Lindsey-Clarke wed in vintage ceremony at Peacewood
Jennifer Katherine
Lindsey and Hill Edwin
Clarke III were united
in marriage on Saturday,
May 21, 2011, at 5
p.m. at Peacewood, the
antebellum home of
Bill and B.J. deGolian
of Buckhead in Atlanta.
The Rev. Ronny Lindsey,
father of the bride,
officiated the ceremony.
The porch was
decorated with swagged
peach and light seafoam
colored moiré ribbon
and ivory tulle and
hydrangea and rose
wreaths. The walkway
was lined with shepherds
hooks that held the same
ribbon and tulle swagged
and hanging flower vases
with roses, Gerber daisies
and baby's breath.
The bride is the
daughter of the Rev.
Ronny and Patti Lindsey
of Washington. She
is the granddaughter
of Wilma Bunch and
George Bunch and the
late Jenny Ruth Lindsey
and Richard Lindsey, all
of Washington.
The groom is the son
of Michael Clarke of
Gray, Ga., and Malise
Clarke of Macon, Ga.
He is the grandson
of Jackie Colbert and
Harry Colbert, both of
Round Oak, Ga., and
Robert Clarke Sr. and
the late Ann Clarke of
Gray, Ga.
Maid of honor was
Elli Lindsey, sister of the
bride, of Washington.
She wore a vintage
(1950s) tulle peach prom
dress. The bridesmaid
was Meg Kelly of
Philadelphia, Pa., best
friend of the bride. She
wore a light seafoam
vintage (1950s) tulle
prom dress and carried
a bouquet of peach
English roses, white
peonies and rice flowers.
Honorary bridesmaids
(ladies who helped but
didn't participate in the
wedding) were Martina
Radic of Charleston,
S.C., bride's brother's
girlfriend; and Ivey
Lindsey of Cleveland,
Ga., cousin of the bride.
Flower girls were Willow
and Annalise Williams
of Macon, nieces of the
groom. They wore light
peachy pink dresses with
ivory lace overlay.
The groom chose his
father, Michael Clarke,
as his best man. He wore
a black tuxedo with teal
vest and tie.
The bride arrived at the
ceremony in an original
Model A Ford driven
by her great-uncle, Chan
Drake. The car belongs
to Mr. Drake and his
wife, Phyllis. As the bride
walked down the aisle
"Make You Feel My
Love" by Bob Dylan,
and "The Luckiest" by
Ben Folds were sung.
She was given in
marriage by her parents,
the Rev. Ronny and Ruth
Lindsey.
The bride was lovely
in a ivory gold, duchess
satin Casablanca dress. It
was strapless with a slight
sweetheart neckline and
fully embroidered and
hand beaded bodice.
The ballgown skirt had a
cathedral length trail that
was embroidered and
hand beaded in the same
pattern as the bodice.
Her cathedral length veil
was trimmed in a gold
stitch with small crystals
sewn around the edge. It
was topped off with her
Maria Elena headpiece
in gold with rhinestones
and pearls. She carried a
bouquet of peach Juliet
David Austin English
roses, white peonies, and
rice flower. The stems
were wrapped in peach
moire ribbon and pinned
with vintage pearl pins.
The bride wore two
items of sentimental
value; a Victorian rose
gold locket given to her
mother when she was
a child and a ring that
belonged to her paternal
grandmother, Jenny
Ruth Lindsey.
Following the
ceremony, a reception
was held at the
Fitzpatrick Hotel
Ballroom in Washington.
The ballroom was
decorated to match the
wedding flowers. The
cake was centered in the
ballroom and its table
was adorned with vintage
linen, given to the bride
by Mrs. Bunny Gunby. It
belonged to her mother.
The cake was four tiers
of alternating colors
of peach and seafoam
and was decorated with
white piping to resemble
wedgewood china. The
tables were adorned with
depression pink glasses
and vintage plates.
Genevieve Coe, harpist,
provided the music.
After a honeymoon
to Edisto Island, the
couple is residing in
Washington. They are
planning a trip to Italy
in the future.
