Mackenzie & William Donnell
11.2.24
Mackenzie and William toured several venues for their November wedding, but once they saw Mint Museum Randolph they were sold. “The backdrop of gorgeous trees with changing leaves and the wide open spaces where we could hold all the parts of the wedding … were just what we had been looking for,” says Mackenzie. The couple wanted to use color and fall decor in their celebration, but in a nontraditional way. Planner Madison Moseley chose a ginkgo leaf as a primary element, contrasting the golden yellow autumn leaves with rich black accents. For the ceremony, custom wood arches framed the aisle. “I had wanted it to feel like a church outside, and I loved the intimate look and feel,” Mackenzie says.
Incorporating family details was also important to the couple, both Houston natives who were in the same fifth-grade class. Mackenzie’s bouquet was wrapped with a sash displaying the names and wedding dates of her great-grandparents, grandparents and parents. She chose music for the ceremony that had been used in her parents’ or William’s parents’ weddings. William’s godfather married the couple.
“Since neither of us are originally from Charlotte, it was especially meaningful to have all of our friends and family travel in from out of town,” Mackenzie says. “Our wedding was incredibly personal, which was what we wanted.”
