The design of the midnight gem
Boring signage and stationary is out, we’re making headlines now! We’re bringing a fresh take to your wedding signage, and making it hot!
Take Kori and Trevors welcome signage: It made a statement, and we love that! Gone is the “welcome to so & so’s wedding”, no duh, your guests know who’s wedding their at, so let’s make our welcome signage stand out!
Not only was their welcome sign a hit, but guests loved the couples polaroid guestbook! It helped keep everyone entertained during the cocktail hour.
The Midnight gem wedding ceremony
I LOVED Kori and Trevor’s wedding ceremony, for 3 reasons:
1.) I love Kori and Trevor
2.) They had a flower bro instead of a flower girl
3.) Finally, they had their puppy walk down the aisle for the ceremony
Adorable right?! I love flower bros because they always give guests something to giggle about, and they take their job very seriously! But I also love it when couples include their fur babies on the wedding day, so this was a win win for me!
The Midnight gem wedding reception
After the ceremony guests went inside for the cocktail hour while the bridal party took a party bus offsite for photos. Once the bridal party got back, we did grand introductions, first dance, cake cutting, and speeches and toasts.
After dinner the party offically started, and dancing commenced!
The floral details
One thing that really stood out to me from Kori’s wedding, was her bouquet. Her and Trevor have 3 dogs, two of which were unable to attend the wedding physically, but they were there in spirit thanks to the charms Kori had around her bouquet.
She had a friend make a special charm with photos of their three dogs to wrap around her bouquet, so they could be there with her all day; how sweet!
The Midnight gem wedding decor
We kept the table decor simple for the wedding, with black runners, babies breath garland, and multi heighted pillar candles weaving in and out along the table. We also placed black dinner plates, gold silverware, and black napkins at each place settings for guests.
Overall Kori and Trevors wedding at The Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa was a huge hit, thans to all the amazing vendors who helped with their big day!
