French Country Aesthetic With a Palette Inspired by Nature
When Rebecca Rose Events and Anne Rhett Photography team up for a french country-inspired wedding, you know the results will be nothing short of breathtaking. The beautiful bride kicked tradition to the curb with the epic Monique Lhuillier "Bloom" gown in a sage green hue while her 'maids donned all white.

Ann Bennett loves a French country aesthetic and wanted the wedding to feel like a breath of fresh air and effortlessly beautiful. We leaned into a palette of blues and greens - all inspired by nature - with a few very playful hints of her favorite color: orange.
Her sister, Janie, the maid of honor, wore a pale blue gown and all of the other girls wore white. Ann Bennett wanted her sister to be distinctive, and it was such a unique spin on the old traditions since her own dress was patterned with green floral details, and the only white gowns were worn by the bridal party. Janie’s dress was such a fun “something blue” (in addition to the blue detailing on Ann Bennett’s Manolo Blahnik heels, of course.)
We used fresh, seasonal flowers to create a soft, garden aesthetic, including peonies, garden roses, sweet pea, ranunculus, larkspur, tweedia, and greenery such as gardenia foliage, hosta leaves, Italian ruscus, and variegated pittosporum.
The welcome gifts contained some fun local favorites: Moravian sugar cookies, a treat unique to Winston-Salem (Ann Bennett’s hometown, and the location of the wedding), and Chicago’s famous Garrett popcorn, a staple from the city where AB and Ryan have made their home.
