R + A – Omaha

Regan and Adam were married in September at the Omar Building. We connected with Regan and Adam’s personalities and design vision immediately upon meeting them. Their wedding was inspired by Regan’s refined and earthy personal style. We also wanted the design to feel playful and hint at the couple’s quirkiness and love of Star Wars.

The couple hosted an intimate ceremony in their industrial venue. A modern house structure surrounded by foliage and flowers acted as the ceremony altar. Guests were given ceremony programs wrapped with personalized vintage hankies that doubled as a wedding keepsake.

After cocktail hour, guests visited the interactive escort display, a custom-welded wall featuring laser-etched wooden tiles that rotated to reveal each guests’s table assignment. The dinner space was layered with earthy-textures: linen tablecloths with a bold geometric pattern, two-tone gold and wood flatware, matte china with an organic edge, and wooden chairs in a modern silhouette and raw finish.

The centerpieces were a collection of ivory blooms and green textured foliage built in eclectic ceramic vessels. For additional metallic accents, some of the smaller arrangements were housed in modern glass terrariums.

As a couple that favors bars and cookies over traditional wedding cake, they opted to serve dessert “charcuterie” boards for their guests to share family-style. Each sweet was carefully selected and styled to resemble a cheese wedge, lavosh, or other items found on a traditional charcuterie display. Guests were later surprised with a late-night treat of mini ice cream sandwiches made by Coneflower Creamery, a local hot spot frequented by the couple.

After toasts and spotlight dances, we handed out light sabers to each guest (a special request from the groom), which made the packed dance floor even more lively and memorable.

Liz + Sean

Liz and Sean’s wedding design was influenced by the natural stone and European-inspired architecture incorporated throughout the courtyard dining space at The Magnolia Hotel. A color palette of soft taupes, warm ivories, various shades of mauve, and accents of gold and rose gold was paired with a variety of textures with Old World references and romantic qualities: stone, handmade paper, velvet, organic-styled florals, and intimate lighting.

We helped Liz select bridesmaid gowns in both dusty blush and cinnamon rose. The female attendants wore various dress styles which added visual interest to the wedding party photos and ceremony lineup. The groomsmen (which included Sean’s FIVE brothers) wore blue suits for a fresh take on traditional menswear.

The stationery, featuring warm grey text pressed into thick hand-torn paper, provided a sense of tactile elegance while the simplistic layout and typography added modernity to the traditional printing techniques. A blush and gold marble pattern, another nod to the European design inspiration, was incorporated into both the invitation envelope liner and the tiered wedding cake.

We designed the dining space to feel intimate and welcoming. Long dining tables promoted lively conversation while string lights adorned with green vines created a canopy of light and life above the wedding guests. The tables were draped with ivory linens with a brocade velvet pattern. The table flowers brought the rich color palette to the neutral dining area. The centerpieces were arranged in an organic/earthy style. Lush blooms were artfully arranged in weathered ceramic pots. Vineyard chairs added to the organic quality of the dining tables. The place settings featured taupe lace chargers, rose gold flatware, and deckled menus. Truffles, made by the mother of the bride, were packaged as favors and place cards for the guests.

After dinner, guests were treated to wedding cake made with spiced autumn squash as well as ice cream sundaes featuring a scoop of His and Hers flavors.

Steph + Tom

Steph and Tom had a very clear vision of what they wanted for their wedding day. It was important for us to translate their refined, but effortless personal style into their wedding day design. The couple was married over Labor Day Weekend. Their ceremony and reception took place outside in The Holland’s courtyard. A major emphasis during the reception was on the food and drink, so an approachable but elegant menu was developed with wine pairings. We created a simple but organic reception space for guests to dine under twinkle lights.

Kaitlin + Matt

Kaitlin and Matt were married in mid-June. The couple chose Lauritzen Gardens to host their reception, so we used the venue’s lush botanical setting as the main inspiration for their wedding. Once Kaitlin shared a photo of her sleek wedding gown with us, we knew we needed to add a modern and sophisticated twist to their garden-inspired wedding. We used a pressed flower motif to add a bold graphic element to the stationery suite. Real pressed flowers were attached to the ceremony programs, and champagne-flavored lollipops with edible flowers adorned their modern escort display. In lieu of cake, guests enjoyed various flavored cheesecakes to enjoy while dancing under the glowing lights strung across the Floral Display Hall.

Quinn + Patrick

Quinn and Patrick’s wedding is one we will surely never forget. Quinn has impeccable style, and when she mentioned she wanted her wedding design to inspired by Kelly Wearstler, her favorite interior designer, we were immediately on board. The celebration was centered on a classic black and white color palette, and in true Kelly Wearstler style, we mixed in a collection of bold patterns accented with mixed metallics. We played with textures – from black liquid-smooth place cards to gold spiked “sea urchins” nestled among each centerpiece filled with ruffle-y spring blooms. The result was a wedding that felt more like an intimate dinner party rather than a buttoned-up reception. The celebration was warm and welcoming, and most importantly, it was focused on a vivacious couple that is so clearly meant to be together.

Kary + Paul

It was clear from our first meeting that Kary and Paul wanted a unique and energy-filled wedding. Their celebration took placed at The Diamond Room nestled in downtown Omaha. The couple wanted the ceremony to feel relaxed and intimate, so champagne was passed to guests as they arrived. Kary and Paul’s three daughters highlighted the ceremony as they walked down the aisle together and stood at the boxwood altar with their parents.

Paul wanted the reception to feel interactive and sophisticated, so we turned the reception venue into a space that felt more like a glamorous club with white draping to soften the industrial features of the space. We incorporated a mixture of soft seating, high tops, and smaller sit-down tables to encourage guests to get out of their seats and explore the food stations, whiskey tasting bar, and dance floor.

Gatsby + David

Gatsby and David were married at a private residence just outside of Omaha. The couple imagined an intimate ceremony and alfresco reception under the stars.

The ceremony took place on the south side of the property. The wedding party processed through the trees and up to the altar area marked by a massive oak tree. In lieu of a flower girl, Gatsby’s grandmother tossed colorful flower petals along the natural aisle before the bride processed to the altar. Due to rain predictions, we covered the dinner area with a clear-top tent, so guests could comfortably enjoy their family-style meal. Ice cream sandwiches made with artisan gelato and Goldenrod Pastries cookies were served for dessert. Guests ended the reception by dancing to live music to celebrate the newly married couple.
