Planned and designed by Cappella Weddings & Events and Haley Hundt Photos, this stunning editorial scape brought together many talented vendors in La Crosse. This wedding inspiration, set in the new Stella Ballroom at Cappella Weddings & Events, embraced European elegance with a modern twist. The vision for this shoot combined French femininity, lush garden romance, fashion-forward details, and soft, romantic motion blurs.
Whimsical Design Decor Co. designed stunning paper goods that blended classical script fonts with modern typography. They kept the color palette simple, with black, white, and minimal rich green accents. The invitation and details cards featured luxurious paper with torn edges, perfectly complemented by a dark envelope featuring a delicate motif liner.
The bride wore a breathtaking basque waist satin dress from Charlotte's Bridal & Formal Wear, featuring visible pleating and a structured bodice. A cathedral-length, two-tiered tulle veil provided multiple veil length opportunities perfect for dreamy, artful photography. Complementing the gown, Hair Dressed by Kristyn crafted a chic, effortless take on the messy French twist, while Esthetician Devinne enhanced the model's natural beauty with a glowing, romantic makeup look.
Also styled by Charlotte's Bridal & Formal Wear, the groom wore a sharp black suit with a glossy lapel, a white shirt with small black buttons, and a bowtie.
To set the scene, Orange Door Weddings & Event Rentals provided exquisite decor that harmonized beautifully with the sleek architecture of the venue. Pennycress Studio curated lush white floral arrangements featuring delicate blooms and greenery. Softly glowing candlelight brought even more warmth and intimacy to the setting.
Meringue Bakery & Cafe crafted an exquisite four-tiered cake that was an artistic masterpiece. With white frosting piped in delicate motifs, the dessert was perfectly in tune with the editorial's aesthetic.
Haley Hundt Photos masterfully balanced both candid and posed moments, ensuring that every detail of this editorial exuded emotion and artistry. Her approach seamlessly blended structured compositions with effortless movement, incorporating intentional blur to evoke a sense of romance and nostalgia. The result is a visual narrative that feels deeply personal, allowing every frame to tell a story of elegance, passion, and sophistication.
