This was one of my favorite weddings last season. It was memorable for so many reasons and one of those was the attention to detail that Cherry Blossom executed for this absolutely amazing couple.

Spring is in the air, and while April showers may bring May flowers, they also create dreamy wedding moments! A little rain on your big day? That’s just nature’s way of blessing your love story.

Embrace the season with clear umbrellas, soft pastel florals, and romantic, rain-kissed photos. Whether you’re walking down the aisle or dancing in the drizzle, spring weddings are filled with magic!

At a recent wedding, a couple approached me with big smiles and asked, "Pat, do you remember us?" It was Karlee and David whose wedding I had the honor of officiating in November 2021 at The Lageret in Stoughton. Of course, I remembered them! I asked if we could take a quick photo together and was thrilled to learn how much their lives have changed since their wedding day. They are now parents to a little one and are expecting their second child!

This heartwarming experience occurs once or twice a year—couples I've married spot me and come over to reintroduce themselves. It brings me joy to catch up and see how their lives have flourished. These moments remind me of why I love what I do.

Here are a few photos from Karlee and David's beautiful wedding day, captured by the talented Paisley Blue Photography.

The Magic of a Winter Wedding
There’s something undeniably romantic about a winter wedding—the crisp air, the twinkle of fresh snow, and the way love seems to shine even brighter in the cold.

Imagine this: You and your beloved, wrapped in each other’s warmth, standing beneath softly falling snow in front of the majestic Madison Capitol Building. The golden lights reflect off the snowflakes, and the quiet stillness of the night creates pure magic.

Winter weddings bring a unique charm, from cozy candlelit ceremonies to breathtaking nighttime photos in the snow. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels like a winter fairytale, let’s make it happen!

A big shoutout to Rev. Rachel Tatge for another heartfelt ceremony! Here's what one of our recent couples had to say:

"Rev. Rachel was amazing. She made us feel comfortable and got to know us as individuals and a couple. When she sent us the written version of our ceremony, I had tears of happiness. While we got to choose what she said, the way it was put together was perfect for my husband and me. Working with Koru Ceremony, and Rachel was WONDERFUL. I would not change anything about our experience."

Thank you for trusting Koru Ceremony to be part of your special day. We're so grateful to create moments that bring joyful tears and lasting memories.
If you're looking for a meaningful, personalized ceremony, we'd love to help!

Autumn wedding ceremonies feel like they are painted by nature herself. As couples say 'I do' against a backdrop of amber leaves and rich, earthy tones, we are always in awe of how autumn enhances the beauty and emotion of the day. Grateful to be part of these moments and witness love unfold in this breathtaking season.

This couple’s genuine emotions truly captivated everyone present! They embraced each moment of their special day, fully engaged, immersed in the experience, and fun to be around. The Ivy House in Milwaukee provided a breathtaking, modern backdrop that beautifully complemented their enchanting presence. It was an unforgettable celebration brimming with emotion!

Couple’s Review: "Rev. Pat was amazing! She made it so easy to plan a unique ceremony perfect for us. She gave us many options to choose from, making the ceremony feel so personal. Pat was wonderful to bounce ideas off of and made the day of stress-free. She took care of everything regarding the marriage license after the ceremony and gave us information on how to change my name after. You can tell Pat not only cares about making the wedding ceremony seamless but also cares about her couples' and wants their relationships to last."
