Logan Elizabeth Dowell and Joseph Lawrence Hiatt were married Sept. 12 at First United Methodist Church in Birmingham. The Rev. Joey Elmore and Pastor James “Butch” Williams officiated at the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Andrew Balcke Dowell of Birmingham. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Thomas Hiatt of Trussville.
Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a wedding gown designed by Heidi Elnora. The dress featured a strapless, sweetheart, ruched wrapped bodice, a natural waist and a flowing organza skirt. She chose a corded Alencon lace overlay for the skirt. A dainty rhinestone belt with floral motifs accentuated her waist and she completed her look with an heirloom piece, her mother’s veil. She also wore her mother’s garter, which was made by her fraternal great grandmother. Her “garden-inspired” bouquet was a gathering of jewel roses, ranunculus, veronica, star of Bethlehem, calcynia and astrantia with assorted greenery clipped form a local Birmingham garden to complete the seasonality and texture to the arrangement.
The bride was attended by her sister, Clare Crawford Dowell of Birmingham, as maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Christel Delores Barnett, Chelsea Brooke Cagle, Andrea Nicole David, Sara Meaghan Feick and Amanda Spivey Pittman, all of Birmingham; Logan McKensie Elder of Atlanta; Lindsey Hitt Fussell of Tampa, Florida; Mandy Heard Powell of Memphis, Tennessee; Emily Hood Seeba of Marietta, Georgia; and Kathryn Norton Wren of Columbia, Maryland. The groom’s nieces, Hayden Kinley Hiatt, Summer Michelle Hiatt and McKenzie Elizabeth Hiatt of Hayden were the flower girls.
The father of the groom served as best man. Groomsmen were Thomas Reed Avant Jr., Timothy David Hamilton, Alexander Williamson Jones III, Clay Morgan Pittman and Thomas Logan Pittman, all of Birmingham; John Patrick Hiatt, brother of the groom, and William David Hamilton, both of Trussville; as well as Matthew Scott Hiatt, brother of the groom, of Hayden.
After a honeymoon trip to Napa Valley, California and San Francisco, the couple live in Birmingham.
