The incredible love of their expansive family was at the heart of Karinna and Nick’s emotional, elegant wedding. It was a truly special and memorable celebration, and we feel so lucky to have been a part of it!

For an entire day the spectacular Pierce House in Lincoln was theirs, and the beautiful touches throughout, from keepsakes to framed photos in every room, made the space feel like their home.
Karinna and her bridal party arrived from the Westin in full glam squad mode. They hurried upstairs to make sure Nick and his crew didn’t catch a glimpse as they took a few moments to enjoy the view from the beautiful bridal suite. Karinna zipped into her Lazaro dress, grabbed her bouquet from Bittersweet Gardens, and nervously awaited their first look, knowing that Nick would be waiting in the gardens outside for her.

Meanwhile throughout the house, we put the finishing touches on each room. We lined mantelpieces with beloved family photos, hung candle-lit mason jars among the oaks, and arranged the gorgeous tablescapes designed by Karinna’s mother-in-law. Every small detail added to the warm, welcoming ambience.
The clouds cleared away just in time for the heartfelt ceremony by the pond. Karinna’s brother-in-law officiated with a sincere sweetness, drawing laughter and tears from the guests. With his final words he ushered Nick and Karinna into their new adventure, and the group was ready to celebrate!

Drawn back to the house by the sound of the baby grand and saxophone, everyone enjoyed lawn games and the couple’s signature cocktail, “Loud Mouth Soup”. Capers Catering kept the delicious apps and drinks coming. Meanwhile in the tent, we lit candles and arranged herbs at each place setting, keeping with the casual, heirloom-vintage feel of Karinna’s decor.

As the mid-autumn sun began to set, everyone took their seats and awaited the couples introduction to “Love on Top." When the couple welcomed their loved ones to the reception, they toasted in memory of Karinna’s father, who they knew would have torn up the dance floor. And with that cue, the party was in the hands of Ripcord, who were every bit as lively as the family who couldn’t wait to show off their excellent dance moves.
