“We live in downtown Cleveland so we wanted our guests to experience the city that we love so much! Our guests stayed at the Renaissance Hotel so, excluding the ceremony, all wedding events were within walking distance! We had a beautiful welcome reception for our friends and family following our rehearsal at D’Vine wine bar. Justin [photographer] also incorporated the places in Cleveland that we love into our engagement and wedding photos. Living in the flats, we had many shots taken on the beautiful bridges of the Cleveland Flats.”
My something old was my sister’s veil, which she wore when she was married in Antigua. My something blue was my blue Badgeley Mischka shoes! My father presented me with a beautiful diamond bracelet on my wedding day, which I wore for the ceremony and reception.
We go to the West Side Market every Saturday so we had our post-wedding photos taken on the beautiful, sunny afternoon.
One of our first dates was at the English Oak room for a film festival opening event, so when we got engaged, we immediately agreed to have our reception there. The room is a historical site for Cleveland and we loved the dark, romantic mood.
