Larissa Marie Photography beautifully captured this literary-inspired wedding design, bringing its soft, romantic details to life through their timeless photography and videography.
Expertly coordinated and designed by LK Bridal Studio, bows, wildflowers, and natural textures graced every aspect of this literary-inspired celebration. Creams, pinks, and greens flowed through the day's design, reflected in each stunning stationery and signage piece. The invitation, surrounded by illustrative florals straight out of a vintage love story, set the tone, with the suite also including a details card, RSVP, framable quote, envelope, and scenic liner. Many print pieces featured torn edges, adding to the soft, gentle aesthetic.
A book wall backdrop offered a whimsical photo op at the entrance before and after the ceremony. Once inside, an interactive welcome book greeted guests and invited them to write and seal personalized notes to the couple to open on their first wedding anniversary. Custom-designed wrapped books with decorative spine elements, color-coded to meal choices, guided guests to their seats and doubled as thoughtful favors. At each table, double-layered, embossed bookmark name cards and framed table numbers awaited guests. Lastly, a framed bar sign showcased the signature cocktails, enhancing the storybook atmosphere.
Opal Market Flowers filled every corner of the celebration with enchanting floral arrangements, artfully blending soft pink and cream blooms with lush greenery for a textured and romantic look. Unique woven basket bouquets for the bridesmaids added an extra layer of charm to the whimsical scene. Every arrangement, both big and small, was thoughtfully designed to enhance the literary-inspired theme, creating a cohesive and dreamy atmosphere that felt elegant and timeless.
A flowery dusty pink gown from Vera's House of Bridals provided the perfect look for the bride. With its delicate embroidered flower detailing, plunging neckline, soft and ethereal tulle fabric, and romantic, billowing balloon sleeves, the gown was perfect for twirling, walking down the aisle, or cuddling up for a quiet moment to soak in the day.
To create a subtly bold and cohesive ensemble, DuBois Formalwear styled the groom in a complementary pink velvet jacket paired with a matching pale pink bowtie and pocket square, tan pants, and brown shoes.
Allure Artistry worked their hair and makeup magic on the bride and both bridesmaids, weaving soft, romantic textures into their hair for an effortlessly beautiful and organic look. Both bridesmaids wore braids, one styled with loose waves and the other in an updo, accessorized with delicate bows. For makeup, Allure Artistry focused on giving each of the ladies a glowing complexion, with washes of shimmer on their eyelids and a soft kiss of color on their lips to create a fresh and natural wedding day look.
From their sun-kissed meadows to the charming Event Barn and beyond, Vintage Fields provided a stunning backdrop straight out of a fairytale. Whether beneath the trees or within the barn, every corner of Vintage Fields set the stage for a celebration that captured the joy of the love story it celebrated.
The outdoor lounge area created the perfect cocktail corner, where guests could enjoy sipping on signature drinks while relaxing in cozy seating that encouraged mingling. The showstopping book wall backdrop added a fun literary touch, enhancing the celebration's enchanting atmosphere.
From the beautifully designed lounge area to the soft, inviting rugs, French dining chairs, antique brass shelving, gold flatware, accent decor, and more, Velvet Rentals helped create a timeless, stylish space that radiated romance and refinement with their unique rental pieces. The blush pink Emma Desk, a perfect vintage-inspired piece, served as the guest sign-in area before transforming into an elegant dessert display.
Event Essentials elevated the reception table with a perfect blend of classic elegance and textured warmth. Light pink velvet tablecloths created a soft, luxurious base, while natural Rustico napkins tied into charming bows added depth and texture. Classic ivory dinner and salad plates provided a refined foundation, enhancing the romantic and timeless vibe.
A stunning 4-tier white cake from Sandy Kakes stood gracefully in a "cake nest" of soft blooms, becoming a captivating centerpiece for the reception. Adorned with a monochromatic floral pattern, the cake exuded elegance and charm. Also including custom cookies and cupcakes featuring an array of delicate details from lettering to dried greenery, the dessert display was both a visual masterpiece and a delicious indulgence.
Castle Walls Wedding added a unique touch of artistry to the celebration with their hand-painted "Checkered Hills" mural, which served as the perfect backdrop for the cake and dessert displays. This serene Wisconsin landscape, painted in soft pastel hues, captured the essence of the region's beauty. The mural featured a subtle checkered pattern in the hills and stripes of farm fields, bringing the outdoors in and creating a lovely, inviting atmosphere.
