Erica & Nick

I Love You More Than Ohio State Loves Football...

There may not be a more hardcore fan base in the BIG 10 conference than that of the Ohio State Buckeyes. From the lovable mascot Brutus to “Dotting the I”, tradition runs deep in Ohio.  Erica and Nick are no exception they bleed scarlet and grey like the rest of us and decided to showcase their love for OSU football on their BIG DAY!

Just like the OSU band, aka “The Best Damn Band in the Land” this couple most definitely had “the best damn wedding” thus far.  Plus did I mention, Erica and Nick are the most amazing people on the planet!

Erica and her deep love and obsession for Etsy and Pinterest was apparent throughout the ceremony and the reception. From   customized EVERYTHING..... to napkins, cups, stir sticks, to TONS of signage, to charger plates, to customized Coke bottles, to matching Kimonos for her girls, a classic car, and a vintage camper photo booth. Lastly a hay bale monogrammed with flowers by my friends at Floral V Designs!  They thought of EVERYTHING and their fantastic wedding planners were instrumental in making it all come together and run perfectly smooth!  The girls at Pink with Envy make my life so easy!

Before the wedding they buried a bottle of whiskey on the venue grounds for good luck!  Per Southern tradition, they had to dig it back up on their wedding day!

Even though this wedding didn’t take place at The Shoe in Columbus, Ohio (ohhh, but the engagement session did-click here) the venue of Canopy Creek was a perfect backdrop to this elegant but amazingly fun affair.  

From all the amazing details (Brutus head hiding on back of cake, Grooms Cake of the Ohio State Stadium) to the heartfelt vows with tons of OSU football stats incorporated into them.  LOVE!  

O-H-I-O!!!!  GO BUCKS!!!

Brya & Tyler Wedding

TRULY MADLY DEEPLY-Fun and vibrant memories of Byra and Tyler tying the knot were made and captured at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio. With a color palette of bright pink, purple and turquoise blue, this hotel wedding reflected all the great things a picture perfect spring wedding has to offer.

The fun and bright colors of the day (which reminded me of a pair of LA Gear high-tops I had back in the day), was a bit unexpected but truly beautiful.  Turquoise radiates peace and tranquility with uplifting energy. It is one of the most brilliant colors, heightening your sense of creativity. The only thing that makes this color even more amazing is its perfect partner, the color pink and its partner in crime purple. I am really in love this color combination!

The bride’s classically stunning lace wedding dress from a small boutique, Georgia's Bridal, in Hillsboro was elegantly subtle allowing her bridal beauty to shine through out her special day.  She looked absolutely stunning!

Byra’s and Tyler’s BEST DAY EVER continued after the nuptials into the night with tons of yummy food, dancing and a photo booth with fun props.  As photo booths are fast becoming modern wedding must-have this one was handmade by a wedding guests. They’re a great way to entertain family and friends during your reception and they definitely inspire spontaneity and fun. The best part about opting for a wedding photo booth is that everyone will go home with a fabulous keepsake, which will serve as a reminder of your special day. It’s no wonder many couples have chosen to include wedding photo booths in their festivities.

Sarah & John Wedding

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.
