These are a few of my favorite things:

BUD VASE FAVORS

Jen + Will’s big day featured a bud vase escort wall, where guests searched for their name that was tied to a beautifully filled bud vase of flowers, and took it to their seat to double as table decor. Not only did the guests love getting to see which bud vase was theirs, each guest got to take their bud vase and flowers home at the end of the night. Nothing makes us sadder than wasted wedding florals, so it was amazing to see them all go home to be enjoyed!

DESSERTS FOR DAYS

I could go on and on about this dessert spread. Deco Dessert showed up with the most epic spread of desserts, from mini cupcakes, to brownies, to cookies, and the best raspberry oat bars I have ever had, there was something for everyone.

THE DRESS

If I have ever seen a dress that truly just looks like it was made for the bride, it would be this one. Jen looked absolutely spectacular in the most fairytale, off the shoulder dress ever. The full length chiffon sleeves paired with a long veil made this a really classic, but still whimsical, choice.

HONORARY CAT GUESTS

While Jen + Will’s feline friends couldn’t be there in person to celebrate their humans, they were still included in the festivities. The bar menu, featuring signature cocktails “Salem” and “Moose” giving tribute to their cats, were listed alongside portraits of the kitties waiting at home. To top it off, the bar napkins with photos of the cats, read “We can’t believe we weren’t invited!” (We wish you could have been there, Salem and Moose!)
