Kendall & Ryan’s Fairytale Madison Wedding

Kendall and Ryan were married on a warm July day in Madison, the city where the two both went to college and ultimately, met and fell in love. Together with an incredible team of creative partners, we helped to create a garden-inspired, fairytale wedding day complete with several special surprises.

Kendall is a big Disney lover, so we wanted to tastefully incorporate some nods to her warm childhood memories. We used “Be Our Guest” as the verbiage on the seating chart, surprised Kendall with a horse and carriage to take her and her parents to the ceremony, and whisked her and Ryan away from the Church after becoming Mr. and Mrs. Kendall’s dress was even called “Belle” – how perfect is that?! 

The surprises didn’t end there. Kendall is a former UW Dance Team member, and because her and Ryan are UW Alumni, we naturally surprised them with Bucky Badger and Echoes of Camp Randall, the University band. 

A neutral and dainty color palette of ivory, pinks and greens and fluffy blooms by Briar Loft paired perfectly in the reception venue, The Madison Club. Bridesmaids donned a dusty rose while the gentlemen wore a deep navy, looking gorgeous side by side. 

Kendall and Ryan, we are so happy for you two and are thankful for being a part of your journey. Cheers to you!
