Emily and Sven celebrated their love with a heartfelt wedding at the bride’s childhood home, beautifully nestled by Lake Michigan. Summers in Wisconsin hold a special place in Emily’s heart, and the sentimental location inspired every aspect of their celebration.
To honor Emily’s cherished memories, we recreated the floral print from her childhood bedroom curtains as a unique vellum wrap for the invitation suite. This thoughtful detail set the tone for a day filled with warmth and nostalgia.
The garden party theme carried through the event with custom fabric signs, including one for the Order of Events, providing guests with an illustrative guide to the day. We also had the pleasure of designing the dance floor, which became the focal point for an unforgettable evening. These personal touches combined with delicate paper goods created an atmosphere that reflected the couple’s story and love for family and tradition.
