Ideas To Inspire Your Dream Celebration
Jeff Gagnon
"italiano Romantico" Is A Wedding Editorial Envisioned As A Meeting Point Between Cultures—a Tribute To Intentional Elegance And The Quiet Poetry Of Time Well Spent. Set In Montreal Within A Contemporary, Light-filled Space, This Project Draws Deep Inspiration From The Essence Of Italian Gatherings: Abundant, Textured, And Profoundly Human.
at The Heart Of This Story Are Mai And Andy  ( @maiandandy ), A Couple Whose Radiant Energy, Tenderness, And Connection Set The Tone For The Entire Shoot. Their Playful Affection And Authentic Love Embodied The Spirit We Aimed To Capture, Where Joy Feels Effortless And The Shared Moments Are Both Intimate And Meaningful. Through Their Laughter And Gentle Embraces, Mai And Andy Brought Our Vision To Life, Reminding Us That True Beauty Lies In Vulnerability And Connection.
we Wanted To Celebrate The Beauty Of Contrasts—where Heritage Meets Renewal, And The Warmth Of Tradition Blends With The Boldness Of Modern Love. In This Editorial, Luxury Is A Subtle Presence. You'll Find It In The Rich Fabrics, The Gentle Caress Of Natural Light On Crystal Glassware, The Vibrant Colours Of Heirloom Tomatoes, And The Sculptural Forms Of Seasonal Florals. Every Detail Is Intentionally Curated To Tell A Story That Feels Both Organic And Refined.
"italiano Romantico" Is Also An Ode To Time—those Suspended Moments That Quietly Evolve Into Memories. It's About Finding Beauty In Stillness, In Connection, And In The Art Of Celebrating With Intention. This Editorial Celebrates A Universal Love—one That Transcends Borders And Flourishes In Shared Experiences And Elegant Simplicity.
beyond Its Artistic Vision, This Project Aims To Inspire Couples Seeking Authenticity And Character For Their Wedding Day, While Showcasing The Talent And Creative Vision Of Each Vendor Involved. It Serves As Both A Collective Creative Journey And A Celebration Of Craft, Where Every Artisan Is Honoured For Their Unique Contribution.
the Photography Embodies This Same Spirit, Blending Spontaneity And Refinement, Movement And Structure, To Create Imagery That Feels Both Intimate And Editorial. With Cinematic And Fashion-inspired Direction, Each Image Becomes A Poetic Fragment—a Natural Invitation To Linger And Remember.

m'lissa And Mark’s Spring Wedding At The Bower Was The Perfect Mix Of Elegance And Playful Colors. The Day Began With The Kind Of Spring Rain That Makes Everything Feel Fresh And Alive—but Not Without A Little Suspense! As We Drove To The Venue, The Sky Opened Up And Poured. It Rained Right Up Until The Moment We Were About To Begin Their First Look. Then, Like Magic, The Clouds Cleared, The Sun Peeked Through, And We Were Treated To Beautiful Weather For The Rest Of The Day.m’lissa And Mark Chose A Color Palette That Screamed Spring Joy—hot Pink Accented By Pops Of Light Pink, Sunshine Yellow, Orange, And Soft Blues. The Bold, Lively Arrangements Brought So Much Energy To The Space And Tied Together The Colorful, Fun Atmosphere Of The Day. To Complement The Vibrant Pink Theme, Mark And M’lissa Brought In A Stunning Round Pink Bar That Became A Stylish Centerpiece Of The Reception. Guests Gathered Around To Enjoy The Couple’s Signature Cocktails — Mark’s Refreshing Rum Punch And M’lissa’s Sweet And Tangy Hibiscus Berry Smash — Adding An Extra Layer Of Fun To The Celebration. The Pink Bar Not Only Elevated The Atmosphere But Also Became The Perfect Spot For Mingling And Toasting To The Newlyweds.the Bridesmaids Looked Radiant In Mismatched Pinks And A Variety Of Textures, Adding So Much Personality And Dimension To The Photos. M’lissa’s Bridal Look Was Show-stopping: A Sparkly Gown That Shimmered In The Light, Topped Off With A Playful Bow On The Back That Added The Perfect Touch Of Fun Personality.one Of The Highlights Of The Day Was M’lissa’s Outfit Change Before The Reception. She Switched Things Up With A New Hairstyle—a Fun And Bouncy Party Pony—and Stepped Into A Short, Flirty Dress Paired With Hot Pink Nikes. It Was Such A Fun Reflection Of Her Personality And A Perfect Way To Kick Off The Dance Floor.this Day Was Full Of Color, Laughter, And The Kind Of Joy That Makes You Smile Long After The Wedding Is Over.

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.”

straus Home Ranch Is Breathtaking In All Seasons, But Late Winter Has An Energy Of Its Own. The Rain Dramatically Transforms The Hills From Golden And Sun-bleached To The Most Lush, Vibrant Green. Everything Is Ultra Alive And Crisp, And Smells Like Damp Earth Mixed With Coastal Saltiness. It Feels Secluded And Cozy, And You Can Request A Bonfire At Night To Stay Warm.

this Sweet, Quirky, Wedding Day Was Family Oriented, Intimate (~45 Of Their Dearest) And Infused With The Couple's Playful Personalities.

my First Ever Wedding In A Catholic Church Was Held At This Gorgeous Church In Detroit Michigan. Growing Up Catholic, I Was Familiar With All The Moving Parts Of The Mass, But I Had Never Been To A Catholic Ceremony Before This. 

emily & Zach Were Married In The Middle Of The Day At St Florian's, Followed By An Evening Reception At The Palazzo Grande In Sterling Heights Michigan. It's Quite Common For Catholic Ceremonies To Be Midday Because They Are Scheduled Around What The Church Has Planned Already (adoration, Reconciliation, Etc). I Gladly Assist My Couple's With Timeline Planning So We Can Plan A Smooth Flow Of The Day, Especially When A Ceremony Is At 1:00 And A Reception Starts At 6:00!
