Wisconsin Bride welcomed the local wedding community to Pearl & Cade in downtown Milwaukee for a moody, glamorous masquerade celebrating the release of the Spring/Summer 2026 issue. Designed and planned by Miriam Events Co., the evening embraced dramatic styling, rich textures and an air of mystery that set the tone from the moment guests arrived.
The space was transformed with layered rentals and décor from Ambrosia Events and Event Essentials, complemented by artful graphics and paper goods by Fest Paper and Design. Candlelit details and a jewel-toned palette enhanced Pearl & Cade's intimate atmosphere, while Celebrations Entertainment ensured seamless AV throughout the night. Beyond Twisted Salon and Taylor Dawn Makeup prepared the Wisconsin Bride team for the evening with beautifully glam looks.
Guests mingled over mouth-wateringly elevated bites, including a sprawling charcuterie board, truffle deviled eggs, miniature pineapple upside-down cakes and more from Brazen Standard, alongside mysteriously delivered cocktails from the venue's bar, while entertainment by Emily & Alex provided a live, dreamy soundtrack. Playful touches included "moon water" shots (with Pop Rock bumps!) by Happy Joy Hospitality, adding a whimsical twist to the masquerade mood.
Interactive moments invited guests to linger, including a permanent jewelry experience by Kalina & Co. Jewelry and a photo booth by Erika RW Photography. Content creation by Aside the Bride captured the celebration in real time, and the night was further documented by The Polka Dot Co. and Willow Film. Saint Kate's Hotel provided accommodations for the Wisconsin Bride team.
The Masquerade marked a striking and celebratory launch for Wisconsin Bride's Spring/Summer 2026 season.
