For Michaella + Jordan, the year leading up to their wedding was a tumultuous time due to family illnesses and injuries. Because of this, the couple knew they wanted their wedding to be a huge celebration - a celebration of life and all the beauty in this world. Through incorporating a respectful and loving homage to Michaella's mother, embracing each and every one of their guests with open arms, and dancing the night away - they were able to do just that.

The couple had a clear vision of how they wanted their wedding to look, but more importantly, how they wanted it to feel. The team at To Have & To Hold was able to create the whimsical + romantic feel they wanted, and set the stage for one rockin' party.With florals from Jolie Fleur Del Mar, and a sprinkling of softer elements, the wedding had a rustic, yet modern industrial look.

Their photographer, Natalie, from Red Barn Photography shares the first time I met Michaella + Jordan, they didn't shake my hand - instead they greeted me with a warm hug. And that's the way they are as a couple: warm, inviting, and they fill you with such joy.

Michaella noted that choosing a great photographer was of the utmost importance to her + Jordan, and they definitely found one. Natalie definitely captured that joy, the passion they have for life, and the love they have for each other.

Holy smokes!! That two piece wedding dress! We love how it's complemented by the sweet little jewelry accents - such an elegant way to rock this style.

Find your table here, but your place is on the dance floor. Okay, who else is obsessed with this sign? We love all the mini succulents as place cards, too!
