We wanted to create a beautiful reception that still felt like a wedding reception at home. The sailcloth tent provided by Chattanooga Tent was adorned with crystal chandeliers and overlooked the edge of our garden which had hanging votives and furniture for guests to enjoy a quiet moment in the beautiful setting.” Chapman’s bouquet and all the florals for the wedding and reception had a personal touch — they were by Phyllis Mayfield of Mayfield Events and Design, who also happened to be the bride’s childhood nanny.
