Project Overview

Hayden and Christian’s wedding was envisioned as a true Southern celebration, rooted in timeless tradition yet elevated with modern design and personal details. Set in the heart of downtown Jackson, Mississippi, the day unfolded across two iconic venues — the historic First Baptist Jackson Chapel and the Faulkner Building, a landmark known for its classic architecture and sweeping views of the city.

From the start, the couple dreamed of a wedding that felt both elegant and welcoming, a reflection of their love story and the community of family and friends who surrounded them. With careful planning, trusted Mississippi wedding vendors, and an eye for detail, every moment was designed to strike a balance between reverence and joy. The result was not only a beautiful wedding day but an experience that honored tradition while embracing the vibrant energy of Jackson itself.

The Day

The ceremony unfolded inside the historic First Baptist Jackson Chapel, where soaring ceilings and classic architecture created a reverent atmosphere for vows spoken before family and friends. Afterward, guests were ushered into the Faulkner Building, a beloved Jackson landmark, where celebration met architectural grandeur.

The city itself added a touch of unexpected excitement. Downtown Jackson pulsed with the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade just steps from the venue. With thoughtful planning and poised execution, the parade became part of the story rather than a distraction — adding energy and charm without ever interrupting the couple’s carefully designed day.

As the evening drew to a close, Hayden and Christian stepped into a vintage muscle convertible. Confetti shimmered under the glow of Capitol Street as loved ones cheered. It was an exit as bold and unforgettable as the love story that brought them there.
