Mallory & Raymond
Lets learn a little bit about these two sweet souls before we get into all of the wedding details! Mallory and Raymond met (unknowingly at the time) in Kindergarten where they had no clue they would one day meet again and eventually get married! Sadly, after Kindergarten Mallory switched schools and it wasn’t until they were 23 that their paths crossed again. The story goes, Mallory went with a girlfriend to a mexican restaurant where she was meeting her boyfriend. Just so happen to be that Raymond was a friend of Mallory’s friends boyfriend – phew, it took a lot of people to bring these 2 back together!! From there on out, they have been together! Whether it was putt putt golf, cooking together, loving on their puppy Levi, or doing absolutely nothing with one another, they were together and in love!
Raymond proposed overlooking all of Nashville, after they had to “reroute” on the way to brunch with some friends! I can only imagine what a view it was!!
Wedding Day
Mallory & Raymond held their wedding at Bridlewood of Madison on March 30, 2019 at 5:30 pm. It was a gorgeous day for a enchanting outdoor ceremony. From the beautiful and simple greenery and flowers done by Fresh Cut Catering & Floral, to every small detail it was all enchanting. Mallory & Raymond had a first look down by the outdoor arbor at Bridlewood that was oh so pretty! – you don’t have to take my word for it though, just scroll on down 🙂 It was such a fun day capturing the love and beauty for these two!!
Y’all, this ring and alll of its exquisite details!! Look at that setting of the diamond, oh so pretty!!
Mallory was truly a STUNNING bride!! She had the whole boho enchanting look about her and was killing it!
First looks are so so good!! Not only for great intimate pictures, but they allow you to get all of those nerves and tears out together, just the two of you! 
This lighting. I mean, could it get any better?? 
Mallory & Raymond were surrounded by so much love on their special day!! What a great looking wedding party!
There is something about this view. The wood pews, the arbor, the huge oak tree and all the nature to be captured. No matter how many times I am blessed to see it, its always a gorgeous view. 
Reception
Mallory & Raymond held their reception at Bridlewood of Madison as well, at their indoor barn. They danced their first dance to Born to Love you by Lanco. They had Al Paris and the Heartbreakers to entertain them and their guests for the duration of the night. Wendy Putt with Fresh Cut Catering & Floral as always did an amazing job with all of the floral arrangements and greenery! It was beyond enchanting. They chose Cakes by Iris for their wedding cakes and man, weren’t they gorgeous?! Raymond’s was a golf themed grooms cake and Mallory’s an exquisite, three tier, white cake with satin ribbon on each layer and adorning flowers! And lets not skip over that AHH-MAZING backdrop below the cake!! -see below and more if you keep scrolling 🙂
Also, these centerpieces. I still cannot get over how absolutely beautiful and different they are!!
All of these beautiful floral arrangements and designs were so unique!! Fresh Cut does an amazing job!
First dance as Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Strode!!
Mallory & Raymond left Bridlewood being celebrating by a long line of family, friends, and sparklers!! No better way to end the day! They #strodedowntheaisle one more time, but this time as Mr. and Mrs. 
The Strodes
Mallory & Raymond are living in Brandon, Ms. where Raymond is a HVAC technician with a contract company and Mallory works as a graphic designer at Snapshot Publishing. Although I’ll bet they are still adjusting to their new normal, I’m sure they are having the best time! That is what is so fun about marrying your true love! You get to experience all the ups and downs of life together and love each other through it! I wish y’all the very best and hope your day was all you dreamed it would be!
XoXo,
Lindsay
