A Special Day for Mr. and Mrs. Lane
Meredith and Jerod’s July wedding was a beautiful, warm summer day. It was the kind of day you imagine for a classic, traditional wedding — and that’s exactly what these two lovebirds had in store.
Their wedding was an elegant affair with a cool color palette of seafoam green and white. The Plaza Toscano was covered in greenery and white florals, which made the bridesmaids’ seafoam gowns and Jerod and his groomsmen’s black tuxes stand out at the altar. But of course, no one stood out from the crowd like Meredith, who was a vision in her v-neck shift dress with a lace bodice, satin skirt, and long, flowing train.
Meredith walked down the aisle to the sound of a string quartet, and it was clear from the moment her eyes met Jerod’s that this was a day they’d been waiting for. Meredith’s father officiated the wedding, reading from the Bible and inviting the couple to light a unity candle to signify their new family together. The couple exchanged vows and rings, beaming all the while until finally, it was time to kiss the bride and welcome Mr. and Mrs. Lane to the world!
After the ceremony, the string quartet entertained guests through cocktail hour. Then, it was time to head inside to the reception hall, which was decorated with tall arrangements of white flowers. Meredith and Jerod shared a dance to Tyler Rich’s “Real Love,” before Meredith and her father danced to “I Loved Her First” by Heartland, and Jerod and his mother danced to “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts.
Guests enjoyed a delicious reception meal of: Caprese salad; mashed potatoes; green beans; Caprese chicken with artichokes, mozzarella, tomatoes, and a balsamic glaze; and flat iron steak with chimichurri sauce. Soon, guests were burning off their dinner on the dance floor — but between the red velvet cake and the late-night snacks of a pretzel bar and crumble cookies, everyone left with a full belly!
The evening finally ended with a sparkler exit, set to Donna Lewis’ “I Love You Always Forever.” It was the perfect ending to this sweet celebration, and we know this was a day that will always put a big smile on Meredith and Jerod’s faces.
