Real Wedding: Richard and Daniel's Spring Wedding at Aldridge Gardens

A beautiful springtime garden wedding at one of Birmingham’s favorite garden venues

Richard and Daniel Boone-Thomas were married on a gorgeous April day at Aldridge Gardens in Hoover, Alabama. They crafted a beautiful, joyful, and intentional event for their friends and family to enjoy, and it was an honor to help them plan their day!

As they told me at some point early in our planning process, they never expected to be able to do this and celebrate getting married, so they wanted their wedding to reflect not only who they are as a couple, but also celebrate and party with all of those people who have supported them! We cannot think of a better definition of a wedding, for any couple. That is what it’s all about, friends! #loveislove

Keep on reading for some of the details about their day! We excel at “matchmaking” our couples with their vendor team, and this was one heck of a team that came together.
