This month, we’re featuring Tress and Jonathan’s classy, bright and formal affair. A white wedding with pops of pink and gold, the day had elegance written all over.
How the Couple Met
These high school sweethearts met through a fun, sporty and energetic friend group. While still in their teens, the two remained friends with similar interests and values. It wasn’t until college that sparks began to fly.
Tress and Jonathan found themselves in the same class during her freshman year and his sophomore year. “Let’s just say our relationship started one day when he texted me out of the blue to ask about a ‘homework assignment’ for the class,” writes the bride.
From then on, the two have been inseparable. On July 15, 2023, they said yes to forever with each other.
The Wedding Day
The day began with Tress and her bridesmaids getting dolled up by the experts at K Shelton Beauty and enjoying a lunch from the catering team at Vinterra Event Venue. After soaking up precious time with her best gals, Tress made her way down the aisle at the modern Vinterra.
The Brava Quartette at Box Talent provided beautiful string melodies throughout the ceremony. “Our ceremony was orchestrated beautifully with worship, the sound of strings playing and every chair filled with the people we love the most,” writes the bride.
Following the ceremony, Tress and Jonathan’s guests enjoyed a fun cocktail hour full of coffee, appetizers, games, drawings and photos. Then, guests flooded into a space decked out with decor and rentals from Marianne’s Rentals and Party Pro Rents.
“The reception followed in the blink of an eye after the incredible team of vendors performed a highly detailed room flip,” writes Tress. “Our aisle transformed into the best dance floor we could have hoped for.”
Along with dinner and dancing, the couple cut into their towering six-tier cake, frosted in classic white by Amy Cakes. Thanks to Embellished Weddings, the day went off without a hitch. “Abbey McDaniel was my absolute favorite go-to girl,” writes the bride. “She made everything completely seamless and did everything she possibly could to make sure I was taken care of in every way.”
Tress & Jonathan’s Favorite Moment
“After a fun night of dancing and confetti falling on the dance floor, my new husband and I enjoyed our last private dance—a moment that happens to be one of my favorite memories of the night. As we danced to our song, we looked around, taking in all the beauty in the room, and had the most special moment, just the two of us.”
