Paige + Steven: Creamy White Wedding

Wedding: May 6, 2017

Ceremony: Trinity Lutheran Church, Neenah

Reception: Butte Des Morts Country Club, Appleton

Honeymoon: Door County

Though Paige Asendorf and Steven Young met in high school, they didn’t start dating until a few years later, when Paige’s brother-in-law brought them together. Thanks to that successful matchmaking, plus their similar sense of humor, the couple knew early on that they were perfect for one another. When it came to planning their wedding day, Paige had a lot of inspiration and ideas, thanks to her job in the wedding industry. With lots of people willing to help, the couple opted for an Italian-inspired wedding, classic and simple with a soft color palette and natural décor, including generous use of lush greenery, herbs and romantic white flowers. The couple wasn’t crazy about the tradition of kissing each time a glass was clinked during dinner, so they opted for an alternative: To get the couple to kiss, a guest had to tell a joke on the DJ’s microphone. One of the most memorable moments of the evening was decidedly more traditional, however—the father-daughter dance, with Paige the third daughter to be wed in just four years. It was evident Paige and Steven’s wedding was as special for the couple as it was for their families.
