Cox Arboretum
It's such a beautiful time of year for engagement sessions!!!!
Who doesn’t ooh and aah when they spot a furry friend walking down the aisle with tail wagging and looking their wedding best? Dana and Cathy certainly included their dogs as a huge part of their special day. They had their niece and nephew walk two dogs down the aisle and then the Brides walked two more dogs down the aisle. I have never seen a church that was so welcoming of different lifestyles- including bringing dogs into their ceremony. Better yet, the couple owns their own dog grooming business in Dayton and also own show dogs. This was truly a dog lovers wedding!
The event was so much fun, even with good luck rain and having another fur baby at home ready to give birth. But that didn’t stop Cathy and Dana. They had a great time talking to family and friends and dancing the night away on the dance floor.

It’s all in the details for this elegant rustic wedding! With hints of plum and cranberry, these two love birds managed to turn an into an elegant, nature inspired venue for their special day, and you’ll be amazed by how it turned out.
For their wedding, Sarah and John planned a romantic, rustic affair at Cox Arboretum in Dayton Ohio. This beautiful 189-acre facility is a special place for visitors to escape among trees, shrubs, specialty gardens, mature forests, and prairies. And makes for great photographs!
The day started with a traditional ceremony held inside the lodge at the venue, in which Sarah and John exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by their families and friends. After saying “I do,” the pair whisked guests off to the Hilton Garden Inn for an unforgettable celebration.
At the reception venue the couple created a romantic oasis by decorating the reception tables with arrangements of white hydrangeas, baby’s breath and warm candlelight and rustic wooden accents and mason jars and vintage style lanterns. The venue was accented with dramatic up lighting that infused the ballroom at the Hilton with a party-ready vibe, gave the evening a fun, festive feel. And the glow sticks and light up sunglasses definitely helped to get the party started!
After a night of dancing that included an epic confetti first dance moment, the guests took home S’more party favors that were absolutely delicious! This yummy treat complemented their popcorn and cupcake/cookie dessert table which left no guest leaving with an empty stomach.
