An Elegant Backyard Wedding Under a Magnolia Tree in Florence, Alabama

Abba Reid and Nate Reed started their romance in ninth grade. Abba – the daughter of fashion designer Billy Reid and market director for the brand’s Florence, Alabama flagship – started to fall for Nate after watching him play in a beachside baseball tournament. “Nate and I ended up walking on the beach every night, getting to know each other,” she remembers of the moments before they started dating. “We were just 14-year-old kids, but those kids knew what they had was something special.

With a goal of letting guests feel “laid-back and at home,” the couple made arrangements for a summer wedding during a classic Alabama heat wave. An indoor reception space a few blocks from their home in downtown Florence, Pickett on Court, was available and felt like a match: “It was beautifully decorated with artwork, florals, antique rugs and more to make the space feel cohesive to our home,” says Abba.

In matching ice-blue satin charmeuse dresses, the bridal party carried an intentional colour story. “The light blue colour of the dress was used throughout our wedding,” says Abba of the shade that popped up in their Paperhaus invitation suite and flower arrangements by Susan Rowe. As a continuation of “something blue,” Nate’s groomsmen wore navy Billy Reid Walton trousers and jackets.
