Once the couple was dressed they met for their first look in the courtyard. Matt waited patiently while Bess made her way down to meet him. After a beautiful greeting, the two enjoyed some couple shots before the wedding party came to join them.
The bridesmaids were dress in a short satin teal dress with a bateau neckline to match Bess’. The girl’s boutiques were wrapped in a teal ribbon that matches their dresses as well. The men chose to match their black suits with fun black and white socks and matching bowties, except for Matt, who wore a white bowtie.
Guests gathered around the lake at 5:30pm to watch the ceremony between Bess and Matt. The aisle was lined with large arrangements of flowers that matched the bridesmaids boutiques.
The reception was held just across the pool from the ceremony and was not short of flowers. Each table had a different arrangement of white, pink, purple, and green flowers that all coordinated with the bridesmaids dresses and boutiques.
