Anna and Ryan’s Notre Dame wedding was a magical day filled with heartfelt moments, unique details, and vibrant sunflowers. Surrounded by 260 friends and family, their wedding beautifully blended personal touches with the timeless elegance of the venue.
Anna and Ryan chose the University of Notre Dame for its perfect combination of charm and practicality. The venue’s abundance of natural light, spacious outdoor patio, and ideal size for their guest list created the perfect atmosphere.
The couple’s wedding theme featured dusty blues, grays, and pops of sunny yellow. Sunflowers brought vibrancy and warmth to the décor, complementing the romantic and relaxed vibe of the day.
One of the most touching details was their handwritten letters for each guest, which doubled as place cards. These personal notes made every guest feel valued and appreciated, leaving a lasting impression.
Anna and Ryan incorporated heirlooms into their day, adding special meaning to their celebration. Ryan’s cufflinks, lace on Anna’s bouquet, and Anna’s necklace all held sentimental value. The cake and cupcakes, lovingly made by Ryan’s sister, were showstopping treats. “We need a bomb photograph of them,” Anna said, reflecting their importance to the couple.
Anna and Ryan shared their first dance to “Forever on Your Side” by NEEDTOBREATHE. This heartfelt moment was one of the highlights of their celebration. The dance floor came alive with music provided by Jonathan Swihart from Kaleidoscope Events, keeping everyone entertained throughout the night.
The couple ended their day with a grand sparkler send-off. Surrounded by their loved ones, they exited under the glow of sparklers, creating a magical finish to their unforgettable wedding.
After their wedding, Anna and Ryan jetted off to Banff and Lake Louise in Canada for their honeymoon. The serene mountains and pristine lakes provided the perfect backdrop for their first adventure as a married couple.
The couple encourages future couples to focus on meaningful details that reflect their personality. Incorporating personal touches, like handwritten letters, can make your day unique and memorable.
