From Clary Pfeiffer...I'm submitting a gorgeous Midwest Wedding with soft fall pastels and gorgeous flowers. It's really beautiful with just enough warmth to go with the season without being too "fall". Below is the information from the bride and groom.
From The Bride...When Tom and I started looking for a venue all we knew is that we wanted something a little different. After visiting quite a few places, we found ourselves walking through the doors at Missouri History Museum. When we left, Tom and I both looked at each other and without saying anything, knew that it was where we would say our "I do's". The building holds a lot of history, both literally and figuratively. Constructed in 1927, the Byzantine-style structure was used as home to the United Hebrew Congregation until it was bought by the Missouri Historical Society in 1989. It's a true mix of classic and contemporary architecture which greatly appealed to our quirky tastes. After the venue, the first person I contacted was Clary Pfeiffer of Clary Photo. I knew that, after the wedding, all I would have left to take with me were the photography and our memories. I was absolutely thrilled to learn that she was available. I knew that with Clary behind the camera, our wedding was going to look stunning.
The striking Museum was the perfect backdrop to our event, which we filled with timeless and personal details to match. Overgrown flowers spilled over pieces of silver from antique store finds and my colleague's private collection, brightening up the entire space. A quartet filled the atrium with both classic and contemporary tunes. Trays filled with colorful d'oeuvres and cocktails. Still, we managed to fit in many personal touches to the day - from the invitations I designed to the calligraphy that I practiced for weeks to perfect and even the bridesmaid dresses from the girl's own closets, matching the desire for our individuality to shine through. Every part of the day went seamlessly. It truly was a dream and I can't wait to see what the rest of our lives has in store for us!
Tom and I had known each other for a long time before we began dating. We grew up in the same neighborhood but did not meet until we were introduced by a mutual friend. We were only 12 at the time and were interested in many things, but not each other. Tom and I began "officially" dating the winter of our senior year of High School. We were young, in love, and inseparable. The Fall of the following year I left for The Kansas City Art Institute and Tom went north to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. Distance got the better of us and we decided to put our relationship on pause although we remained friends. I'm not sure if I believe in fate, but there was a reason that we both ended up back in our home town of St. Louis, Missouri after college. Four years later, I married the man of my dreams. The rest... is history!
