Mallory & Grason's Alabama Spring Open Air Chapel Wedding

Mallory and Grason

The last weekend in March threw us a curveball and kept us on our toes watching the weather but the day was perfect in every way. Mallory Armindano and Grason Cottingham were the first couple of 2021 to say “I do” in an evening ceremony here at Bradford Farms.

If the words “open air chapel” do not give you an indication of the storybook nature of Mallory + Grason’s wedding day, then just wait until you see the picturesque images that were captured by Heather Bradford Sherrill of Create Portraiture. A delicate blend of cream and dusty rose was beautiful in the unique chapel setting at our venue. Vaulted ceilings, stained glass window, carved antique doors with cream draping’s and crawling greenery accented by gorgeous arrangements by our team created a breath-taking setting for the ceremony.

Mallory’s grandfather preformed the service but a highlight of our day was when the doors swung open and everyone laid eyes on the beautiful bride in her stunning long sleeve mermaid style gown with plunging neckline and lace detail. Mallory was a bride that was magazine worthy but the look on Grason’s face while she was walking down the isle was so loving, tender, and genuine it had everyone in tears. After the ceremony the bride and groom were swept away to take sunset portraits, feast on a meal from Southern Skillet and catch their breath before they joined their guests at the reception.

Mallory and Grason had a fun group of friends that celebrated with them and danced the night away. The environment the family and friends created for the newlyweds is what we love to see for all our couples that choose Bradford Farm and Venue for their wedding and celebration.

To the new Mr. and Mrs. Cottingham~You are near and dear to our hearts and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
