My favorite venue in the Cincinnati area is The Marmalade Lily, and I always look forward to participating in their open houses. If you have never been to a wedding open house, it’s when a venue invites their favorite vendors to set up booths and couples can come enjoy food, desserts, and live music while touring the venue and meeting all the great businesses in attendance. There are often show exclusive offers and giveaways, too!

Saturday was pure wedding magic. Christina & Ryan had an ethereal garden wedding in Loveland, Ohio. Every detail came together to create an other-worldly vibe. From Christina’s bridal headpiece to the ornate cake cutting utensils- this wedding was romantic and atmospheric. Guests enjoyed an outdoor dinner reception while the sun set over the garden at The Marmalade Lily. The resident wedding cat even came out to say hello to guests.

Going inside The Dayton Arcade is something I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to shop there, many years ago. I have heard so many times about how insanely beautiful the inside of the building is. When the opportunity to photograph a styled shoot there popped up, I knew I had to be there! I am so excited to show you guys what it looks like now, after all the renovations have been completed. This historic downtown Dayton location is ready to take on weddings!

If you are looking for spring wedding inspiration, look no further! Yesterday’s bridal showcase at The Marmalade Lily was overflowing with gorgeous spring wedding ideas that I am so excited to share with you. From the bright and colorful vintage rentals to the unique statement floral design, all the vendors did an amazing job bringing their best spring ideas for couples to gather information and plan their weddings. There was a bright and colorful boho lounge area that was a definite show-stopper.
