When she was young, Whitney loved spotting the bees woven into upholstery and carpets at The Omni Homestead Resort, where her family has vacationed for decades. Years later, bees were a recurring symbol at her crisp spring wedding to Kelly. “I wanted to carry the casual elegance of the hotel itself into our wedding day style,” Whitney says. Soft stripes, a custom crest and white-and-green floral arrangements streamlined the look. Whitney wore a Hayley Paige gown with a full organza skirt. “The stripes were just the special touch I was hoping for,” she says. The couple opted for a hunter green, sage, gold and white palette, accented with blush and peach. “It was important to me to have consistent colors and imagery without getting too heavy into anything in particular,” Whitney says.  Dinner stations included Whitney’s favorites from the venue’s past holiday buffets: Virginia glazed ham and shrimp and grits. Whitney and Kelly also served Natty Boh as a tribute to their home in Baltimore.
