October Brides & Weddings: Kayla & James, Christina & Jarrod, Sami, Page, Suzy and Katey
ALMOST HALLOWEEN. How did we get here!?!?!?!?!? I cannot WAIT to dress up like “It’s-aaaa meeee, Mario” while my 5 year old son will be Toad, his request, and my 3 year old daughter will be Princess Peach, not her request. I went all out this Halloween with decorating for the occasion with large wood cut-out Mario characters decorating our yard to really get in the magic of Halloween… Although, I did realize mid-working on decorations that most normal people decorate their yards in a spooky fashion and then there’s my yard which is Mario Kart meets Mario Party… Oh well, they’ll love it.
So anyway, here we go!!!! Celebrating and highlighting some stunning October weddings!!!!! You ready to be inspired!?!?!? Let’s go…
KAYLA & JAMES - FLORALS BY I&B
Kayla & James’ beautiful wedding at The Mackey House in Savannah, Georgia was the perfect blend of classic Southern elegance and a laid-back, joyful celebration. Surrounded by towering trees and Spanish moss, their outdoor ceremony embraced everything we love about a romantic Savannah wedding, followed by a bright, airy reception filled with thoughtful details and plenty of dancing. The Mackey House is such a gorgeous Savannah wedding venue for couples dreaming of an outdoor garden wedding with quintessential Lowcountry charm. And one of our absolute favorite details? Kayla & James skipped the traditional wedding cake cutting and opted for a pizza cutting instead—which honestly might be our new favorite wedding tradition. 🍕 From their romantic ceremony to the packed dance floor, their day was full of personality, beautiful Savannah scenery, and so much fun.
THE FLOWERS
For their Savannah wedding flowers, we designed a soft, garden-inspired floral palette filled with shades of peach, creamy neutrals, soft blue accents, and lush organic greenery. Kayla’s bridal bouquet featured romantic garden-style blooms with peach and blush roses, delicate blue flowers, ivory blooms, and flowing greenery for an effortlessly elegant look. The ceremony florals transformed The Mackey House gazebo with an asymmetrical statement installation overflowing with peach blooms and loose, organic greenery that felt as though it naturally belonged in the surrounding garden. We carried the same palette into the reception with romantic peach and neutral wedding centerpieces, bud vases, greenery, and candlelight. The result was a fresh, colorful take on a classic Southern wedding—perfect inspiration for couples searching for a Savannah wedding florist, Mackey House wedding flowers, peach wedding inspiration, garden wedding florals, or an elegant Georgia outdoor wedding.
CHRISTINA & JARROD - FLORALS BY I&B
Christina and Jarrod’s Savannah wedding was the perfect blend of classic Southern romance and playful color. After portraits beneath the iconic oak trees of Forsyth Park, the celebration continued at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa, where an outdoor ceremony overlooked the lush golf course. Soft blue bridesmaid dresses paired beautifully with the floral palette of peach, coral, blush, ivory, and blue, while Christina’s classic all-white bridal bouquet gave her look an elegant contrast. From the Savannah trolley to portraits beneath the Spanish moss, every detail felt unmistakably Savannah.
THE FLOWERS
For the floral design, we carried the colorful palette throughout the ceremony and reception with garden-inspired arrangements filled with hydrangeas, roses, dahlias, delphinium, stock, astilbe, and airy greenery. Statement urn arrangements framed the couple during their outdoor ceremony before being repurposed around the sweetheart table, while a lush floral meadow added another colorful focal point. Smaller bud vase arrangements brought the same peach, blue, coral, and ivory tones to the guest tables for a light, romantic feel. The result was a timeless Southern wedding with just enough color to feel fresh, joyful, and completely at home in Savannah.
SAMI IN MAGGIE SOTTERO
This Red Gate Farms wedding was the perfect mix of romantic Southern charm, colorful details and pure fun. Set beneath the moss-draped trees and surrounded by the natural beauty of Savannah, Georgia, the couple embraced a warm, vibrant wedding palette with pops of pink, orange, burgundy and peach. The groom’s burgundy suit was such a fun complement to the bride’s colorful bouquet, and can we talk about the MINI PONY?! From portraits by the water to celebratory drinks alongside their flower-adorned four-legged guest, their day felt relaxed, personal and completely them. For couples searching for Red Gate Farms wedding inspiration, colorful Savannah weddings, rustic Georgia wedding venues or Southern outdoor wedding ideas, this celebration has so many sweet details to save.
