Mallory Michelle Washington and Blake Edward Mascolo were united in marriage at 6 p.m. July 24, 2021, at The Jefferson in Oxford. The bride’s pastor, the Rev. Daniel Dickerson, of O’Tuckolofa Baptist Church in Water Valley, performed the double-ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cayce Lane Washington of Water Valley. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Anthony and Mr. Michael Washington and the late Jean Washington, all of Water Valley.
The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Brian Mascolo of Jackson, Tennessee. He is the grandson of Mrs. Ann Bowers and the late Mr. John Bowers of Dyersburg, Tennessee, and Mrs. Carol Mascolo and the late Mr. Edward Mascolo of Franklin, Tennessee.
Given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father, the bride wore a Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner ballgown, featuring dazzling Chantilly lace, a deep-V bodice with crystal and pearl beaded embroidery and beaded straps. Ivory tulle with smoky lavender linings with glitter organza gave the ballgown skirt a stunning sparkling effect. A simple, single-tier fingertip-length veil complemented the gown.
The bride carried a beautiful hand-tied bouquet of Amelia and Arctica roses adorned with touches of white wax flower and different stems of seeded eucalyptus, along with silver dollar. To complete the bouquet, shades of green Grevillea were added.
Attending as maid of honor was the sister of the bride, Carlye Washington. Bridesmaids included Kate Mascolo, Blake Marlar Mascolo, Megan Rushing, Caroline Tullos, Amanda Poole, Leah Moore, Lauren Yarbrough and Becca Brousseau.

Music for the ceremony was provided by violinists Abbey and Gracie Swartzendruber and cellist Sarah Beth Mullen. Zac Bowers, Nic Bowers, John Bowers, Chase Smith, Brent Smith, Peyton Ferguson and J.D. Jaggers escorted wedding guests to their seats overlooking the lake. Mrs. Desha Ferguson served as the bride’s proxy. Photography was provided by Eliza Kennard Photography.
The parents of the bride hosted the
reception in the Grand Hall at The Jefferson, where guests enjoyed musical entertainment by Elite Ovations and a delectable cuisine prepared by Taylor Grocery Special Events catering.
After an evening of dancing, guests were treated to an epic fireworks celebration over the lake before a sparkler send-off to end the perfect evening. The couple left in a vintage Chevrolet Bel Air owned and driven by Mr. Frank Hyde of Water Valley, a friend of the bride’s family.
On the eve of the wedding, the bridegroom’s parents honored the couple with a rehearsal dinner in the Faulkner Room of The Jefferson.
