One Couple's Pink-and-Peach Rooftop Wedding at The Faulkner in Jackson, Mississippi

To celebrate their marriage, Kristen and Bill exchanged vows on the rooftop of The Faulkner overlooking downtown Jackson, Mississippi. After tying the knot the couple and their guests celebrated with a vibrant reception filled with a sherbet-inspired peach-and-purple color palette. Kristen is a professional stationer so not only was she the bride of this wedding, but she also took care of designing all the paper goods and even crafted a custom KB monogram to celebrate her union to Bill. "I hand-painted a pattern that was used throughout the wedding paper," explains Kristen of the personalization she filled the wedding with from the onset. "After I created it, we thought it would be fun to have pillows and linens made with that same pattern. It turned out awesome and really reflected my artistic style and profession."

Since the couple's wedding day took place in the midst of the pandemic, Kristen and Bill wanted to plan a celebration that felt "bright, light and fun. I wanted our wedding to feel like a breath of fresh air amongst the craziness of Covid," explains Kristen. "I wanted it to feel comfortable, familiar and fun. The colors we chose to base the entire wedding were a melding of soft colors (pink and mint) with bolder colors (hunter green and burnt orange). The burnt orange specifically references the University of Texas Longhorns I grew up cheering for and the Mississippi clay that much of our state sits upon. The hunter green was specifically for Bill and his love of nature and the outdoors." Not only were the couple's wedding colors chosen because of the meaning they carried, but even the floral designs paid homage to details about their love story. "I wanted the florals to feel very us and I wanted to incorporate dried flowers to give a nod to the original place we were supposed to get engaged, Joshua Tree. It felt very much like us," says Kristen. "Bill loves the outdoors, duck hunting, and nature in general so the designs felt like a beautiful melding of our two styles." In the end, the couple's entire day, from their rooftop vows to their confetti-filled getaway, was filled with ample personalization and meaning. In that vein, Kristen's advice to current to-be-weds is to never forget that "the most important thing is the two of you. If it doesn't speak to you or you don't love it don't feel obligated to make it a part of your wedding."
