Longtime sweethearts Brianna Jennings (28 and an advertising account executive) and Ryan Jennings (28 and a portfolio manager at a wealth-management firm) got married close to home at the Clayton on the Park, an area of Scottsdale, Arizona, that's part of their everyday life. Their heartfelt ceremony took place on the top floor overlooking the park where they frequently walk their dog, Lola, followed by a cocktail hour on the patio that overflowed into the park. Brianna and Ryan accented the modern and elegant feel of the Clayton on the Park with a palette of white and silver with pops of Tiffany blue and light aqua. Lux Wedding Florist provided chic flowers throughout the day, from over-the-top arrangements at the ceremony to minimalist bud vases on the tables. At the indoor reception, Got You Covered Music played a lively mix of today’s top hits and '90s throwback sprinkled with a few country songs. The best part? Brianna and Ryan got to spend meaningful time with all of their 100 guests. “Every guest at our wedding was someone who was truly an important part of our lives. At the time of our wedding, we had been dating for just over 10 years. It was a fun gathering and reunion for everyone!” At the end of the night, after lots of laughing and hugs, everyone gathered to see Brianna and Ryan hop into a white horse and carriage that carried them through the park. Ryan & Denise Photography captured the whole thing, below.

Ryan wore a dark charcoal suit, silver vest and a dark gray tie with a white rose boutonniere. His groomsmen wore light aqua neckties to match the bridesmaids.
Brianna’s dress was absolutely stunning! She wore a sleeveless ivory trumpet-style wedding dress with lace appliques, an illusion neckline and a plunging back lined with buttons.
Brianna carried a white, textured bouquet of hydrangeas, roses and freesia with pops of greens.
Brianna’s bridesmaids wore light aqua strapless chiffon dresses with crystal statement necklaces for a light, chic look that matched the venue and wedding style.
Dramatic floral arrangements in tall glass trumpet vases framed the ceremony. They consisted of white roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus, freesia, mini green hydrangeas, Bells of Ireland and hanging amaranthus.

The patio overlooking the park, where Brianna and Ryan’s cocktail hour took place, offered plenty of modern lounge furniture and space to mingle as guests snacked on appetizers and sipped beverages such as the red berry sangria signature cocktail.
Modern silver cross-back chairs added an edgy, contemporary vibe to the classic white dining tables.
The dining tables the Clayton on the Park in Scottsdale, Arizona, hosted modern minimalist submerged bud vases of white callas, roses and hydrangeas topped with floating candles and elegant silver table numbers.
Brianna kept her makeup light and natural with added drama around her eyes. She styled her hair in a romantic updo to show off the plunging back of her gorgeous wedding dress.
Instead of a tiered wedding cake, Brianna and Ryan had a cupcake tower with large and mini cupcakes. The cupcakes were vanilla with white frosting and sugar dust or chocolate with light aqua frosting and white pearl accents. Their single-tier cake on top had quilted ivory fondant with a few fondant aqua hydrangeas to tie in the palette.
