About THe Event


This elegant summer wedding combined the fun of an intimate backyard gathering with the style of a luxury garden party at The Ivy House in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. College sweethearts, Austin and Ellen wanted to their wedding to embody their fun and wild weekends together but also have the chic aesthetic reflective of them as a couple. The butter yellow florals brought an elevated summer feel and popped perfectly against the green ivy. Cold bottles of Miller and chilled champagne waited for guests before the ceremony on the hot day. Ellen had multiple bridal looks including a party dress designed by Nadine Merabi. The night was ended with an epic dance party and cigars on the patio.
