this Southern Coastal Wedding At Sea Palms Brought Golf-inspired Glamour To St. Simons Island

madelyn + Will | October 5, 2024 | St. Simons Presbyterian Church & Sea Palms Golf Resort

some Love Stories Are Simply Meant To Be — And For Madelyn And Will, That Journey Began On The High School Golf Team. From Cheerleading On The Sidelines Of Will’s Football Games To Saying “i Do” On The Coast Of Georgia, Their Story Has Been Rooted In Tradition, Style, And A Shared Love Of The Game.

A British-inspired Proposal Fit For Royalty

while In London For Will’s Work With The British Open Golf Tournament, Madelyn Had No Idea A Proposal Was In The Plans. The Morning Began With A Visit To Floris London, Where She Selected Her Wedding Day Perfume — The Same Perfumery Used By The Royal Family.

afternoon Tea At Fortnum & Mason Followed, And Later That Evening, While Walking To A Formal Dinner, Will Proposed In Front Of The Palace Of Westminster And Big Ben. It Was Timeless, Thoughtful, And Wildly Romantic.

the Wedding Vision: Coastal Tradition Meets Personal Branding

as The Founder Of Madelyn Tenney Events, Madelyn Brought Her Own Pr-driven Design Philosophy To Life — Blending Southern Elegance With Coastal Textures And Clean, Classic Branding. “everything About The Day Needed To Feel Cohesive And Timeless,” She Shared. “we Leaned Into Tradition While Still Letting Our Personality Shine.” The Ceremony Took Place At St. Simons Presbyterian Church, Followed By A Cocktail Hour And Reception Under A Clear-top Tent At Sea Palms Golf Resort — A Nod To The Couple’s Golf Beginnings.

interactive Elegance: Welcome To Club Hooper

during Cocktail Hour, Guests Entered Club Hooper — A Custom Experience Designed To Mirror A High-end Golf Pro Shop. Madelyn’s Planning Team, Dressed As Caddies, Handed Out Personalized Golf Balls And Hats, While Guests Tried Their Hand At Putting On The Green. Custom Flags And A Branded Crest Made The Experience Unforgettable.

the Style: A Unique Twist On Southern Formal

madelyn’s Dress Featured A Modern Neckline — The Only Area Where She Chose To Step Away From Tradition. “i’ve Seen So Many Sweetheart And Strapless Gowns,” She Noted. “i Wanted Something Different — Something That Felt Like Me.” The Groom And Groomsmen Wore Sharp Black Tuxedos And Bowties, Keeping The Style Refined And Formal. The Floral Palette Featured Lush Hydrangeas And Marsh-inspired Hues Of Blue And Green — A Soft Coastal Blend That Tied The Georgia Setting Into Every Element Of The Design.

sentimental Ceremony Moments

one Of The Most Unforgettable Moments Of The Day Was Hearing Madelyn’s Grandfather’s Voice Over The Church Speakers — A Recorded Prayer He Shared When He Couldn’t Attend In Person. With Hurricane Helene Nearly Canceling The Wedding Three Times In The Days Prior, The Hymn “great Is Thy Faithfulness” Brought An Emotional Wave Of Gratitude As It Echoed Through The Sanctuary.

a Clear-top Celebration Beneath The Stars

the Reception Unfolded Under A Clear-top Tent With Views Of The Marsh And Open Skies. Guests Danced The Night Away Under Twinkling Lights, Surrounded By Soft Southern Breezes And Meaningful Touches — Including A Custom Toile Pattern Featuring Elements Of Madelyn And Will’s Story, From Their London Proposal To Their High School Memories. And Just When Everyone Thought The Night Couldn’t Get Sweeter, Madelyn’s Younger Brother Performed “i Cross My Heart” By George Strait — A Heartfelt Moment That Left Not A Single Dry Eye.

timeless Advice From A Bride Who Knows

“hire A Planner And Trust Your Vendors,” Madelyn Shared. “as A Planner Myself, I Know How Much Heart And Experience These Professionals Bring. Let Them Guide You — And Enjoy The Beauty Of Your Day.”

When Planning Their Silo Wedding, Paige + Bruce Knew That They Wanted Everyone To Have A Good Time. "this Is Why We Incorporated So Many Different Aspects," Paige Says. "we Had Yard Games Like Jenga And Cornhole, The Bounce House Was A Hit For Kids And Adults, There Was A Vw Photo Booth Bus, And We Had An Eight-foot Charcuterie Board Followed By Hand-carved Prime Rib, Then Tarts And Wedding Cake After. There Was A Food Truck With Late-night Munchies To End The Night."

We Loved The Details That They Included In Their Big Day, Like A Bounce House For The Reception And Planting A Houseplant Together During The Ceremony For Them To Enjoy For Years To Come. We Recently Interviewed Ashley About Her Big Day Here!

For This Styled Shoot We Focused On Creating A Striking Contrast Between The Couple's Daring Style Mixed With The Dramatic Landscape Of The Colorado Paint Mines. We Wanted To Stray Away From The Typical All White Wedding Vibe And Create Something Bold And Moody That Breaks Traditions. We Chose The Paint Mines In Colorado For It’s Breathtaking And Truly Distinctive Look. The Models Dated Years Ago And They Both Eagerly Agreed To The Shoot; It Was Wonderful To See Their Passion Begin To Reignite As We Asked Them To Get More Intimate With Each Other. As The Planners, Our Favorite Memory Of The Day Was When We Asked Them If They Were Okay With Kissing Each Other And Brandon Blurting Out “i Would Love To!”. These Truly Were Two Of The Sweetest Humans We Have Ever Met And We Were Honored To Spend The Day Documenting Something So Beautiful And Special With Them. We Hope To Show Future Brides And Grooms That They Can Choose Their Own Aesthetics For Their Day, And Make Their Wedding Truly Their Style In Hopes Of Yielding Perfect Memories That Will Live Forever In The Photos.
