Katherine, who’s an interior designer, had a blast planning and designing her own wedding! Incorporating ideas from art deco and The Great Gatsby, Katherine and Nick’s glamorous wedding at the Sheraton Columbus Hotel at Capitol Square was an unforgettable event! The bride wore a sophisticated laced gown, which collaborated perfectly with the soft-plum bridesmaid dresses and the deep, richly colored florals. The talented Jessica Love Photography captured the beautiful moments shared by the new husband and wife.

The Couple:

Katherine and Nick

The Wedding:

Sheraton Columbus Hotel at Capitol Square , Columbus, Ohio

The Inspiration:

I was inspired by the art deco style. I wanted to create a “Gatsby-esque” party. As an interior designer, I had a lot of fun designing and planning my own wedding!

The Moments:

It’s hard to pick just one moment, but probably dancing with friends and family at our reception. It was so fun to see everyone we love together having such a great time.

The Couple Recommends:

Our photographer, Jessica Love, was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and was very efficient with the time she had to capture photos!

Classy, glamorous, and sophisticated have never been more appropriate words for a celebration as they are for Christine and Benjamin’s Four Seasons wedding in Seattle. With a slight vintage flair, the black and gold wedding designed by The Invisible Hostess included modern touches from florals to fashion. We love that the couple opted out of traditions that didn’t feel right, and instead focused on throwing a fun party for their friends to enjoy with French 75s in hand. The bride’s signature cocktail was as pretty as it was delicious with a sparkly drink stirrer peeking out!

I love old hollywood beauty, and wanted a classic but glam look for my wedding day. My dress was a custom Sarah Seven gown from The Dress Theory, which I loved. I loved that it wasn’t big or sweeping or complicated. For hair and make-up I wanted something that felt like me, but multiplied by ten. My earrings were dainty and I loved my gold sequin Kate Spade pumps poking out from the bottom of my dress.

We wanted to make things as easy as possibly for our wedding party, so they all just choose their own black dresses and suits. I loved how it all came together so organically, and not overly-coordinated.

The ceremony was my favorite part of all of our festivities. I was nervous about standing up in front of everyone, exchanging vows and reading letters we had written each other. But it ended up feeling so intimate, just the two of sharing a magical little moment before the party started.

For us, we wanted our wedding to just feel like a big party. We wanted things to feel elevated, yet fun, where our guests would walk away with amazing memories. We stuck with some of the more traditional aspects of a wedding – the first dance, cutting the cake, etc. and moved away from other things that just weren’t important to us — father/daughter, mother/son dances, tossing the bouquet, and the like.

Our colors were black, white and gold. Simple, classy and perfect for a winter wedding. We wanted every aspect of our wedding to exude classy and fun. We also wanted to stick with design choices that won’t ever feel dated (i.e. the classic paisley bridesmaid dress!). Instead, we opted for classic colors, looks and floral choices, all of which complemented a large winter ballroom wedding.

Our signature cocktails were also a hit – HIS: an Old Fashioned, HERS: French 75. We served these throughout the night with sparkly pom pom drink stirrers and seeing them just brought me so much joy!

There ain’t no party like a Gatsby party, and Kate and Adam’s 1920s inspired wedding at The Carolina Inn certainly proved that true! Photographers Josh and Shelley of Hartman Outdoor Photography were on-scene capturing every sweet moment of the lavish affair, from the black-and-white-balloon first look to the handcrafted, Wes Anderson inspired bunny and fox cake toppers. The entire day was glamorous, and like a scene straight out of The Great Gatsby, Kate and Adam even took a glamorous ride around town in an ivory Excalibur while sipping on some champagne.

My wedding band was my own art deco inspired design, made by Scott Fisher of Diamonds Direct. My bracelet and earrings were by Jenny Packham, and wedding dress was from the Blue Willow collection by Anne Barge. I loved the little details of the dress that made it so unique- how one side of the skirt was draped, and the subtle striped pattern of the fabric.

The bridesmaids wore Jenny Yoo’s “Annabelle” dress in shadow gray. The groomsmen, in true Gatsby fashion, wore black tuxedos and black and white spectator shoes. Adam also wore a bow tie made of guinea feathers from Brackish Bow Ties, and his wedding band was a unique creation of wood, antler, and rose gold.

One big thing that made our ceremony personal was having Adam’s grandfather officiate it. We also included the Irish tradition of handfasting, as we both have Irish bloodlines.

We both agree that one of our favorite parts of the night was the car ride right after the ceremony. We had this beautiful Excalibur waiting outside the ceremony site to take us on a ride around town. We drove with the top down drinking champagne, which I’m pretty sure was illegal, but it felt so glamorous. It all felt like a scene out of the Great Gatsby.

I am an artist, so I hand made our cake toppers as a bunny and fox (Wes Anderson inspired, of course!) because anyone who knows us knows that is how I have drawn us since we first started dating. Together we also brewed our own beer as wedding favors and made soap as wedding gifts for our wedding party, as well as leather wallets that Adam crafted.

My second dress was by Tadashi Shoji. I wanted something with a vintage flare and great movement for dancing. My favorite part of that dress was the beading that created a line of separation down the middle of the bust and across the waist.
