Marilyn and Nate met at a small bakery in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood. Their coffee date turned into a 5 hour long conversation, and the rest was history! They got engaged at the same bakery a year and a half later and were married in the catholic church right next door. Their historic reception venue, The Glidden House, was equally charming and only a block away from where they first met. The bride's wedding style was classic/vintage and she chose heirloom furniture pieces and linens in a few mixed floral fabrics to compliment that vibe. The bride's dad also made a small donut wall for the reception which was covered in mini beer-infused donuts made by local bakery Brewnuts. It was also really special for Nate to have his favorite funfetti groom’s cake and the couple gave favors of local, specialty handmade caramels from Hummingbird Bake Shop. Signature drinks of Moscow Mules and Raspberry Lemonade with vodka and fresh raspberries were served at the bar. Lush florals full of garden roses and cafe au lait dahlias decorated the reclaimed dining wood tables which were styled elegantly by lead planner, Lauren Hibbard. Other Details! The bride's Harriet Wilde gold leaf and floral embellished suede heels were one of our favorite bride style details. She also gifted her groom with the custom elephant cufflinks. Elephants are one of their favorite animals, and are a symbol of good luck! They had an intimate wedding and kept their wedding party really small with just a matron of honor (sister of the bride) and best man (twin brother of the groom). They had our other siblings perform readings at the ceremony.
