Flourishing Greenery and Crisp White Blooms in Timeless Day at St. James 1868

When a wedding professional ties the knot, you know it’s going to be magical. For David Hackbarth, owner of David Charles Productions, and Allie Cabreza’s Milwaukee wedding, his team and Renee Tantillo of Renee Breanne Design + Co went above and beyond to create a day that exuded elegance and style. St. James 1868 proved to be the ideal locale, matching the couple’s timeless vision to a tee. Botanical elements and candlelight played a significant role in the design; rich clusters of crisp white blooms and candles at varying heights added an aura of romance while flourishing greenery provided texture and depth to the historic space. “The design strikes the perfect balance between classic elegance and luxury, creating a serene and lush atmosphere that feels both timeless and naturally beautiful,” Tantillo says. With a goal to showcase their refined taste while remaining deeply personal, the pair incorporated meaningful elements throughout the day. Bespoke details were on full display, from the numerous backdrops, glam seating chart display and the striking dance floor. A mariachi band gave a lively performance to honor the bride’s heritage, and a character artist drew portraits of guests. According to Tantillo, their nuptials were a perfect blend of celebration and connection.
