Daily Destination | Detroit with Jade McCully
Thursday July 22nd, 2010
Remember that awesome vintage-inspired engagement session from Savannah wedding photographer Jade McCully that we posted on Tuesday? Well, you’re in for a treat because today we have Ashley & Khalil’s wedding to share with you!
Ashley & Khalil
Ashley & Khalil were wed at Historic Little Rock Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan. Their wedding and reception were both about the great migration northward of former slaves, and Ashley put a tremendous amount of effort into all the details – especially her outfits and her bridesmaids’ jewelery and hair pieces. Their reception was held at the Charles H. Wright Museum of the African American History and boy, what a reception it was! Do you SEE those towering white lily and feather centerpieces?! Other special details included a watermelon cocktail, southern soul food, dolls representing different eras in history, and a book that each guest received documenting special events in Ashley & Khalil’s life – including recipes!
The night ended in the basement, which was set up like a speakeasy! Ashley changed into a hot pink asymmetric number with lots and lots of ruffles so she and Khalil could dance the night away with their guests.
Congratulations, Ashley & Khalil! A truly beautiful celebration for the start of your lives together. Thanks, Jade, for letting us share their special day! Visit her blog to see more of her wedding photography and fine art work. Fun fact: it was Jade’s fine art work that convinced Ashley to book her in the first place!
