This wedding epitomizes both elegance and sophistication. Lush greens and creamy florals against a brick backdrop have made for gorgeous wedding photos. This wedding was set in the heart of the warehouse district in downtown Lawrence, Kansas.  A beautifully serene setting for Michaela and Brock's special day.

The venue, Cider Gallery, was practically made for this couple. The acoustic sounds of the string quartet filled the air in the courtyard as they said their vows. [one-half-first][/one-half-first] [one-half][/one-half] Michaela carried a bouquet, designed and crafted by her own father, which he presented to her as a surprise on the morning of her wedding. The bridesmaids wore mixed shades of gray, and the groomsmen looked classicly dapper in their suspenders and bow ties. Of course, Michaela and Brock's fur baby joined in on the wedding fun too!

Guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the courtyard and then circled around the bride and groom, sparklers in hand, for their first dance.

A huge floral wall served as the backdrop for the cake and then transformed into photo booth later that night. To top it all off, friends and family were sent to the favor table before they left, to package up a to-go box filled with goodies, including fresh chocolate chip cookies!
