Katie + Andrew

 

I met Katie while planning her best friend Kait's weddings a few years ago. These two girls are thick as thieves and both such amazing humans. When Katie emailed me telling me she had gotten engaged I was beyond excited for her and honestly couldn't wait to start wedding planning. I met Andrew soon after and together these two are the best. Just all around genuine and caring people!

We dove in and booked First Presbyterian Church to say heartfelt I Do's followed by a fun reception at Loft at 8th Avenue. The church had such a gorgeous interior that we kept things simple by adding some floral touches and then let the rest of the space speak for itself and its natural beauty!

We worked with Swoon Florals to create candle lit tables with lush greenery to keep the tables classic and thoughtful—which really sums up Katie and Andrew’s style. I loved how the simplistic elegance of this look turned out. It was such a treat to watch their family and friends celebrate the two of them! 

Paradox kept the dance floor full all night long, getting guests to work up an appetite for the late night snacks and sparkler send off! 

Thanks to the amazing Olivia Strohm for capturing these gorgeous pictures. What a day and so glad we could be apart of it all!

XOXO, Elizabeth

Not only was Elizabeth on top of every email and question (all while having her first baby – WOW!), she was honest and caring at every step. From opinions on wedding dresses to figuring out a budget mishap, she was always there with an expert opinion. All of the vendors she recommended were top notch and every meeting was well planned and went smoothly. On our wedding day we had countless people comment on how organized and flawless the day felt. If there was any kind of issue on our wedding day we wouldn’t have known because Elizabeth instantly took care of it all. Working with Bridal Bliss is an investment but is so worth every penny – I could not recommend them more.
