Ever wanted to attend a Stan Hywet Wedding ceremony? Envision this: you are surrounded by the most serene Fall foliage, stone backdrops, calming water ponds, and the mansion itself.

If you ever wanted to have a wedding in Downtown Cleveland look no further than the Westin. Just to name a few reasons: there are the gorgeous ballrooms (that need little to no decor), the beautiful two story suites to get ready, plus the proximity to downtown Cleveland. You can’t beat it!

To me, hotel weddings are the equivalent to a blank canvas. You can take any ballroom and splash all the fun to make it your own. Lexi and Nick’s Hilton Fairlawn Wedding did just that. They took this big empty space and filled it full of gold, white and purple accents. Their florals had hints […]

Idyllic defines Toni and Creighton’s Lake Club Wedding to a tee. September weddings bring in a fall breeze which cannot be replicated any other time of year. The magical summer sun still hangs around. And by evening you feel the winds changing to crisp and cool. It reminds me of a Mary Poppins wind, as […]

Incredible is the word I’d use to describe Amanda and Nick’s Chicago Wedding at Loft Lucia. This entire weekend reminded me why I love traveling in the Fall. When the air gets crisp, I always feel like an adventure is afoot. Which naturally is also the feeling of a wedding day. Add in that Chicago […]
