chris & megan || real wedding

I was blessed with being the maid of honor in a wedding recently.  A role that not only comes with responsibility, but excitement at being beside the bride every step of the way.  I had wedding jitters all over again.

Her vision was simple and modern, with a few eclectic details.
Plum, charcoal and pops of lime.
I kept telling her it was a 'modern 40's glam' wedding.


Chris & Megan's fairytale day took place at Windows on the River in downtown Cleveland.  An old powerhouse converted into a beautiful industrial room with lofty ceilings and walls of glass.


 The cake was from Wild flour Bakery in Rocky River and Lacey Claire Designs created the striking card box.


I loved that she let each bridesmaid choose a dress style that flattered their body type.  Such a thoughtful way to ensure that everyone feels glamorous in their dress.

The groomsmen wore suits purchased at Macy's in lei of renting.  Instead of spending over $100 on a one-day rental, each groomsmen spent $215 on a classic black suit that is sure to have a long lifespan.

















Each detail was so reminescent of the bride's style, I loved her eye for detail in simple things like scattering a few zebra prints in the table runners to create an edgier feel in the industrial setting.



Beautiful.  Simply Beautiful.
