SCULPTURAL SERENITY

Set against the raw, untamed beauty of northwestern Wisconsin, this sculptural ceremony site was equally serene as it was unique. Stout’s Island Lodge provided the perfect backdrop for Maddy and Matt’s wedding, where glistening waters, towering pines and sweeping natural vistas created a magical atmosphere. Though surrounded by an abundance of organic beauty, Maddy envisioned an outdoor ceremony with an artistic edge, and SERCE, Fersk Floral Artistry and Elysian Flower Club helped bring that vision to life. Amid swaying trees, a sculptural chiffon installation served as the ceremony’s focal point. Framed by an ethereal array of white anthurium, calla lilies and bunches of woodsy grasses, this design flawlessly blended modernity with nature.

SECRET GARDEN

The Milwaukee Art Museum stands as an iconic architectural gem in the 414. And rightfully so, its soaring ceilings and luminous white palette are the perfect canvas for an unforgettable celebration. For Lauren and Anders’ wedding day, the team at Events to a T and Briar Loft artfully brought the outside in, transforming the space into a romantic garden reverie. Clusters of hydrangeas, a dynamic blend of amaranthus and flourishing greenery garnished the aisle, seemingly taking root in the ground. The breathtaking chuppah stood at the end of the aisle, boasting strategically placed blooms. A beautiful composition emerged between delicate, textural flowers and a warm, earthy palette, creating a striking contrast against the museum’s crisp white architecture.
