January 20, 2024 // St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Reception at the home of the bride
Daylight shone brightly on a clear winter Saturday for Clara and Mac’s high-noon ceremony at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Pulling off a garden party-inspired wedding in the middle of January is no easy task, but seeing as Clara is the fourth of five girls to be married in her family, her parents took it in stride, with gorgeous results. At the reception, held at the bride’s home, guests indulged in classic milk punch under a clear-top tent decorated with decadent florals. Guests enjoyed beignets and sliders from the Mo’Bay Beignet food truck along with offerings from Morrissette & Co., including a martini bar, oyster bar, and macaroni and cheese bar. The reception came to a close as Blow House Brass Band led the couple in a second-line exit.
