Kimberly Williams and Gary Clayton had a couture Valentine’s Day weekend wedding inspired by the fashion powerhouse Chanel. This stylish couple honored Kimberly’s late mother who was a buyer for Chanel by incorporating white lions into the couple’s monogram. Their chic black, white and gold color scheme with crystal accents was gorgeously infused in all of their decor by Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events. Michelle shares, “Kimberly wore a champagne hued gown and of course Chanel heels! She carried an elegant rose and orchid cascading bouquet. The couple exchanged vows flanked by black columns with cascading gold and white paper flowers. They sealed their love letters to each other during a wine box ceremony in a custom monogram wooden box made by the stationer Papered Wonders. As the couple was pronounced and recessed down the aisle, guests tossed gold confetti.” The couple’s reception space was the personification of luxury with Chanel Perfume bottles, black and gold sequin linens and chic arrangements of white hydrangeas, phalaenopsis orchids and roses covering their tables. After the couple said goodbye to their guests, they shared one last dance alone in the ballroom before heading up to their honeymoon suite. This beautiful and intimate winter wedding was masterfully photographed by Janet Howard Studio.

What a beautiful wedding and couple. I love the colors which I am planning to use for my NYE wedding. This wedding was classy, extremely elegant and gave me some great inspiration. Congratulations to the bride and groom. Wishing you many years of love and success in your union.
Her wedding gown is from Winnie Couture

Beautiful!
I am Kimberly’s aunt and was there to experience the setting personally. As beautiful as everything was the atmosphere and the love between the two of them was truly memorable.
The piano player during the interludes was exceptional. The food outstanding and the guests were having a grand ole time. Kudos also to Kim’s sister Des’iree who helped to make everything a success. Their late mother was a showstopper who would have been extremely proud of that day.
Beautiful…
The bride was stunning! I loved the theme, colors, venue and decor. I especially liked all of the details from the monogrammed aisle runner, the crystals in the bouquet and diamond band around the cake, everything was so elegant and beautiful. The pictures captured the essence of every aspect of the ceremony and did you see those shoes? There were so many great ideas that I could get married all over again. Congratulations to the happy couple. I hope your life together is as beautiful as your wedding.
Wow! My sister was such a Beautiful Blushing Bride and our Mother would have been so elated. Kimberly had been dreaming about her wedding day for a long time, however I don’t think she would have ever imaged it would be as elegant and beautiful as it was. I’m sure if far exceeded her dreams. She was very original in incorporating Our Mother’s presence as a part of the ceremony, it was so beautiful we couldn’t even be sad. Even though I gave her grief over all that she was planning, on that day I couldn’t have been more excited and proud of her. I was stunned at the whole event! It was Elegance at it’s Best! We were both so thankful for all of our Family and Friends from New Jersey that traveled so far to be with us especially after just losing Our Father. It meant the world to us to have our Grandmother, the Matriarch present looking Gracefully Refined and we know that Our Parents would have been so proud of Our Uncle Dwayne for walking Kimberly down the isle. It was an Impressive and Elegant Occasion.
