Ohio Weddings

Today’s featured wedding from Little Black Book members, Genevieve and James Nisly, is jam-packed with lovely details and warm-hearted photos …

Tracy and Jeff were married at St Peter’s Episcopal Church in Lakewood, Ohio. Their beautiful reception followed at the Metropolitan Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio. The photos that Genevieve and James captured are so rich and so striking that we know you’ll LOVE them as much as we do!

Maybe it’s the combination of colors that’s so great … the pop of fuschia and green against the more subtle neutral browns of the suits. Just LOVE it.

And then these shots of the young ones … too, too cute!

Add in black bridesmaids dresses, and voilá … the palette is complete!

Tracy and Jeff’s wedding had so many great details … I don’t think we’ve ever featured a wedding on The Little Black Book Blog that had better detail shots!

Another of Style Me Pretty’s fantastic Little Black Book members, Valarie Kirkbride was the wedding coordinator for this lovely wedding. The luscious cupcakes were made by Flour Girl … also one of SMP’s Little Black Book of FABULOUS wedding vendors!

Grande Designs did a remarkable job with the floral design. The assorted arrangements and the bouquets are simply perfect … pulled all of the elements of the wedding colors together beautifully.

A little bit about Tracy and Jeff from Genevieve …Tracy and Jeff are one of the sweetest and most gentle couples I know. They kept checking in with us making sure we had everything we needed. Her smile is contagious and just lights up a room whenever she walks in. They both carry themselves with grace and a dash of fun.

And my personal favorite images from the day …

BEAUTIFUL…

A huge thanks to Genevieve and James Nisly for sharing Tracy & Jeff’s wedding with us! You really captured the joy of the day!

Ronald and Natasha were married in an absolutely beautiful ceremony at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Natasha and wedding planner, Valarie Kirkbride orchestrated a very unique Russian “Ice” celebration.

From Valerie,” When I first spoke with Natasha, she knew that she wanted an all white and cream wedding, with the only colors being the green of the flowers. I soon discovered that both of the bride and groom’s parents had moved to the US from Russia, so we started planning a loose “Ice” theme…

“The chuppah was designed with white fabric and hanging crystals strung with orchids.”

“The ballroom was up-lit in pale blue with leaf silhouettes to showcase the venue, the Botanical Gardens. Guests found their names on elegant rhinestone escort cards hung on white trees. The white satin linens and embroidered leaf organza overlays, chargers and specific silver flatware completed the settings. When guests found their tables, they were greeted with hand-made, personally calligraphied menus.”

“Natasha was born in Zhdanov, Ukraine.  She and her parents immigrated to the United States when she was five years old. Through mutual friends and family, Ronald’s and Natasha’s paths crossed many times during the ensuing years, but it wasn’t until December 2003 that they fell in love.  And as the saying goes, the rest is history!”
