Originally featured in The White Wren Volume 8: Little Love Stories (AND THE COVER IMAGE!), Alyssa and Nolan’s intimate Savannah wedding now unfolds in full on the blog.
With just 25 of their closest loved ones gathered around them, Alyssa and Nolan created a wedding day that felt deeply personal while still carrying the polish and beauty of a grand celebration.
The day began at First Baptist Church Savannah, where soft morning light filled the historic ceremony space as the couple exchanged vows. Alyssa wore a custom lace gown that balanced modern simplicity with timeless romance, setting the tone for the elegant black-and-white palette woven throughout the day.
Following the ceremony, guests crossed the Savannah River to The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa for an intimate dinner beneath an open-air tent. Clean lines, classic details, abundant white florals, and candlelit tables created an atmosphere that felt sophisticated without losing its warmth.
Rather than measuring the celebration by the size of the guest list, Alyssa and Nolan focused on creating a meaningful experience for the people closest to them. The result was a beautiful expression of intimate luxury – thoughtful, refined, and filled with the ease of a celebration shared among family and dear friends.
First seen in the pages of The White Wren Volume 8, their wedding is a reminder that some of the most memorable celebrations are not defined by scale, but by closeness.
“Their celebration proved that intimate luxury is not defined by scale, but by the care given to every person and every detail.”
Intimate Luxury in Savannah
Alyssa and Nolan’s celebration embraced the grandeur of Savannah while keeping the experience personal and relaxed.
The historic architecture of First Baptist Church offered a timeless setting for their vows, while the waterfront reception brought a more contemporary Southern sensibility to the evening. Against the backdrop of the Savannah River, the restrained palette and thoughtful details created a celebration that felt naturally elegant rather than overly styled.
A Modern Black-and-White Celebration
A classic black-and-white palette carried seamlessly from the ceremony into the reception.
Alyssa’s lace gown introduced a soft, romantic texture, while clean tablescapes, white florals, candlelight, and formal attire gave the evening its elevated character. Under the open-air tent, each element worked together to create a dinner experience that felt intimate, polished, and quietly luxurious.
