Peyton & Androw’s Aldridge Gardens Wedding: Ethereal Elegance & Dancefloor Energy
Some wedding days feel like a perfect blend of intentional, emotional, and wildly fun—and Peyton and Androw’s September celebration at Aldridge Gardens was exactly that. From the tear-filled first look to the packed dance floor, their wedding was a true reflection of who they are as a couple: thoughtful, joyful, and ready to celebrate in style.
A Timeless Yet Modern Bridal Look
Before the big day officially began, Peyton and Androw spent the morning getting ready surrounded by their families and wedding party, sharing laughter, nerves, and quiet moments of excitement together. Soon after, it was time for their first look by the water—a truly emotional moment as they saw each other for the first time that day.
Peyton’s bridal look was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and fresh, modern style. From her lace details to her radiant confidence, she carried the kind of beauty that felt both classic and completely her own. As a Lana Del Rey fan, her soft sweetness paired with goddess-like energy felt like something right out of a dream.
Androw’s reaction during their first look said it all - their tears, laughter, and pure joy set the tone for the rest of their day.
Ceremony Among the Greenery
Peyton and Androw exchanged vows beneath the arbor at Aldridge Gardens, surrounded by lush white and green florals. Arrangements set atop clean white pillars framed the space beautifully, while the sleek black bow chair ties added a modern edge. The combination of classic garden elegance with fresh, stylish details made the ceremony feel both timeless and uniquely their own. Laughter and heartfelt vows filled the cozy space, making it a moment everyone will remember. It was one of those weddings where you could feel the love not just between the couple, but radiating through every guest in attendance.
A Celebration Full of Personal Touches
From there, guests moved into a cocktail hour and reception full of intentional (and fun!) details. Upon entering, guests signed a traditional guest book and left heartfelt voice messages in our audio guestbook—something Peyton and Androw will cherish forever. Before joining their party, the couple snuck away for a few more photos and a quiet moment together; soaking in the calm after the busy morning, and before the dance floor storm. From quiet, emotional moments to all-out celebration, their day had the best of both worlds.
A Dance Floor Like No Other
And when we say storm—we mean it!
After a lively introduction into their sweet first dance, and a bite of cake for some sugary energy, Peyton and Androw’s reception took off into one of the liveliest dance floors we’ve ever seen! There was never an empty spot on the floor—the energy just kept building with every song.
Before the dance floor went full party mode, Peyton and Androw shared a special moment with their guests during a traditional money dance, where everyone got a moment to celebrate with the couple one-on-one and share some love (and a few lucky bills) on the floor.
We mixed our usual favorites with Hispanic classics that had everyone moving, and the party never let up.
One unforgettable moment: Androw was lifted, carried around the reception, and then TOSSED into the air by his groomsmen and family, keeping their cultural tradition alive, and raising the roof. (Which we almost needed to do because he was flying HIGH!)
From start to finish, the Argote reception was a 10/10 good time—the kind of night you never want to end. Between the stunning garden setting, disco ball sparkle, and a couple who radiated joy, Peyton and Androw’s wedding was everything we love about what we do.
