Have you ever been to a wedding where the bride felt like a true princess—crown and all? Well, now I have, and I can’t wait to share a peek into the special day with you! Let me take you along on Abigail and Brandon’s stunning Occasions Party Centre wedding day in New Franklin, OH.
I arrived the morning of the wedding in the bridal suite while Abigail was getting her hair done. As her hair dresser delicately placed Abigail’s tiara on her head, I snapped photos with the afternoon light streaming in. Abigail then put on her TWO veils (yes, two!), one glittery and another opaque. The combination was stunning, but you better believe I was covered head to toe in glitter after the portrait session! Her ballgown with timeless drop shoulder sleeves, voluminous skirt, and glitter tiara made her look like a true princess!
The Occasions Party Centre wedding ceremony was held in a lush green field with a simple white gazebo and a glistening pond in the background. The deep maroon dresses the bridesmaids wore brought the perfect splash of color to the early fall scene, while a fountain glittered in the background. And when Abigail made her grand entrance, Brandon’s eyes filled with tears, perfecting the fairytale scene. Their guests couldn’t help but tear up, too!
The couple concluded their ceremony with a beautiful sand ceremony. If you aren’t familiar, sand ceremonies are when a couple pours sand into a glass together, representing the union of two people. The water sparkling in the background made the shot truly gorgeous, and the unique moment in the ceremony made for a sentimental and personal spin on the day.
After the ceremony, I got to steal away for a few moments with the couple to take their portraits. Tucked away by the lake, the deep greens and crisp whites played beautifully off one another. The newlyweds made the most beautiful couple, so taking their portraits couldn’t have been easier!
Then Abigail swapped out her show stopping duo veil for a shorter option so she could break it down with her people! Princesses in tiaras wanna have fun, too! The reception was an absolute blast, because man, can Abigail and Brandon really dance. They spent the entire night on the dance floor, and Brandon’s groomsmen/hypemen truly could not be beat. They kept the energy high and the night endlessly fun. The DJ, from Black Tie Entertainment, was in on the fun, too—he got a fog machine going during their first dance, and even gave the microphone away at the end of the night so it became a karaoke stage! The whole day was perfect from beginning to end. Congratulations, Abigail and Brandon on your big day! Your breathtaking Occasions Party Centre wedding celebration is one I’ll never forget!
