An Intimate Wedding in Rustic Elegance


An intimate reception was held for a couple who chose to marry out of state and then celebrated with family in the bride's hometown. This event was all about her home and her family, so everything was designed around rustic elegance with her Midwestern roots in mind. 


 The Oak Hills Country Club had just the right ambience for our bride's celebration, featuring a spacious ballroom, lovely architecture, and plenty of seating while allowing ample opportunity for decoration.






Dessert and cocktail stations were laid out in a serpentine fashion, removing the tendency towards crowded buffet style lines, encouraging relaxed mingling and conversation.


The bride wanted the main culinary event to be focused on her grandma's homemade pies, rather than her cake. Ed LeFebvre at Cupcake Island achieved our bride's vision by thinly icing a simple three tier cake and wrapping it with burlap ribbon. This kept the spotlight on grandma's pies while the cake itself became part of the elegant rustic decor.
