Given in marriage by her parents, the bride wore a Justin Alexander wedding gown that had ivory-colored Chantilly lace and a light champagne gold satin underlining. The fabric was covered in pearl and rhinestone detail such as pearl and rhinestone beaded spaghetti straps, geometric hand-beaded accents on the skirt, with deep “V” front and back necklines, a lower open back with satin-covered buttons at the back closure, and a formal-length scalloped eyelash hem that fell into a chapel-length train which made this straight signature gown both sleek and lavish. The sheer champagne, finger-tip, single-tiered veil cascaded from the brides upswept hairstyle and was accompanied with a gold headband adorned with pearls, rhinestones, and crystals. The veil was finished with an edging of hand-sewn marquis stones and pearls. To finish this elegant and classy look the bride wore nude-colored, satin pumps that boasted rhinestone detail on the back and wrapping around the heels.

The bride’s hand-held bouquet was adorned with white Dutch Coco hydrangeas and Vendella ivory roses. It was accented with seeded eucalyptus, salal leaves, and flowing plumose pedicel greenery, and was punctuated with crystal rhinestones, ivory pearls, and golden tallow berries. The stems were wrapped in elegant shimmering satin ribbon, and rhinestone pins were added to give that little bit of sparkle.

For the bride’s “something old,” a 1993 penny was placed in one of her shoes by her father, representing the year she was born. The bride’s entire ensemble, including the jewelry of pearls and rhinestones, was her “something new.” In addition, a pair of diamond stud earrings belonging to her mother was worn for the “something borrowed.” Finally, turquoise blue crystals spelled out the words “I DO“ on the bottom of her shoes for her “something blue.”

Ka-Ka chose Alexus Gabrielle Cagle and Courtney Attaway Henderson as her matrons of honor and Miss Cheyenne Self as her maid of honor. The bridal attendants were Abby Myrex, Katy Jones Crider, Clancie Grae Quattlebaum, Courtney Walker, Kaytlyn Mathis Shadix, Loren Bookout and Riley Brooke Harris. Each wore a Kanali K gold-sequined gown which was full-length, sleeveless, and featured thick straps and a “V” shaped neckline and back. They wore gold rhinestone earrings, a gift from the bride that dangled nicely with their classy upswept hairstyle. Each attendant carried bouquets fashioned after the bride’s bouquet. The flowers were wrapped in ribbon of gold sequins and secured with rhinestone pins.

The flower girls chosen were Frankie Beth Lamar, Hagen Ellis, Tillman Rose Widner and Laney Widner. They wore full-length, sleeveless dresses in gold sequins, with an overlay ivory tulle skirt, tied with a big tulle bow in the back. Each girl wore a gold sequin bow in their hair and ivory Mary Jane styled shoes. The outfits were completed with ivory colored satin flower girl baskets which were finished with a gold sequin bow and accented with pearls and rhinestones.

Jordan chose Bryant Quattlebaum as his best man. Groomsmen were Levi Farley, Kiah Crider, Kramer Crider, Colton Henderson, Nathan Marchman, Logan Shadix, Jordan Lee and Will Bates. Along with the groom, they wore black tuxes from the Ike Evening Collection by Ike Behar. Each wore an ivory rosebud on their lapel, which matched the ivory shirts. The ring bearers chosen were Levi Widner and Benton Holden. Matching tuxes were picked for the ring bearers and an ivory ring bearer pillow along with a sign which read, “Bride>Roll Tide” was carried to the altar with much personality!

Wedding directors were Janet Fortner and Jacy Foust. Attendants of the bridal registry, programs, and greeters were Brooke Crider, Camryn Crider, Sydney Crider, Hannah Lee and Lexi Farley. Prenuptial and ceremonial music was provided by Regan Garmon (vocalist) and Chandler Nunn (pianist and vocalist). Photography was provided by Janet Nunnally Wilson and videography was provided by Jenn Horton with Press Play Media Group.

The reception was held in the Brown Stone on the grounds of Stone Bridge Farms. It was decorated with numerous, sparkling lights throughout, and dining tables were covered in fine black and ivory linens, with gold chargers and serving utensils. Tables were decorated with a variety of centerpieces such as vases full of flowers, greenery, and/or large candelabras, and lanterns. All serving tables had a touch of sparkle to go with the New Years’ Eve theme. Scott Adams with Universal Sound provided the music and announcement of the wedding party’s grand entrance. The bride also surprised her groom with an unforgettable song she chose and sang to him with her bridesmaids accompanying her. The bride’s cake was created by Sherry Cunningham of Winfield, and Mandy Quattlebaum of Sunflour Bakery crafted the groom’s cake. Guests were treated with a slideshow of the bride and groom and their families and friends, a New Years’ Eve photo booth, hot chocolate bar, a “wishes and money tree” for the newlywed couple, and a fireworks show. The bride and groom were sent off with sparklers of love! After their wedding trip to Riviera Maya in Mexico, the couple now resides together in Bremen.
