Mo & Evan were married at the Milwaukee Urban Ecology Center.
If TJ and I could script a wedding, it would look like Mo and Evan’s day. We knew it would be perfect from the day we met them. They’re a great mix of non-traditional, so fun, polite … well, just great people! They surrounded themselves with close friends and family who have watched them bloom from high school sweethearts to the engineer and pastry chef they are today.
There were two First Look’s on the agenda. One was with Mo and her father, the other was Mo & Evan. After that, the circular ceremony in the woods brought everyone together. Mo and Evan were raised so everyone had a good view – a photographers dream! One of their best friends officiated, they read their own vows and there was not a dry eye in the house!
Mo’s BHLDN dress was one of our favorites paired with the gold leaf headpiece created by her friend C. Alexandria. She was perfectly paired. Evan even made her belt. Yes, he made it. Talk about a man of many talents!
Immediately following the ceremony, the celebration continued inside the lodge at the Ecology Center. We anxiously awaited their dessert at Mo’s quite particular about her treats. Miss Molly’s Pastries did not let down. We heard people talking about the miniature goodies all night! Okay, fine. Yes – they were awesome. We tried them all.
Mo and Evan’s advice to future couples is a take away. “Use the people who want to help you on the days leading up or day of. You’re not imposing on them and they really get a kick out of being apart of your day… even if it’s just dropping your bags at the hotel. Delegate!”
