Aglow with candlelight, the altar and towering pipes of the organ were banked with baskets of Boston fern placed at graduated heights and interspersed with floral arrangements on white columns.
The bride was radiant wearing a strapless designer gown by Bonny. The fold down bodice of white French matte satin featured a fitted corset accented by a detailed array of floral embroidery and hand sewn pearls. The flowing skirt of silk tulle was enhanced with more of the French matte satin forming a banded trim. She held a bridal bouquet of white, yellow and purple roses accented with baby’s breath and ribbon.
Complimenting her wedding ensemble was a single strand pearl necklace and matching bracelet. The jewelry was a gift from the bride’s sister, Julie Annette Todd, and cousin Justin Hobbs.
The bride was accompanied down the aisle by her father and the bridal couple’s daughter, Rylin Dunlap. The little girl wore an ankle-length dress of white batiste and embroidered chiffon with a halo of purple and yellow flowers.
Flower girl Caylie Sherrell, the bride’s cousin, wore an ankle-length dress of lavender batiste with an overlay of embroidered chiffon and halo of purple and yellow flowers.
The dresses worn by Rylin and Caylie were made especially for them by the bride and Jill Davenport.
Matron of honor was Julie Todd of Cookeville with Talissa Pelham as bridesmaid. The honor attendant wore a yellow satin and chiffon frock fashioned with a dramatically draped back. The bridesmaid wore a similarly styled frock in a purple hue. They carried floral bouquets of purple and yellow roses with the stems wrapped in satin ribbon.
Joe Cantrell served as best man and Justin Hobbs was the groomsman. Dylan Lockhart, son of the bridesmaid, was ring bearer.
The bride’s mother was attired in a two-pieced suit enhanced with rhinestones on the collar and trim. Mother of the bridegroom wore a long two-pieced dress of satin.
Immediately following the ceremony a reception was held in the church fellowship hall.
Servers were Courtney Beaty, the bride’s best friend, and Andrea Lewis-Hobbs, the bride’s cousin.
The setting for the wedding and reception, decorated by the bride’s aunt, Sherri Judkins, emphasized the bride’s chosen colors.
