Amid an abundance of roses, Rylee Cragun and Chandler Woodward celebrated their union with an intimate and elegant wedding at The Acre. Inspired by their mutual adoration of their European travels, the couple wanted to incorporate as much of their experiences abroad as possible to transport their guests. White and soft pink florals were featured above the archway to their reception dinner, cascading from a grand piano and peppering each and every table. The rich blooms complemented the classic black-and-white color scheme and accented the subtle lace of the bride’s unique gown, which exuded Old-World sophistication. Chandeliers hung beneath lush greenery, and candlelight warmed the space to create an elevated and welcoming environment for their reception, during which the couple was treated to a rendition of their wedding song played by the bride’s sister, who also happens to be a concert pianist. In a nod to the couple’s first “I love you’s,” the seating chart consisted of handwritten letters to each guest, amplifying the specially crafted and deeply personal atmosphere of their momentous occasion. The evening was capped off with a quick change for the new Mrs.—a retro jumpsuit covered in sequins—and a celebratory sparkler exit.
