Kim and Cody’s Stylish Wedding Day | Boerner Botanical Gardens Outdoor Ceremony

Cody and Kim had a fantastic late summer day for their outdoor wedding ceremony at Boerner Botanical Gardens! They visited there early on in their relationship and always thought it was a beautiful place that held special meaning for them.

They are such a stylish duo with Kim rocking their strawberry attire and Cody in his emerald green suit, and their wedding party of groomsmen and "babes" also looked fab. Their wedding party was complete with their bubble girl who did such a great job and was all smiles!

Heide and Ryan’s Milwaukee Wedding | Mitchell Park Domes

Heide and Ryan are in love with everything vintage and mid-century, so they love the history and look of the Mitchell Park Domes where they chose to have both their wedding ceremony and reception. They did a great job of integrating colors and design aesthetics that worked well with the venue and with their own personal touches!

Heide said she loves so many things about Ryan. "He is one of the most talented and creative people that I know. I'm always fascinated with all of the wonderful creative projects he comes up with. I've never found someone that has the perfect blend of liking the same things that I like. He also has a great sense of humor!"

M and Sara’s Intimate Fond du Lac Wedding

M and Sara have just the sweetest proposal story! M had a friend take pictures of them posing with a little whiteboard saying, "Will," "You," "Marry," and, "Me?" and was proposing with the ring in the "Marry" photo. They then used these as each of the four suits in a custom deck of cards. M stacked the deck during a game of cribbage while they were on a picnic by Lake Winnebago, and when Sara looked at her hand and saw the proposal, M pulled out the ring and got down on one knee. And full circle, since the two of them got engaged by Lake WInnebago, that's where they decided to have their wedding!
