Caitlin & Will’s Chic Downtown Wedding- Kansas City, MO
The Couple
Caitlin and Will have been together for 10 years. Caitlin’s twin sister introduced them in college! The couple have spent the last decade supporting each other, sometimes long distance.
The Ceremony
Love was in the air in downtown Kansas City as Will and Caitlin tied the knot in a beautiful traditional Catholic Church ceremony. The happy couple exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family, surrounded by the stunning architecture and intricate stained glass windows of the church.
Caitlin, a nurse with a heart of gold, walked down the aisle in a breathtaking gown that perfectly captured her timeless style. Her look was completed by a pair of delicate earrings that belonged to her late cousin Hayley, adding a sentimental touch to her already elegant bridal attire.
“I wanted a dress that was less trendy & more timeless. I never saw myself in a strapless gown, but the silhouette made me feel confident and almost like an old Hollywood style,” Caitlin said. “ It felt so serendipitous my late cousin, Hayley, picked such a beautiful art deco style of earrings for her own wedding. It was an honor to wear them in her memory on my wedding day.”
Will looked dapper in his tuxedo, his face lighting up as he saw his beautiful bride walking down the aisle towards him. As they exchanged their vows, the couple couldn't help but steal glances at each other, a testament to their deep connection and devotion to each other.
“Reciting my vows to Will was so special and momentous for me. It felt surreal to be married to the man who has supported me through so many major life experiences over the past 10 years. The images of our ceremony were so special to see. Will is a rare crier and to see his emotion caught on camera was amazing.”
The Reception
After the ceremony, the party continued at The Bardot, an Art Deco venue chosen by the couple for its classic style but more elevated from just a basic ballroom. The newlyweds and their guests were treated to a night of music and celebration, complete with delicious food, and plenty of dancing. The couple also planned a rooftop cocktail hour that overlooked downtown, giving their guests a stunning view of the city that Caitlin calls home.
Although the couple lives in Memphis, Caitlin's hometown of Kansas City was the perfect setting for their wedding day. The city's energy and charm perfectly reflected the couple's fun-loving personalities and their love for each other.
The night was filled with joy and laughter, as friends and family came together to celebrate the newlyweds.
“Our guests made our day so special. We had a large wedding party for 30+ year-olds, but I'm so grateful we were surrounded by such a fun and loving group for the entire day. A large portion of our guests traveled for our wedding and it was so special to see their commitment to us as a couple and be there to celebrate. It was truly a weekend of celebrating with a large rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding. Guests raved about the food and the band. We were so thrilled to have our closest friends & family on the dance floor the entire night,” Caitlin said.
Congratulations, Will and Caitlin, on a stunning wedding day filled with love, joy, and memories that will last a lifetime. May your future together be as bright and beautiful as the lights of downtown Kansas City.
-Lots of love and cheers,
Morgan
