As seen on Pretty my Party

Nothing better shapes an epic New Year’s Eve celebration like a classic glitz and glam wedding full of opulent grandeur at one of Cleveland’s most celebrated venues – The Hyatt at the Arcade!

Working with Brynn to achieve her stunning wedding was a blast – every single detail was perfectly planned and executed to create her dream New Year’s Eve affair. Mixed metals were the décor backbone, achieved by using stunning sequined linens in gold, silver and blush as well as rich table top accessories and magnificent floral décor.

Many brides forget the importance of stationery – yet it’s always my favorite piece to really bring the entire wedding look together so I was glad Brynn felt the same! With Rebecca at Blue Envelope we worked in the theme of time by using clocks on the save the date, menus and monogram. The invitations were stunning and over the top. The place card tags tied to individual blow horns were so fun and looked amazing displayed on that beautiful, monogrammed gold table!

As guests entered the Arcade for cocktail hour, they were greeted by an elaborate ice scripture, tasty hors d’oeuvres and perfectly wrapped gifts (curated by a friend of Brynn's family) under the famous Arcade tree. Guests mingled and enjoyed the music of the strolling sax player, Dave Sterner. Much attention was put into Brynn’s tabletop décor. Specialty glassware, chargers and china adorned the glistening tables. The full, rich centerpieces literally took breath away (I heard it happen over a dozen times) and each table had its own new year’s resolution. Two stunning mirrored tables from All Occasions flanked the dance floor to add intrigue to the space. Brynn and Bryon’s sweetheart table was designed for royalty with a stunning, glimmering backdrop, and opulently draped tabletop.

It being New Years Eve, Rock The House ran a live feed throughout the evening and guests dined and danced the night away. TKO kept the dance floor packed as guests anticipated midnight. In the moments leading to the new year, champagne was passed and 2017 was greeted with the most epic confetti drop that guests and the bride and groom will not soon forget! When the night ended there had to have been a few inches of confetti on the dance floor! What a dream team of vendors, especially with Jason Crocker Photography and Candy Apple Films who perfectly captured the images and energy of the evening!

Katie and Ryan’s September wedding was a day full of love with touches from the cities they love- Cleveland and Tremont! Katie and Ryan chose St. John Cantius Catholic Church in Tremont for their ceremony that was near the home they use to live in. After the ceremony, guests made their way downtown to the Wyndham Hotel in Cleveland while Katie, Ryan, and their bridal party rode in a BVIP Limousine for pictures around the city, including the famous Cleveland sign!

As guests arrived for cocktail hour, Nate Jones from Cleveland Music Group played live on his guitar and uplighting from Rock the House made the room glow with beautiful amber lighting. Combinations of gorgeous blush and ivory centerpieces from The Budding Tree were the focal point as guests entered the ballroom. Champagne and ivory linens from Event Source draped the guest tables, while a nude sequin linen covered the cake table.  On top of the cake table was a four tier cake from A Cookie and A Cupcake, one of Katie and Ryan’s favorite places to go in Tremont! 

After dinner service, Katie and Ryan enjoyed a romantic first dance that  Kelly Crews Photography captured.  DJ Daniel Cormeier from Cleveland Music Group had guests dancing for the rest of the night. This amazing day ended with a dance floor full of guests enjoying a late night pizza snack!
