REAL WEDDINGS | Suzanne & Nathan
How did you two meet? We met at Syracuse University in upstate New York our Senior year at a... romantic pause.... frat party. I (Suz) intro- duced myself quickly to Nathan as I was leaving with some of my girlfriends. We bumped into each other the next night and he.. gasp... did not remember who I was! So, needless to say, I re-introduced myself and we got to know each other a bit more.
How long was your engagement? About a year and a half.
What inspired your wedding theme? Secret Garden, moss, skeleton keys, butterflies, rustic tree textures... imperfect white-washed paint, wrought iron gates... oh and did I mention moss? Note: My dear friend April built me a 7 foot x 7 foot moss wall to cover up some ugly shutters.
What inspired your wedding color pallet? Since I'm a graphic designer and a lover of color, I don't have ONE favorite color. I knew I wanted to go neutral with the bridesmaid's dresses, so I picked a few of my favorite colors that would work with the garden theme and pop off the neutral dark brown dress. Fuchsia and light orange where grounded in lime green with a few hits of dark pur- ple and white for contrast. It looked better than I could have imagined!
What was special about where you got married? Mount Echo Park is an outdoor pavilion on a hill that over- looks the Ohio River, Downtown Cincinnati, and northern Kentucky. This place had a romantic realness to it... it wasn't overly showy or overstaged. It was just “us”. Lots of green space, outdoor terrace, open air, great view... perfect!
What was behind the design of the cake? We wanted something simple, clean and classic. So, we went with a standard 3-tier cake with hits of lime green leaves, fuchsia and light orange flowers grounded by the dark brown banding at the base of each tier.
