Laura & Mike

Lovely Location

Laura and Mike met in high school, but later realized they had actually attended pre-school together! Throughout their relationship, they had vacationed in Lake Geneva many times and had even gotten engaged in the area. It was clearly the perfect mini destination spot for their wedding.

Bright & Beautiful

Laura’s vision for the Big Day included an abundance of color and was very summery, with pink, coral, bright green and white. With inspiration from Lilly Pulitzer and the flowers from her wedding dress fabric, the florals were big, bright and fresh. The vibrant flower arrangements and bouquets were also reflected in the custom watercolor monogram crest that was used on everything from the stationery to the napkins.

Recipe for Love

Mike is a chef, so he came up with the entire menu for the cocktail hour and dinner. He worked closely with the chef at Geneva National Resort to bring those ideas to life. The guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was!

Par for the Course

Both Mike and Laura agreed that their favorite part of the day was driving in a golf cart together around the reception site, soaking in the day and enjoying a moment of alone time.
