Tim and Monique’s cozy and candlelight-flooded winter wedding was gorgeous from start to finish! Monique and Tim were married at the beautiful and light-filled St Dominic church where Monique grew up and where her mother works now. Before the ceremony, Monique shared a first look with her father and it was wonderful to see Monique and her family able to enjoy this life milestone at a church with so much meaning to them. For February, we got an unseasonably warm day in Cleveland so the bridal party enjoyed lots of outdoor photos and fresh air. Later in the evening, guests were entertained by a wandering saxophonist while enjoying cocktails and a roaring fire in the Union Club’s library. Guests were then invited upstairs for a stunning display in the ballroom. Monique and Tim wanted their wedding to feel cozy and comfortable without feeling like Christmas. Twig Florals knocked it out of the park with towering branches and hanging tealights greeting guests as they entered the space and floods of candlelight -- the head table was truly stunning! The candles and floral were nicely complemented by a wine velvet linen for the head table and beautiful gold-rimmed chargers. Each guest also got a nice treat of miniature Maker's Mark bottles. The bride works in the liquor industry, so these were the perfect favor for guests! When it was time to dance, Monique and Tim surprised all of their guests with a tradition from New Orleans. The guests had a blast waving personalized napkins and following the bride and groom around the dance floor with feathered umbrellas. The dance floor was packed all night long and Monique and Tim were constantly smiling from ear to ear!

Stephanie was SO SO SO amazing to work with and we would not have had the seamless, wonderful wedding day we could have only dreamed of without her! She made us feel like we were her only clients with the amount of attention she gave us and how quick and responsive she was with answering all of our questions, providing her thoughts and insight and working with all of our vendors. She is so on top of everything, detail-oriented and by the end of the process I felt like I could trust her to navigate me through a dark cave haha. PLEASE know we we're beyond pleased with how everything turned out, and we owe a lot of it to her!
