A little back story to start us off…..Alliey ran into her high school sweetheart and from there they both knew that they didn’t want to waste any more time apart. Luke packed up and moved from Central Wisconsin to start his life with a wedding planner 🙂
From the beginning they knew they wanted a small wedding with their closest friends and family. Nothing too big or showy AND NO PRODUCTION… Just simple and all about the love they share.
The couple invited family and friends to stay at the Hyatt in Green Bay where their kids could swim and family from out of town could explore parts of Green Bay – like Titletown & Hinterland Breweries, KOKOs sushi, Kavarna, The Children’s Museum and so much more.
Alliey & Luke had a first look to capture amazing pictures of just them before doing family pictures. A spot was chosen by the talented Adam LeSage down by the river behind Titletown as there was amazing foliage for the shots. After that the small ceremony guest list headed to the Green Bay Botanical Gardens where the intimate stage was set in the Wellhouse. This space is typically too small for most wedding ceremonies – but for their’s it was perfect for 15 guests. The fireplace was brought in to create a candlelit ceremony. The chairs were custom monogrammed and blankets awaited the guests as it was a bit chilly that day. The floral and bouquets were amazingly done by Jerad and the crew at Buds n Bloom design. They executed Alliey’s vision perfectly – with flowy marsala blooms and texture.
Jill Grohusky played her harp meticulously and so elegant – some songs from Elle Goulding, Brendan Heath, Ben Harper & Aerosmith. Alliey worked with Jill on her wedding to her high school love over 4 years ago. It meant so much to Alliey for Jill to show her talents for her wedding.
