Shanti + Naveen’s Four Day Wedding Celebration at The Westin

After months of planning and anticipation, the sentiment we hear over and over from our couples is they wish their wedding festivities had lasted longer. The time spent with the people you love most in the world gathered to celebrate one of the most important days of your life seems to be over before anyone has time to really relish the experience. Shanti + Naveen’s traditional Indian wedding celebration spanned four days at The Westin in downtown Cincinnati. After four days of parties and rituals, the hotel filled with their most dear family and friends felt a little like home.

Molly + Ted’s Pinecroft at Crosley Estate Wedding Celebration

I tried my best to make sure that when people attended my wedding, they immediately said to themselves, “Yeah. Molly totally planned this!” Everything from the colors, blush pink and gold, to the floral centerpieces, first dance choice (Beauty and the Beast because I’m a Disney FANATIC) and quirky escort cards (we had gold animals attached to each) screamed Molly!

Gina + Scott’s Blush and Gold Wedding Celebration

The soft light of Gina + Scott’s early March wedding added a perfect brilliance to the celebration that started at St. Xavier Church followed by a reception downtown Cincinnati at the Hilton Netherland Plaza Hall of Mirrors.

Elise + Elijah's Summer Wedding Reception at Newport Aquarium

Which best describes you?

Diamonds or Pearls - Diamonds. But pearls are necessary Rustic or Urban - Urban, with a smidge of rustic to shake it up

Katie + Paul’s Wedding Day at Glendale Lyceum

Katie and Paul's wedding was an elegant and simple celebration at the historic Glendale Lyceum, a venue often described as one of Cincinnati's "hidden gems". Katie loves the color blue which was tied into the florals, stationery, and reception decor seamlessly. We love the lush floral ceremony arch which was brilliant in the sunny room where the ceremony took place. The day was captured by Leppert Photography.

Courtney + Kevin's Cincinnati Ault Park Wedding Day

Courtney + Kevin could not have picked a more perfect June day to gather friends and family for their wedding. Vows were exchanged at St. Mary's in Hyde Park followed by an outdoor celebration at Ault Park. Billowy draping and strung cafe lights hovered over long family style tables covered in romantic florals and fabrics. Courtney was radiant in her gown surrounded by her beautiful bridesmaids. The day was captured by Ben Elsass Photography.

Ashley + Patrick's Blush & Gold Wedding

Ashley + Patrick's wedding day was an elegant, light filled day of celebration. With thoughtful details, from armfuls of peach rose petals lining the edges of the staircase that Ashley descended to the darling portrait "Charlie" cookies of the couple's fur baby. Ashley's warm summer palette of gold, blush, and peach was seamlessly incorporated into the bridesmaids gowns, invitation suite, and florals. The day was captured by Leppert Photography.

Allison + Paul’s Cincinnati Wedding with Elegant Gold Invitation

Tell us a little about you and Paul.

Paul and I have been together for about four years now (and married for two months :)). We both grew up in Northern Kentucky and attended the University of Kentucky. I am a 1st-grade teacher at Latonia Elementary in Covington, Kentucky, and Paul is an Underwriter at Great American Insurance Group. Paul is a huge sports fan (UK basketball, Notre Dame Football, St. Louis Cardinals... to name a few) so we travel all over to see these teams play. We are both very family-oriented and love to spend time with friends and family. We are waiting for our Chocolate Lab, Yadi, to be born to add to our family :)

Meaghan + Matt’s Cincinnati Country Club Celebration

Meaghan + Matt’s October wedding was all radiance with a measure of the timeless. Vows were exchanged in St. Francis de Sales Church, one of Cincinnati’s most beautiful and historic buildings. The festivities followed at Cincinnati Country Club where the grounds were set for croquet and corn hole with a personal touch.

Kara + Andrew's Belle Event Center Wedding

Cupid himself could not have picked a better pair! We love the story of Kara + Andrew's introduction, an instant connection between two wonderful individuals. We love how Kara incorporated her interest in the architecture and history of a space into her choice of reception venue and played one of her grandmother's favorite songs which happens to be a Christmas song at the reception! The spontaneous stop at the blue house adds a touch of whimsy and a great memory to a day full of them
