Ben & Alli Scott: Details

Ben & Alli were married October 2nd in Eureka Springs in one of my favorite weddings of the year! This amazing Boston couple decided on a destination wedding in Eureka Springs because of Faye Jones' Thorncrown Chapel which they had studied in their Architecture classes in college. Once the destination was decided, they contacted Finishing Touch to design and coordinate the wedding. Through countless phone calls and emails we worked with Alli & Ben to make their southern wedding dreams come true!

Because this wedding and the photos from Hudson Photography are so amazing, I couldn't narrow the photos down to just a handful. Instead I'll be doing a series of posts starting here all of the fabulous details....

The tables were topped with gold satin linens and burlap runners from BBJ...

Place cards, created by the bride's graphic designer sister, doubled as their favors - CDs of traditional Scottish music which was played during cocktail hour.

One of the beautiful centerpieces.
