Cile and Fisher’s February wedding was filled with family, couture fashion and a whole lot of fun. Centered around pantone color of the year viva magenta, Birmingham wedding planner M. Elizabeth events took the feminine yet playful theme and executed the ultimate southern wedding. Gorgeous pops of pink set the tone for photos captured by destination, wedding, portrait editorial and lifestyle advertising photographer Heather Durham Photography. From family portraits at Cile’s childhood home to signature drinks and cowboy hats at Birmingham Country Club, Cile and Fisher’s wedding photo inspiration is one to inspire.

A silk bridal robe with matching silk bridesmaid pajamas, set the tone as the talented bridal hair and bridal make-up artist, Beloved Beauty styled everyone’s hair and wedding makeup look to perfection. Ciles’s loose and wavy bridal hair complemented her soft and natural bridal make-up. From head to toe, (the bride wore Golden Goose bridal shoes) Cile’s fashion-forward style was seen throughout this joy filled day.

Both bride and mother-of-the-bride wore couture dresses designed exclusively by our designer, Heidi Elnora. Elizabeth and Cile will forever be remembered as the first mother/daughter duo dressed in Heidi Elnora. Each one-of-a-kind look was completed on the 2nd floor of Birmingham’s best bridal shop near me, the Heidi Elnora Atelier with a combined 80+ hours of handwork.

Cile’s classic wedding style with a twist was created by using layers of 3-D organza flowers on an a-line wedding dress. The fitted bridal bodice with straps created a minimalist silhouette. The custom squared back of Cile’s wedding dress created a low back wedding dress which was detailed with hand appliqued and perfectly placed organza flowers. Our atelier team helped Cile to complete her bridal look by styling her designer wedding dress with our most popular veil–our Clean Edge Chapel Veil which was then adorned with individually hand placed organza flowers matching the flowers of the wedding dress. 2023 veil trends are big on details and Cile’s veil was floral perfection.

Ciles’s couture wedding gown was set off by the equally chic bridal party style. Her bridesmaids wore light grey bridesmaid dresses from our dear friends at Bella Bridesmaids, while Fisher and the bride’s father wore custom tailored tuxedos from Brogue and Cuff. Florist Buffy Hargett, created a statement wedding bouquet, which featured a stunning combination of pink peonies, red roses, and greenery.

When it came time for the wedding ceremony, the wedding party convened at Mountain Brook Baptist Church, where Cile and Fisher exchanged vows. Then, they joined their guests for their wedding reception at The Country Club of Birmingham where they enjoyed dinner, live music by Big Bling and the Funk Machine, and wedding cakes by Barb's Cakes. After a night of dancing, the newlyweds enjoyed a sparkle send-off ending with a white vintage jaguar as their getaway car provided by Rare Transportation.

Cile was such a kind and genuine bride to work with, and we are overjoyed to have been part of her wedding day. We are sending our love to her and Fisher!
