Looking back at Ali and Austin’s spring wedding at The Millbottom Jefferson City! The pink and beige throughout the day really captured the feeling of early spring, along with the minimal single blooms that decorated the reception space. So many intimate, emotional moments happened during this day, from the personalized vows the bride and groom read to each other before the ceremony, to the very much enjoyable toasts at dinner. I’m so happy for Ali and Austin and so glad I got to spend this gorgeous day with them! Venue: The Millbottom | Planning/Coordination: Delight Events | DJ: Complete Wed ..read more
