Sara Worth Mullally and Alexander Reckford grew up together in Atlanta, Georgia, where they both attended Pace Academy—and in April of 2013, he asked her to senior prom. “That moment ended up marking the beginning of everything for us,” Sara, who is the VP of brand at Hill House Home, says. “What started as a prom date became a relationship that carried us through college, years of long distance, and eventually into our first home together in New York’s West Village.”
In late August of 2024, Alexander proposed at Sara’s family’s lake house. “It was just us—which was suspicious for Alexander, as he loves any opportunity to hang with his friends and politely declined inviting them out that weekend,” Sara remembers. “He proposed during sunset cocktails with my dream ring designed by Bear Brooksbank. We called family and friends after, and had a small celebration when we got back into town the next day.”
Their wedding was just over a decade after they first met and set in their hometown of Atlanta over the first weekend in October 2025. The ceremony was held at the Cathedral of St. Philip, with a reception following at the Capital City Club.
“Both the church and the club were booked within 24 hours of me getting engaged,” Sara admits. “My parents were super excited and as their first daughter, there was no question I would be getting married at home in Atlanta. I was very involved in the process, as was my mom, who is my absolute best friend. We knew we wanted to work with local talent, many of whom we had known for years, and really tried to highlight the best aspects of the venues, which Teagrada Events and Britt Wood Designs knew super well.”
Sara’s mom has a talent for florals, and Britt, their florist, worked seamlessly with the mother-daughter team from the beginning. The core inspiration for the florals and decor was The Age of Innocence—the lush, lavish portrayal of Gilded Age New York society, overflowing with opulence, exotic fruits, and abundant flowers.