THE DRESS
And of course, we have to talk about the DRESS! Our Ivory & Beau bride wore Lennon by Maggie Sottero, a romantic fitted lace wedding dress that looked absolutely incredible on her. Lennon features intricate floral lace, subtle sparkle, a figure-hugging silhouette and delicate off-the-shoulder lace straps that create the prettiest neckline. We love how the fitted shape highlights her curves before flowing into a soft, dramatic train, while all of that dimensional lace photographs beautifully from every angle. Paired with her pearl-detailed veil, the gown felt romantic and feminine while still fitting perfectly into the relaxed Southern setting. If you’re searching for a Maggie Sottero wedding dress, fitted lace wedding gown, curvy bridal gown or Savannah bridal boutique, Lennon is the kind of dress that shows exactly why we love Maggie Sottero at Ivory & Beau.
PAGE IN MAGGIE SOTTERO
Page’s romantic Savannah wedding was filled with all the things we love about a classic Southern celebration—historic architecture, sprawling live oaks dripping in Spanish moss, lush green landscapes, and so many genuinely joyful moments. From sweet photos with the flower girls to portraits throughout Savannah and a hilarious first-look prank involving a very committed stand-in bride 😂, the entire day felt personal, playful, and full of love. The bride’s vibrant bouquet added the perfect pop of coral, pink, peach, and greenery against the timeless Southern setting, creating gorgeous inspiration for couples planning a Savannah wedding, Georgia destination wedding, Southern wedding, or romantic outdoor celebration.
THE DRESS
For her wedding day, the bride wore Skylar by Maggie Sottero, a dreamy lace wedding dress that was made for a romantic Savannah setting. The gown features a strapless sweetheart bodice, delicate floral lace detailing, and a soft, full A-line silhouette that created beautiful movement in every photo. Paired with a long lace-trimmed veil, Skylar looked especially breathtaking beneath Savannah’s Spanish moss and against the city's historic architecture. For brides searching for a Maggie Sottero wedding dress, lace A-line wedding gown, romantic bridal gown, or timeless Southern wedding dress, this look is the perfect example of classic bridal style with just enough drama.
SUZY IN MAGGIE SOTTERO
A little romance, a little drama, and a whole lot of personality! Suzy’s stunning wedding at Scarritt Bennett Center in Nashville, Tennessee, was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and playful, personal touches. With its breathtaking Gothic architecture, soaring cathedral windows, and historic stone walls, the venue created a dreamy backdrop for the couple's big day. The classic black-and-white wedding party complemented the romantic setting, while fun details like lawn games, a champagne tower, and an adorable cake-cutting moment brought plenty of personality to the celebration. From dramatic cathedral portraits to laughter-filled moments outdoors, this Nashville wedding was proof that you can have a timeless, elegant wedding without sacrificing a little fun!
Can we take a moment for this DRESS?! Our gorgeous Ivory & Beau bride, Suzy, absolutely stunned in Derrick by Maggie Sottero, a romantic ball gown that perfectly balanced classic bridal elegance with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Featuring a structured corset-inspired bodice, plunging neckline, dreamy off-the-shoulder sleeves, and a voluminous skirt with a daring slit, this wedding dress was made for a statement moment. The luxurious fabric photographed beautifully against the historic architecture of Scarritt Bennett Center, creating the most breathtaking bridal portraits. We especially love how the gown's romantic silhouette complemented the bride's tattoos, giving her look a beautiful contrast of softness and edge. Found at Ivory & Beau Bridal Boutique in Savannah, Georgia, this Maggie Sottero wedding dress was the perfect choice for a bride who wanted to feel timeless, confident, and completely herself on her wedding day.

Set against the charming backdrop of historic downtown Savannah, Katey’s \wedding day was a beautiful celebration of love, Southern charm, and timeless elegance. Their ceremony took place at Emmet Park in Savannah, Georgia, a picturesque setting known for its towering oak trees, lush greenery, and historic surroundings. With Savannah’s romantic atmosphere setting the scene, the couple exchanged vows before continuing their celebration at the Knights of Columbus. The reception brought family and friends together for an unforgettable evening of laughter, dancing, and celebrating the newlyweds. From the historic Savannah scenery to the thoughtfully chosen wedding details, every part of their day reflected a joyful and personal celebration.
