Located in Kentwood, Louisiana, The
White Magnolia is owned and operated by
mother-daughter team, Janet Henderson
Cagley and Callie Richardson.
As Callie was searching for the perfect venue for
her own 2016 wedding, she couldn’t find just what
she had envisioned. Instead of settling for options
then available, Callie and Janet built her vision
on their family owned horse and cattle farm.
Soon after the wedding, Callie’s husband
built 10 guest cottages on the property where
couples and their families and friends can
stay on-site during wedding festivities.
The White Magnolia Chapel is the
latest addition to the property.

(Right) Camellia Memories designer Megan
Kattengell created this magnolia monogram
invitation suite with a variety of paper
textures to bring visual interest. One of
our favorites is the deckled-edge, eco-
friendly seed paper used for the Information
card. After the wedding, guests can “plant”
the card to grow beautiful wildflowers.
(Below) Kattengell created vow books to match
the invitation suite design printed on deckled-
edge paper and tied with fringe chiffon ribbon.

For the ceremony, Glenda’s Flowers &
Gifts created a whimsical altar backdrop
with vines climbing the White Magnolia
Chapel’s shiplap walls and draping from
the chandeliers. Flowers overflow from the
central arch window and low arrangements
of varying heights create a lush setting.
Glo Events’ clear cluster candelabras with
white tapers complement the design.
At the end of the aisle, the monogram
from the invitation suite by Camellia
Memories is enlarged and pinned to
Peony & Petunia’s intricate white frame
corkboard with delicate lace backing.
After the ceremony, the flowers and
candelabra decorate the newlyweds’
sweetheart table. styled by Glo Events. Glo
Events owner, Chloé Tassin Potter, chose
the white and gold “Gabrielle” overlay from
Nüage Designs’ Ethereal Collection to
add dimension and texture to the table.
Unspeakable Joy Luxe Rentals’ White
Scalloped Charger Plates, Classic
White Fine China and Champagne
Coupes complete the table setting.

Glo Events owner, Chloé Tassin Potter, styled
this reception table on The White Magnolia’s
beautiful covered porch overlooking the
chapel and the property’s scenic fields.
A runner of baby’s breath, roses and greenery
by Glenda’s Flowers & Gifts graces the
center of the long, banquet style table.
The White Magnolia’s natural wood cross-
back chairs provide seating and Nüage
Designs’ the “Gabrielle” overlay provides
an elegant backdrop for the table decor.
Nestled in the flowers are tall taper candles
and votives from Glo Events’ collection.
At each seat, a deckled-edge menu with
velum name wrap by Camellia Memories sits
atop Unspeakable Joy Luxe Rentals’ White
Scalloped Charger Plates and Classic White
Fine China. Unspeakable Joy Luxe Rentals’
White and Gold Flatware and piece from their
drinkware collection complete the table setting.

One of our favorite new
trends is the champagne
tower! Here, Ethan pours
from a bottle of Veuve
Clicquot hand painted with
the same monogram design
as the invitation suite, into
a tower of Unspeakable
Joy Luxe Rentals’
Champagne Coupes.
The three tier, all
white wedding cake by
Kimbla’s Cakes features
handmade white sugar
flowers and dramatic
shimmering sugar “sails”
and sits atop a could
of baby’s breath.
