Cozy Al Fresco Affair at The Scott Resort & Spa

Audra and Ryan’s love story began on a school bus at thirteen, a young friendship that slowly blossomed into an everlasting love. Time strengthened their bond, and after a year of living together post-grad, Ryan proposed to Audra under the moonlight in his parents’ backyard.

As a wedding planner herself, Audra brought an intentional hand to every detail of their wedding day, one that celebrated the full arc of their life together. The Scott Resort & Spa provided the ideal setting, fostering the intimate atmosphere the couple sought while comfortably embracing their large circle of family and friends.

Audra floated down a winding aisle in a classic off-the-shoulder gown and lace-trimmed veil, arriving at an arch lush with soft blooms, greenery and moss. As cocktail hour gave way to the reception, a warm and cozy atmosphere emerged through chocolate-hued accents, woven textures and layered patterns. In a subtle nod to their high-school-sweetheart roots, the linked-heart motif from their save-the-dates was woven throughout the décor. A custom embroidered hat station invited guests to create their own party favor—a playful touch that spilled naturally onto the dance floor.

The careful curation of their day gave Audra and Ryan the freedom to let loose and celebrate their newlywed status beneath a sea of glittering disco balls. --Ryley S. Hoff
