Sophie & William in Lamont, FL

The Bride Sophie Patent, 28, legislative director at Dutko Poole McKinley The Groom William Smith, 28, assistant vice president at Capital City Bank The Date December 10 With more than 400 guests, Sophie and William knew it would be difficult to find a venue large enough in the Tallahassee area. So when friends offered to host the wedding at their plantation home, the couple jumped at the chance -- and designed their day to complement the southern-style property. Natural hues and rustic details harmonized beautifully with the setting.
