Hayden & Nicole | A Luxe Garden Wedding at The Edgewater in Madison, Wisconsin.

August 24, 2023

Hayden & Nicole’s day was filled with so much GRATITUDE; it is what stands out to me most when I reflect back on their beautiful celebration. They spoke it in their words, with endless “thank you’s” shared with those around them all throughout the day. Not only are they both gifted communicators, but they also freely and generously share what is on their hearts; they hold nothing back in expressing the love and gratitude that is flowing from within them. What a breathtaking dynamic this creates for those who get to be a part of their world … we are certainly thankful to have a small place in it : )

Both Hayden and Nicole are sentimental people, meaning their wedding day was FULL of happy tears, abundant laughter, and intentional touches that brought so many of the things that mean so much to them into their union celebration. Their first look was incredibly powerful as Nicole, who ‘hardly ever cries,’ was brought to tears upon seeing her future husband unable to hold back his own. This moment repeated itself as she walked down the aisle with her dad during the ceremony and I am convinced, their shared love and respect for one another will move mountains in their lifetime.

From getting ready with their bridal parties in the early morning hours of the day, to a surprise visit from Bucky as dancing began at the reception, Nicole & Hayden’s day went off without a single hitch thanks to incredibly thoughtful planning from both the couple and Midwestern Bride. I am truly SO excited to share such a STUNNING day with you in every sense of the word. Our biggest CONGRATULATIONS to the Kellys — we adore you and are so, so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!
