Project Overview

Sometimes the most unforgettable weddings are also the most intimate. Ryan and Jacob’s day was proof that true magic lies not in numbers, but in the care poured into each detail. With just thirteen of their closest loved ones by their side, their wedding became a deeply personal experience that elevated every moment into something special.

As their planning, design, and coordination team, Honeysuckle Hollow had the privilege of guiding their vision from start to finish. The smaller guest list created space for bold creativity, thoughtful design, and heartfelt touches that reflected Ryan and Jacob’s personalities at every turn. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a reflection of who they are—elegant, warm, and joyfully authentic.

The Day

Their celebration unfolded at The Lowry House, an historic property in Jackson, MS that provided the perfect canvas for a small but spectacular wedding. The ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, framed by a beautifully designed arch and linens that enhanced the property’s natural charm. With the quiet hum of spring all around, Ryan and Jacob exchanged vows in front of the people who mattered most, creating a ceremony filled with meaning and memory.

The reception continued the sense of closeness while dialing up the elegance. Catered Occasions crafted a dinner that felt indulgent yet personal, accompanied by desserts from Sweet N Savi that delighted guests with sweetness and artistry. Bar service by Gray & Co. provided a polished experience, while the couple’s personal selections of wine and spirits added another layer of individuality.

Every detail was elevated by the scale of the celebration. From the lush florals by Willow Blu to the personalized décor touches that filled the evening, each design element felt intentional. Guests were able to linger over conversation, enjoy every course, and fully soak in the atmosphere—an experience made richer by the intimacy of the group.
