Several smaller cakes had buttercream frosting and were topped with fresh blush roses.

Gold vintage couches and rustic touches like tree stumps decorated the reception lounge area.

Low, bronzed vases overflowed with greenery and soft-hued roses.

Stella and Tim fell in love with Mayowood’s rustic stone ceilings. They say, “It resembled the interior of Italian villas we’d seen.”

Drinks like French 77s, Pimm’s Cups and mint juleps were served during the cocktail hour.

Wooden signs directed guests to different parts of the property.

Both of Tim’s parents are ministers, so they designed and officiated the wedding ceremony for the couple.

Guests shielded themselves from the sun with parasols as the couple exchanged vows under the twisted branches of a giant oak tree.

The girls wore short pale- gold silk dresses; the guys coordinated in summer-appropriate gray suits.

The guys wore a single rose blossom and geranium leaves on their lapels.

Stella carried a white, pale-yellow and light-pink bunch of garden roses, freesias and anemones.
