Moates/ Russell Wedding 06.21.08

The Moates/Russell wedding was on June 21, 2008. Megan and Rusty were married in front of the giant hearth at the Rock City Pavilion in front of family and friends. The ceremony and reception were both in the Pavilion, and the staff of the Grandview catered the event.


















The bride carried a beautiful bouquet of white lilies, white roses, and chocolate cosmos. Her chocolate cosmos complimented the groom's chocolate brown tux.










Megan's nine bridesmaids and one junior bridesmaid wore chocolate brown gowns with teal sashes and carried bouquets of fresh hydrangea. The bride gave each of her bridesmaids pearls and brown flip flops to wear to the wedding. To play up the colors of the day and the feelings of fun, the favors were rock candy in teal (cotton candy) and chocolate brown (root beer). Each rock candy was tied with a personalized bow with the bride and groom's name and the wedding date.












The bride's cake was a chocolate cake with white icing from Jackson's Bakery, and the groom's cake was a hunting scene. Their mongram was on the front of the cake, adding a personal touch.











The entire bridal party stayed at the Read House the night before and the night of the wedding. It was a fun way to make sure everyone was on the same page, as well as a way to create a wedding weekend that all those involved will never forget.














The couple took pictures on the grounds of Rock City, which afforded them gorgeous views of the Tennessee Valley. The amazing photography is by Chad Trammell.




What a perfect day!
