With Ellen Thomas Event Design bringing it all together, the day was classic, personal, and full of Southern charm.
The Couple
For Nettie and Andrew’s Southern wedding day, classic style ran through everything, from the decor down to their outfits. Nettie Taylor wore a structured, ballgown-silhouette dress with a clean neckline and full skirt, the kind of timeless pick that’ll look just as good in twenty years as it does today, while Andrew matched her energy in a sharp black tux.
The Newlyweds
The happy couple exchanged vows at First Presbyterian Church of Yazoo City before hopping on a trolley with their loved ones for the ride back to Nettie Taylor’s childhood home. It was there that they continued the celebration and danced the night away into their next chapter of life together.
The Details
The reception took place at Nettie Taylor’s childhood home with design details that nodded to the house and its history. The soft palette of ivory, garden green, and muted peach paired with lush white hydrangeas, roses, orchids, and trailing greenery. Burled wood textures, candlelight, and a mix of elevated and floral arrangements brought warmth to the tables, while the ceremony blooms complemented the home’s architecture and landscape. With its subtle Father of the Bride influence, the setting captured the timeless charm of a classic Garden wedding while still feeling personal to the couple.
The Celebration
The evening continued with a menu that paid homage to the Mississippi Delta, giving guests a taste of the couple’s roots through thoughtfully curated Southern fare. Then came one of the sweetest details of the day: Nettie Taylor’s mother made the wedding cake herself. The breathtaking multi-tiered cake was finished with intricate floral piping, adding a personal family touch to the celebration. It was the perfect ending to a day centered around family, tradition, and home.
