Bold, Eclectic Nuptials at Garver Feed Mill in Madison

Morgan Sachs and Jonathan Moore’s romance began on a coast-to-coast bicycle trip from Rhode Island to California the summer after they both graduated from college. Jon was the trip leader and Morgan a novice on the Bike & Build organization’s excursion—the goal of which is to raise awareness for affordable housing. As the miles added up, something clicked. The couple eventually wound up in Wisconsin for Jonathan’s job with Trek Bicycle Corp. They wanted to bring their families together (Jon’s family is from Boston and Morgan’s from St. Louis) to share their love of Madison. Their passion for cycling was evident on their special day in the seating chart, which featured bicycle seats and bike bells that guests rang throughout the reception to celebrate. Creativity was everywhere, from the palette of blue and white, with pops of rusty orange in the men’s neckties and boutonnieres, to the LEGO-themed wedding cake. A wealth of exotic florals—king proteas, dahlias, anthurium and other tropical foliage—was another stunning touch. While Morgan’s dad couldn’t attend because of his health, his spirit was present at the cocktail bar imagined as a pharmacy counter, to honor his long career as a pharmacist.
