Wedding Story
Photographer’s Remarks: “Today’s wedding at Bird Haven Greenhouse happened on one of the prettiest days in the Midwest this past summer! Daniel and Jessica have a romantic love story and their wedding day was filled with romance, joy, laughs, and lots of twinkle lights.
“The colors were champagne mixed with floral bouquets of roses and baby’s breath. The wedding was held outdoors at the Bird Haven Greenhouse. Daniel waited at the floral arch as Jessica came out the greenhouse to marry her prince charming.
Bridal Fashion
“She wore a full birdcage veil and an elegant crystal jacket over her fitted silk gown.
Wedding Ceremony
“The ceremony was filled with sentimental stories of the two of them. Daniel said, ‘I love the way you take those stickers off my apples when you make my lunch.’
“Yeah. That’s love.
“It tugged at my heart because I do that for my husband and then wash and dry the apple, place it tenderly into his lunch box, and hope he enjoys it. We have been married for 19 years and I have been making his lunches every single morning.
“That’s love – when you can commit to making someone’s lunch for the rest of your life and like it.
Photos
“After the ceremony, we did some beautiful family photos and then strolled through the greenhouse for a few quiet moments of just the newlyweds. Big, orange trumpet flowers filled one side of the room. It was a perfect afternoon.
Reception
“The reception was held at Daniel’s parent’s back yard. It was a tented reception with a Father of the Bride feel to it.
“The catering company grilled and prepared all the food in the yard as the guests enjoyed cocktails, music, and a fun twinkle light selfie station. After introductions, guests were treated to a motivational speech by a Chris Farley impersonator and a Mexican feast.
“Jessica and Daniel had their favorite cake from Portillos for dessert, and then danced the night away.”
