Erica and Blake’s wedding day at Swan Lake Event Center consisted of all of my favorite things: delicious margaritas, tacos, vibrant florals, and stunning details.

This sweet couple has known each other since middle school, but in the beginning didn’t exchange a single word until almost a decade later, during their sophomore year of college, where Blake messaged Erica on Tinder. After one cheesy pick up line and a first date at a yoga class, these two are finally married!

The morning of their wedding started off as most, with stunning details. Erica’s classic Vivian Bella Belle shoes paired perfectly with the embroidered lace and elegant, draped silk tulle sleeves on her Mira Zwillinger gown. Blake kept the classic aesthetic by rocking a black suite custom made by Vincent and West.

The first looks came after, where tender hugs and laughter were the result. However, do not be fooled. These first looks did not take away the nerves and excitement the two felt when walking down the aisle. As Erica came down the steps leading to the ceremony with her dad, the light hit perfectly behind her as she locked eyes with Blake. Tears came across the faces of the couple and their surrounding loved ones. It was the perfect moment.

The ceremony and reception space fit the summer season well, being filled with soft peony blooms and roses by Madison House Flowers. My favorite were the colorful rose petals that lined each side of the aisle adding so much texture to the environment.

As the night kicked off, and the dances began, sparks were flying… literally. TurnUp Columbus brought out their signature indoor fireworks for Erica and Blake’s first dance and it did not disappoint. What lit up the space after that was the custom neon sign displaying “til death” from Aiden and Grace and the many smiles from friends and family. Oh, was it a joy to finally see a dance floor filled with smiles! I couldn’t have imaged their day any better than it was. CONGRATS MR. AND MRS. CARPENTER!
