Pews were marked with hanging candle lanterns trimmed in royal blue and white tulle. The aisle was covered with a hand-painted white runner featuring the couple’s initials. Elegant arrangements of areca palms and woodland ferns flanked the altar.

Traditional Scottish wedding songs were performed by bagpiper John Anderson, who was dressed in a traditional kilt.

Given in marriage by her brother and stepfather, the bride chose a classic, white strapless gown with an empire waist banded in white satin with a silk organza overlay. The skirt was adorned with rows of white ribbon, as was the back of the gown.

Her hair, styled in soft curls, was held by a silver tiara covered in pearls in Swarovski crystals.

She wore a diamond necklace, a gift from the groom.

The bride carried a handtied bouquet featuring white sweetheart roses, white calla lilies and blue hyacinth gathered in a white-satin bow. Tucked into the bouquet was her late maternal grandfather’s wedding ring.

Each attendant carried a gathered bouquet of white calla lilies and delphinium tied with white-satin ribbon.

The bride’s mother chose a dark-teal, tea-length dress of hammered satin overlapped to form shutter pleats. A V-neck and capped sleeves completed her dress.

The groom’s mother wore a two-piece suit of plum-colored silk with sheer overlays. Soft ruffles adorned the hem of the top.

Both mothers carried nosegays of white roses.

A reception followed the ceremony at The Brick House.

Massive ferns decorated with white roses and calla lilies and sheer, royal-blue bows adorned the entrance. The doors featured the couple’s silver-leafed initials descending from sheer ribbons.

Tables, skirted in white and covered with royal-blue linen cloths, were centered with lighted arrangements of white cathedral lilies.

The three-tiered buttercream wedding cake was striped with royal-blue fondant ribbons and marked with the couple’s initial. A miniature version of the bride’s bouquet topped the confection, which was presented on a tulle-trimmed table adorned with the bridal party bouquets and underlit with miniature lights.

Guests were entertained with music by Organic Logic.

The couple departed the reception under an arch of sparklers.

Following a wedding trip to Florida, they will make their home in Tuscaloosa.
