Ellie Sharp and Ethan Hassett have been inseparable since high school. “From the moment we met, we became instant best friends,” says Ellie. The Flower Mound natives attended Ole Miss together—a place so special to them that Ethan decided to propose in front of the school’s historic Lyceum. When it came time to plan their big day, the couple knew they wanted to pay homage to their alma mater, designating a room inspired by Ole Miss’ tailgating area, the Grove. Their May union combined a timeless white and green palette—from the decor to the bride’s showstopping gown—with fun and family time. “It was a whole weekend of blending our families together,” remembers Ethan.

Wow Factor

Although Ellie initially envisioned herself in a traditional white dress, she ultimately decided on a showstopping Monique Lhuillier gown that her wedding would be modeled after. “I wanted a gasp when I walked down the aisle,” says the bride.
