Madsion and Tom had a luxury wedding in Savannah at the Perry Lane Hotel. Their love story began in 2021 when they found each other on a dating app. The journey from their first meeting to falling head over heels for each other happened quickly, as they both realized a desire to always be together. Tom surprised Madison with a proposal on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Upon their return home, he presented her with a stunning engagement ring: a pear-shaped family diamond set in a Tacori rose gold band and accentuated with smaller diamonds. Living in Savannah, it was only natural for them to take advantage of the city’s beauty for their engagement photos.
Madison began her wedding day in a suite at the JW Marriot located at Plant Riverside in downtown Savannah. With a vantage point overlooking the Savannah River, the bridal party enjoyed views of the city, ports and even playful dolphins in the water. The expansive windows, reaching from floor to ceiling, filled the room with beautiful natural light, crafting a stunning setting for capturing photographs and complimenting the bride’s own radiance.
McQueen, Madison’s dog, was one of the highlights of the morning. He accompanied Madison wherever she went and behaved like a perfect gentleman all morning. When it was time photos, it was hard to determine who drew more attention, the bride or McQueen. Madison said, “I could not think of having my wedding day happen without McQueen being involved. I have had him since he was 10-weeks old and for a long time he was my only and most reliable companion. He came everywhere with me and just has been the best pup I could ask for. I wanted to make sure that he was involved in some way and that I had photos with him.”
The Brides Look: Madison looked absolutely stunning in her strapless bridal gown. The lace-adorned fitted bodice showcased a romantic silhouette, while the soft and dreamy skirt embodied every bride’s fantasy. Madison said, “I really loved my dress. I thought the cut was very flattering and loved the flower application detail on it. It gave a whimsical and romantic feeling to the dress. When I tried the dress on for the first time it was the first dress that I felt comfortable in and that it highlighted my figure. I liked the way that I looked in it, like a bride. That’s how I knew it was the one I wanted.”
On the wedding day, Tom and his groomsmen opted for the Perry Lane Hotel as their pre-wedding venue. Situated in Savannah’s historic district, this luxury hotel exudes refined southern charm that makes it a sought-after destination. Adjacent to the lobby is The Library, where Tom spent his morning. Once they were dressed, Tom and his groomsmen, enjoyed playing a few rounds of poker at the nearby table.
Madison and Tom’s ceremony was held on the rooftop of the Perry Lane Hotel providing a stunning view of the city of Savannah. Prior to the reception at the hotel, the bridal party captured photos at Chippewa Square, just a few blocks away. The rooftop ballroom, which features a patio for cocktail hour, can be transformed for the lively festivities following dinner. It was a truly a beautiful wedding, and we wish Madison and Tom a lifetime of happiness.
