Grace and Wes’ 255 Milledge wedding in Athens, Georgia, was the perfect mix of holiday cheer and Southern charm. Just days before Christmas, they brought their friends and family together in The Classic City for a celebration that felt warm, inviting, and full of personality.

The design embraced soft brown tones accented with pops of blue and plaid, with candlelight creating a cozy glow throughout the evening. Grace’s bridesmaids wore a stunning mix of colors, each dress unique, adding richness and texture to the day. Their dog made a sweet appearance during the ceremony, a personal touch that had everyone smiling.

True to Athens style, Grace and Wes treated guests to some local favorites. Their late-night snack was Raising Cane’s chicken – always a crowd pleaser – and slices of the iconic cheesecake from Last Resort Grill. Between bites, the dance floor came alive, and in the spirit of the season, Santa hats made their way into the celebration.

The whole day felt like a reflection of who they are as a couple: thoughtful, joyful, and deeply connected to the city they love. From the cozy winter palette to the personal details woven throughout, Grace and Wes’ 255 Milledge wedding was a beautiful reminder that the best celebrations are the ones that feel like home.
