Springtime Wedding in Oxford

Every April I feel the excitement and anticipation of wedding season kickoff, and Logan and Dru’s gorgeous Spring ceremony was the perfect start!

High school sweethearts Logan & Dru chose Oxford as their wedding destination because this quaint town holds a special place in their hearts- it was here they spent their weekends when they began dating, here they moved for college, and now it will always be a special place they can revisit with their future children.

“I chose my venue because my husband and I grew up going to Oxford on the weekends. When we started dating it was our favorite weekend trip. Eventually we got to move there and go to Ole Miss for college. When looking at many different venues we decided on the chapel on campus and the Lyric. Dru made a great point that we will always go back to the Ole Miss campus and the Square and see these places. He said it’s cool that one day our kids will get to visit these places and we can just be like “hey that’s where we got married.””

Paris-Yates Chapel

The couple decided to do a first look at the Memory House, also on campus. “I was very nervous and overwhelmed until our first look. I was so glad me and Dru decided to do a first look because as soon and I was with him all of the nerves left me and I was just overjoyed to be marrying him.”

The ceremony took place on the beautiful Ole Miss campus at Paris-Yates Chapel. As the couple exchanged their vows, their closest friends and family watched on with happy tears. The wedding party was made up of their best friends (and hype team) and those who had been by their side through thick and thin.

When it was time for the kiss, Dru pulled out all the stops with a dip and the couple exited to an upbeat Elvis song- their favorite.

“The guests raved about our first kiss and our exit! We are huge Elvis fans and the fun upbeat music when we were leaving was a blast!” Logan noted.

Lyric Theater Reception

The reception was held on the Square at the historic Lyric Theater, which provided a stunning backdrop for the celebration to continue. Logan was thrilled with how customizable everything was and her best friend and maid of honor Maddie, who is also a wedding planner, helped her every step of the way. The bride's color scheme of pretty blues, navy, champagne, and white was a hit, with everyone noting how beautifully the colors came together.

“I think the most special thing that we did was the dinner we had between our ceremony and reception [at the Lyric]. It gave us some time in private to relax on our big day before having to enter the reception!” Logan said.

The dance floor was packed all night long as the newlyweds and their guests danced the night away. Hugs were shared as people congratulated the happy couple and the love for the couple was easily felt by all.

As the reception came to an end, guests lined the street with sparklers to send off the newlyweds. The perfect way to end a perfect day. The party continued on the Oxford Square, and everyone was excited for Logan & Dru’s happily ever after.

“We actually stayed up until 4 am just reflecting on how much we loved the day. We didn’t have a single complaint because every vendor did an amazing job and our guests had so much fun!” Logan said. “I am so excited to see our reception photos! I can’t wait to see the shots of everyone having fun!”

It was a beautiful celebration of two people who have been in love since high school and have now become one. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Lots of love and cheers,
