A Unique Love Story

Alison and Nate’s love story began on a cruise ship, and their wedding was a testament to their unique journey together. They celebrated with an intimate gathering, forgoing traditional wedding parties to be surrounded by their closest friends and family. A close friend officiated the ceremony, honoring the special connection that brought them together.

A Brunch to Remember

One of the most special aspects of Alison and Nate’s wedding was how it authentically reflected their personalities. Rather than the typical dinner and dancing, they chose to host brunch. The menu featured egg tacos and French toast, perfectly setting a relaxed and enjoyable tone for the day.

Fun and Games

The couple also chose to include board games in their reception, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. This entertained and connected guests while highlighting Alison and Nate’s playful and genuine personalities.


Floral Magic

We absolutely loved the florals at this wedding! Alison and Nate made a smart and economical choice by selecting bouquets from Costco. These bouquets were creatively broken up into tiny arrangements that filled vases lining the walls, creating a stunning visual impact. The thoughtful arrangement of the florals added a touch of elegance and charm to the venue.
