It was the most perfect sunny day with many colors & soft flowers! We preferred our day to be bright and fun and made everything our own style. All of our friends and family were together to celebrate and it was just a huge party with everyone we love. My vision came to life in every way and it was the best day getting to marry my best friend!” – The Bride

Sunshine, color, and nonstop celebration defined Addy and Gage’s wedding day at Willow On Grand, where every detail felt intentional. From the very beginning, White Willow Events brought Addy and Gage’s vision to life through thoughtful planning and stunning decor that tied the entire day together. Soft and elegant florals by Shelly Sarver Designs added layers of romance and personality, with arrangements that balanced playful color and airy textures beautifully. Addy stunned in not one, but two looks from Rosalie Bridal, featuring a dreamy gown for the ceremony and the cutest dress change that kept the celebration feeling fresh and fun all night long. Guests were treated to an unforgettable dining experience thanks to Barattas, whose catering fueled the energy and kept the party going well into the evening.

Here’s to the Vander Leests and a wedding day that was bursting with color, laughter, and so much love!
