookies that mirrored the same palette and patterns. Florals: Bloom + Bounty
Kate’s bridal luncheon at the Hermitage Hotel felt classic and celebratory, with thoughtful details woven throughout. Live illustrator Laurel Ellsworth Designs added something unexpected, creating small portraits of guests throughout the luncheon. At the center of the celebration was a traditional bridal cake from Brentwood favorite Puffy Muffin, where ribbons were tucked beneath and each guest pulled a charm—a longstanding Southern tradition called a cake pull, adding a layer of anticipation and a bit of fun to the afternoon. Florals: LMA Designs
