We don’t want you to miss out on the sweet and stately summer wedding of Stephanie Bass and Chris Bradley! We’ve gathered our favorite photos of the day, originally featured in the most recent Weddings in Arkansas issue, as well as exclusive bonus photos you will only find here! Enjoy! {See full story in our digital edition}
The couple shared their first dance to John Legend’s “Stay With You.” “The words of the song perfectly describe our relationship and the marriage we hope to have,” says the couple.
The groom’s cake was a tribute to his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, and it bore the brotherhood’s crest.
The bride’s cake was a four-layer confection featuring strawberry, chocolate with raspberry filling, and two layers of butter cake, all topped with cream cheese icing.
Stephanie’s mother made her exquisite wedding gown. “She has made a lot of my attire for important occasions throughout my life, from homecoming court to prom dresses, so it was only right that she make my wedding dress,” says the bride.
The modern, elegant design of the Clinton Presidential Center was the perfect reception venue. “We were immediately sold on the beauty of the open space and the windows in the great hall,” says Stephanie.
“Yellow has always been my favorite color, so it was [a] must-have,” says Stephanie of the palette selection.
What a lovely occasion! We are so happy that Stephanie and Chris shared their joyful day with us. Best wishes for a happy marriage!

Want more of Katy and Parker’s romantic summer ceremony from our latest Weddings in Arkansas print issue? We’re sharing the gorgeous occasion with you here, along with exclusive bonus photos you can only find on the blog!
The bride wore a family heirloom antique tiara made of crystals and pearls.
The bride and groom rode in horse-drawn carriage from the bride’s parents’ home to their ceremony in the Calvary Baptist Church.
The couple was married beneath a curly willow chuppah woven with an abundance of peonies, hydrangeas, and roses in every shade of white and pink.
According to the bride, the couple was wed in “a beautiful, Messianic ceremony, blending our Christian faith and Jewish heritage.”
Katy’s vision for the wedding was that of a “whimsical magical fairytale,” she says, “a modern-day romantic version of Marie Antoinette.”
The bride’s cake was layered in flavors of raspberry, Italian creme, and white cake.
The groom’s cake was sculpted of chocolate tiers with a bold, black and white design and was topped with strawberries dipped in white chocolate.
