Describe Your Wedding Vision

My wedding vision was florals. I love flowers – all types and all colors. I knew I wanted that to be what people walked away from the wedding day talking about, all of the beautiful flowers! I also knew for sure one of our wedding colors would be purple. It has truly been my favorite color all my life. I even had them dye the color of our wedding cake to be purple on the inside. Our colors ended up being lavender and hunter green. Ryan is a huge Green Bay Packers fan and from the start said he wanted to wear a green suit. The purple dresses and the green suits complemented the flowers beautifully. The pergola we got married under was covered in a mix of flowers. It was my favorite part of the wedding day and could not have been any more beautiful!

Describe Your Wedding Day

Our wedding day was May 18, 2024, at White Hawk Country Club in Crown Point, IN. It was truly perfect! We could not have asked for better weather all weekend long. Our wedding day went so smooth from start to finish, which let us be able to just enjoy the day and take everything in. Seeing all the details come together and our vision brought to life after a year of planning is so amazing and all I could do was smile the entire day! During the whole ceremony, it felt like just Ryan and I were there and I had no nerves at all. I would describe the whole day as magical. From our entrance walking into to the reception under a tunnel of LED balloons, to our first dance feeling like we were floating through the steps, to taking sunset photos, it all felt like magic!

Your Advice to Engaged Couples

My advice to engaged couples would be to book all your vendors as soon as you can. That way you can hopefully work with who you want. It may seem like a lot to do everything big like that right away but I definitely think it is worth it. Vendors book up fast and far in advance and they really do help make sure your wedding day runs smoothly. Once you have them all booked, I would also work on any other details you can and order anything you may want for the wedding day. Then you can enjoy the rest of your engagement feeling good knowing the big things are checked off and not feel stressed. Especially once it gets close to the wedding day, you’ll be happy you got majority done way in advance. Also, this is a special time to remember, so take it all in!
