With Malik’s interest in history and Ivy’s love for the Southern Charm, together they couple found that Chattanooga embraced both experience that best resembled their ideal wedding. The couple wanted to bring an experience that no one would expect - and inviting friends and family to a new location that the couple believes no one considers traveling to in the US was part of their plan. They wanted a wedding that felt personal, different, and perfectly suited to their individual passions. It was a wedding that truly captured their love story, while introducing everyone to a new location filled with charm, history, and warmth — a place they would remember for years to come.
We can’t wait to celebrate with all our favorite people—and we’d love for everyone to get dressed up for the occasion! The dress code is black-tie optional: ladies - please wear long dresses. Gentlemen - please wear a suit and tie. Once you arrive at the venue, you’ll see the vision come to life! Kindly, no jeans.
We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing white, ivory, or cream in order to allow the bride to stand out on this special day. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating together in style.
