Grain Exchange Milwaukee Wedding | Vanessa & Sean

Vanessa & Sean’s wedding was highly anticipated by everyone involved!! Together with Janelle from Evenement Planning, Vanessa dreamed up a glamorous, grand celebration and the Grain Exchange in Milwaukee.

Their wedding day was filled with thoughtful details and touches – like the bowtie and pocket square Vanessa surprised Sean with, that was made with his late mother’s wedding dress fabric. Seeing him open such a special gift with his brother and dad was such a powerful moment and it really set the tone for a heartfelt, beautiful celebration!

After getting ready, Vanessa was whisked away to their ceremony at Old St. Mary’s Church! The Grain Exchange awaited everyone, where they enjoyed a reception filled with intermittent dance breaks. It went a little something like this – grand entrance, dance party, welcome toast, dance party, first course, dance party… you get the idea! :) This brought all of their guests crashing onto the dance floor each time, and was so much fun to be part of! ENERGY continued to fill the room all evening, and we couldn’t be happier for newlyweds Vanessa & Sean!

Grain Exchange Fall Milwaukee Wedding | Jenny & Skyler

Before their wedding day, Jenny & Skyler made a trip up to visit us at our studio and we had the best time chatting all things wedding with them!! They have such great energy, and we loved the mindset they have surrounding their wedding. In addition to their love and marriage, the two biggest focuses of their planning were family and food – our kind of people! Together, they planned a day that loved one every one of their guests and treated everyone to a beautiful & delicious celebration at the Grain Exchange.

Jenny and Skyler also incorporated special touches throughout their wedding day –– Jenny’s mom was her Matron of Honor, and Skyler honored his Filipino heritage by wearing a traditional Hawaiian “Maile lei” draped over his shoulders. Following their heartfelt ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while Jenny and Skyler had portraits with their loved ones. Guests were then invited back into the reception space which had been meticulously transformed into a classic celebration with soft florals and the glow of countless candles! The room was soon filled with laughter, delicious food coming out course after course, and so many sweet moments shared between Jenny and Skyler!

We are so thankful to have been part of this wonderful couple’s celebration and absolutely loved getting to know them and their families!
