After meeting in eighth grade, Chudney and Ryan’s storybook romance unfolded at the football field in high school. The cheerleader and football player were a match made in heaven and, although Chudney has since retired the pompoms, she continues to cheer her now-husband on from the NFL sidelines. 

Blush and white garden roses, peonies, ranunculus, and hydrangeas paired beautifully with lush greenery to turn Sandlewood Manor into a true spectacle. Inspired by Southern charm, Chudney and Ryan wanted to create a timeless, enchanting vibe that guests would remember for the rest of their lives — and that’s exactly what they did. 

From the outdoor ceremony to a poolside cocktail hour, the newlyweds celebrated their 10+ year love story in style. The all-white reception space was decked out with candles, with a stunning floral arrangement and chandelier hung above the custom dance floor. The pair placed special focus on live music and entertainment, dancing the night away with their guests as a live artist painted the scene to capture forever. 

Chudney advises other couples to “have some wiggle room in your budget for unexpected mishaps. Also, invest in entertainment to ensure your guests have a great time.”
