A Colorful Summer Wedding at Garver Feed Mill

Maggie and Marshal are two of the kindest people you will ever meet, and helping them plan their dream day was so fun and special to be a part of. Their vision for their wedding day was a warm and lively dinner party surrounded by their closest family and friends. Maggie was drawn to bright whites and neutral tones, while Marshal loved bold, vibrant colors. By blending both of their styles, we created a bright and airy design featuring neutral textures and details, accented with pops of color in the flowers and decor, along with plenty of romantic candlelight to bring their perfect summer dinner party to life.

Their love story is so sweet, and we found the perfect ways to weave meaningful details into their design. Our favorite? Maggie’s charming sketches and doodles that beautifully reflected their journey as a couple. These personal illustrations were incorporated into various elements, including the invitation suites, vow books, table numbers and matchboxes.

Maggie and Marshal’s first dance was also one for the books. Their incredibly sweet choreographed dance to Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight” had everyone smiling from ear to ear. And the dancing didn’t stop there! Their family-friend’s band, Mookie Terremoto, along with the David Charles Pro team, kicked off the open dance floor with amazing energy, keeping guests dancing all night long to the best music!

Cheers to you, Maggie & Marshal! It was such a joy to be part of your beautiful day, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
