The Planning

Design / Vibe / Vision

Nicole desired a modern garden party-style wedding and planner Harper Mae Events carried that through with an outdoor cocktail hour with blue toile linens, beautiful pink, peach, and blue florals throughout both the ceremony and reception, a string quartet as live entertainment, and settle candlelight during dinner. It was delivering both the outdoors and being in a lovely garden and enjoying the traditions of a classic wedding all in one.

The Fashion

Wedding Gown

Nicole's wedding gown, carefully selected at Chantilly Bridal Studio in Oklahoma City, was a beautifully beaded gown designed by Made with Love Bridal. It was a modern fit to a "modern garden party".

Bridesmaid Dresses

The bridesmaids each selected a style of dress representing her own personal style in the most beautiful shade of blue from Azazie. It provided by the most stunning pop of color inside the chapel as they stood by as Nicole said "I do".

Cocktail Hour

The Details

Food & Drink

Cocktail hour included margaritas (refreshing indeed!), crown and cokes (a perfect detail for the groom!), and espresso martinis (oh how fun and tasty!). Guests also indulged in some light culinary treats featuring sweet chili grilled shrimp with avocado-radish slaw, whipped goat cheese and prosciutto on herbed crostini, and of course, a fan favorite, fried chicken and waffles with a sriracha honey glaze. Guests then feasted on a scrumptious combo plate of king salmon and cab top sirloin. The featured sides included mac n' cheese, roasted vegetables, and homemade rolls.

Florals & Decor

The chapel at Glass Chapel needs very little decoration to make it beautiful, it stands on its own. However, garden weddings must have their florals! We used a split arch for the alter and then reutilized it to frame the sweetheart table at the reception along with the aisle ground pieces. The venues reception space was the perfect blank canvas to incorporate both color and texture. The tables were comprised of either stunning compote arrangements from The French Bouquet (those peonies though!) or a bud vase runner. All of the place settings remained the same to ensure "modern" was carried throughout.

Wedding Cake

The wedding cake design is a perfect blend of classic, whimsy, and modern. Adorned with pastel garden blooms and one of the bottom tiers featuring icing work. It's flavors were strawberry, white cake, marble and chocolate. The groom himself chose red velvet for his own personal cake! Fun fact: the wedding cake sat on a lace overlay that belonged to Nicole's grandmother (1940's) and was display at both Nicole and her mother's weddings!

Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs

The bride walked down the aisle to a string version "At Last" performed by a string quartet and the couple walked right back up the aisle as husband and wife to "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love", Tulsa String Quartet did both so beautifully!

Special Detail #1

Completing the garden theme of the day, the couple departed in a 1952 Bentley MK VI.

Special Detail #2

Nicole had a custom hand-painted bottle of Veuve Cliquot champagne that matched her wedding suite, it was stunning in both flatlays and on the cake table for added decoration. At the time of the cake cutting, Nicole & Jameson decided to pop it to segway into toasts. It popped AND WENT EVERYWHERE. It was such a fun memory!

Special Detail #3

During cocktail hour, guests got to enjoy some beautiful May weather on the patio while sipping cocktails, loving the passed appetizers available to try, and listening to a string quartet play. A variety of seating was added to ensure guests could be comfy as possible.
