A Chic Art Museum Wedding With Stunning Botanical Elements

With a shared love for Michigan summers, Andrew and Andrea’s wedding was a showcase of modern outdoor design at the Cranbrook Art Museum. This museum space allowed for their concept of a romantic garden party to flourish. This unique location, held in the expansive outdoor peristyle, was held under soaring columns. Guests climbed the steps to see breathtaking views of the terrace and fountains.

Andrew and Andrea were instantly surprised at how much they shared in common. After meeting on a dating app, they enjoyed a first date where they realized their families even shared mutual friends. While on a trip to Delray Beach, Florida, the couple was engaged.

Andrea wore a romantic lace gown by Maggie Sottero.

Andrea's bridesmaids wore an array of mismatched blush satin dresses.

Andrew and his groomsmen wore classic black tuxes.

Andrea and Andrew served a fresh pantry salad, followed by guests' choice of Angus filet or sea salt and herb-grilled chicken, accompanied by fingerling potatoes and haricots verts.

Greenery was a focal point, as organic installations hung from inside the reception tent and along the walls and fences. Florals focused on creamy pastels, where butter yellows, dusty lavenders, and blush pinks melted together delicately. This outdoor reception space included modern lighting and sleek decor, which created the feeling of an outdoor summer dinner party. They even designed a nature-inspired seating chart set on a wall of greenery. Name tags for guests blended into the swirling swags of leaves, detailed in botanical art.

The couple's stunning wedding cake featured a golden lattice with spring roses climbing up the side.

Andrea and Andrew's honeymoon was spent on the island of Maui. They enjoyed swimming with sea turtles, snorkeling, biking, and driving the bucket-list-worthy road to Hana.

Their best advice to couples planning their own weddings: "Don't sweat the small stuff because eventually, all those little things don't end up being such a big deal."
