Hillside Inn Wedding in Door County | Emma & Dylan

With thirty-two of their closest loved ones, Emma and Dylan planned a southern-inspired wedding in Door County, WI.

After an intimate ceremony with a view of the water at Gordon Lodge, guests traveled by trolley to Ephraim’s most iconic waterfront property. The Hillside Inn brings a touch of elegance & charm. When paired with the lush florals and soft blue & white color palette Emma envisioned, it was such a romantic tented celebration! With the glow of strung lights above and a beautiful Door County sunset, guests enjoyed heartfelt toasts as they gathered around a long, lush table.

Emma and Dylan’s sweetness was shared in quiet moments, and we loved seeing them relax into the day with their friends and family. Here’s to a beautiful life ahead for the new Mr and Mrs!
