A Classic, Traditional Wedding at The Grace Museum in Abilene, Texas

In search of a classic, elegant aesthetic, Leah Mazzarelli (25 and a communications coordinator) and Ross Bennett (30 and a loan officer) chose a timeless color scheme of gold, champagne, ivory and black so as not to distract from the venue’s beauty.

“I really wanted the day to feel special and timeless in every aspect,” Leah says. She wore two family heirloom rings on her right hand: an engagement ring from one great-grandmother and a wedding band from another. 

Leah’s six bridesmaids wore floor-length, champagne-colored dresses—a shade that wouldn’t clash with the deep turquoise and gold details throughout the museum’s ballroom. “I chose six different styles online and let them have their pick,” Leah says. “It worked out well for everyone—they all looked beautiful!”
