What happens when an MTE planner gets married?? We go all out!! Yesterday we shared the most incredible wedding day with Dori and Brock - and we are never getting over it.

We have patiently waited on and planned this day for years. While Brock was away in the army, Dori counted down the days until she could see him - going months at a time without being able to talk to each other.

It truly was the best day with our sweet community. Thank you to our INCREDIBLE vendor team for bringing our design dreams to life!! And to for this amazing video highlighting the day!!

While some students come into college wanting to go into finance or to be a doctor, Madelyn Tenney found that she wanted to be a wedding planner, and she thought,

🤍 THE BACKYARD TRANSFORMATION 🤍

🤍 Our team had 6 months to do full-service planning and completely flip this brides backyard into the wedding of her dreams! We would say it was a success 😉

🤍 One aspect that the bride really wanted highlighted was the florals. Early on, we decided to use hints of purple in otherwise neutral arrangements because it was special to her.

🤍 April was married on a beautiful June evening in the backyard where she grew up playing as a child. Perfection.

🤍 255 MILLEDGE🤍

🤍 Ever wanted to experience a tent wedding in the city that feels secluded? Romanticize the area with draping greenery and light florals.

🤍 Tents like this one at 255 can help the crowd to flow, and provide a fun environment to include every single guest!

🤍 THE PERFECT SHOES 🤍

🤍 A HUGE part of your bridal look is picking the perfect shoes! These Loeffler Randall shoes are timeless classics.

🤍 Tip - pick comfy shoes that you can easily walk in. Maybe even throw in a change of shoes for the dance floor!

🤍 Keep in mind your height difference. If you want to be way shorter than your husband, you don’t have to wear heels!!

XOXO,
Madelyn Tenney Events

🤍 THE BROWNS 🤍

🤍 Introducing one of our favorite couples of all time: Trevor and Raven. This wedding was so special to our team for many reasons, but the main one was how excited the couple was to be finally getting married and how completely in love they were with each other!!

🤍 When I was walking with Trevor to get him mic’ed up for the ceremony, I asked him how he was feeling about everything. His answer brought tears to my eyes: “I’m feeling the nerves for sure, but every time I see Raven, she makes it so much better. I calm down immediately. I’m ready.”

🤍 Raven poured her heart and soul into the planning process. She made the meetings, to-do lists, and follow-ups a breeze. She was so passionate about putting in the work beforehand, and it truly paid off on wedding day.

🤍 I actually attended the same high school as the groom, and his little sister ( ) is one of my forever friends. We love getting to be a part of weddings with so many familiar faces.

XOXO,
Madelyn Tenney Events

🤍 LOCATION 🤍

🤍 One of the most important things to decide for your wedding day is picture location. It may sound simple, but your photo backgrounds need to fit the vibe for the rest of the day.

🤍 For example, don’t do couple portraits in a boho/woodsy area if your day is more traditional and bright.

🤍 My main tip is to focus on the color pallete of the locations, and see what flows!

XOXO,
Madelyn Tenney Events

🤍 DETAILS🤍

🤍 We are loving this classic pearl bracelet paired with the pearled texture of the dress. Small details like this one do not go unnoticed!

🤍 But far more precious than the pearls is the brides supportive parents, standing by her side in unity.

🤍 Forever adoring everything about this photo!!!

XOXO,

Need to borrow pipe and drape for an event Saturday. Does anyone have any connections? Maybe a church?

21/09/2022

🤍 OUR “WHY” 🤍

🤍 Prayer is powerful!! At Madelyn Tenney Events, we can all agree on one thing - our purpose in planning weddings is to glorify God.

🤍 There is no better place to experience the Holy Spirit and the Love of God than a wedding day.

🤍 The church is Christ’s bride, and to see just a glimpse of the Heavenly love that the Father has for us makes all of the late nights, phone calls, and schedules worth it!

🤍 We love because He first loved us. John 4:19

XOXO,
Madelyn Tenney Events

🤍 CAKE TIPS 🤍

🤍 To some people, cakes are the most important part of the wedding day. But to some who aren’t foodies,, it can simply be a huge unexpected expense!

🤍 If you are one of those people.. we have a tip for you! Purchase a small 2 tier cake for the bridal party and family. That will be the “show cake” you can take pictures with.

🤍 Next, have catering prepare a sheet cake in the back. These are SO much cheaper than tiered cakes - grab one from Publix!! Catering can bring out sheet cake as you are simultaneously cutting the tiered cake.

🤍 Now, everyone is happy!! Let them eat cake!!

XOXO,
Madelyn Tenney Events

🤍 MEET KATELYN 🤍

🤍 One of my favorite wedding days of all was in my hometown! The wedding was beautiful, intimate, and literally steps from my home. To me, seeing our sweet community come together to celebrate the day was so special.

🤍 All of the locations that I had grown up loving were transformed and used in a new way - to celebrate the couples love for each other. It was truly such a special day and one I will treasure forever.

XOXO,
