Patrick and Leah's Wedding in Cleveland, Ohio

Irish Touches: The Groom and Groomsmen wore authentic kilts from Kilt Bros.; I had shamrocks on the bottom of my custom shoes from Ellie Wren (same designer that did Meteorologist Ginger Zee's wedding shoes!); lavendar was used in the bouquets and decor; we did the traditional Hand-fasting ("tying of the knot") during the ceremony followed by a Celtic poem; and guests were given ribbon wands with bell ends to cheer us on at the end of the ceremony. During our couple shots by the lake, a boater came up to the edge and played bagpipe music as we posed! It was so perfect.

Polish Touches: We did the bread, salt and vodka shot presented by our mothers, pierogi's at dinner, kolachki's for dessert, and of course played polka music!

My veil, made by Crown and Glory x Rock n' Roll Bride had stars along the edge (I have a thing for stars, which were also on my heels)

We had the Cleveland skyline in a graffiti-style on our cake, which was atop 3 layers of really cool and delicious cake pops! (Like Flintstone push-up pops, not the round ball kind).

My husband and I work in television (how we met and fell in love), so we had an artist on Etsy make our topper to be us in our wedding attire, but he with his camera and I with my microphone!

My dad made our "Just Married" sign, and it was drawn to look like my husband and I as the 'Love Is...' kids

Our friend Jeff, who was Manager at Great Lakes, was our officiant, our best friend Cricket was our talented florist, our friend Glenn was our DJ, and my best friend Taylor (owner of the Salon at Bratenahl) did my hair and make-up.

We aimed to shop local or with independent artists and stores as much as possible. We shopped A LOT on Etsy!

Our hand-fasting ribbon, which was an Etsy purchase, says "I love you and I like you" inspired by the show Parks & Rec.

Oak + Honey Events were our month/day of coordinator (and they were fantastic!)
