5•31•24 | Ashley + Erik💛

Our last official Spring wedding was so beautiful! This couple stepped outside of the box in a few awesome ways…

•They took pictures at Glick Park with the gorgeous Highland Garden Club’s spring flower display
•Erik’s family visited his Brothers memorial tree🪽
•They cut banana bread because they joke that Ashely’s banana bread is what “hooked him” in college
•We loved the subtle draping in the West Hall. We’ve never seen that done before, thanks to
Forever&Always by BlackBox Events!

Thank you for choosing us to celebrate your special day with!

If Barbie were a bride, it would be this gorgeous girl! Her makeup artist came all the way from Nashville TN to give her the royal treatment & WOW was it perfect! Click the link at the bottom to watch her transformation. It has almost 237,000 likes😳

This couple was big on not having a traditional wedding. Porsha’s mom was one of her bridesmaids, which was so sweet. Especially when she gifted her bouqet💐

We loved the bridal party entrance & first dance where all guests gathered around to watch. Thank you for choosing to share your special day with us! We wish you a lifetime of happiness🥂

What a fun wedding & crew! You can tell by the pictures this group knew how to have a good time.

We loved this color scheme in our main hall, so soft and elegant. The blue really made Brookes eyes pop even more than they already do!

We have never seen anyone sign quilt squares as their guest book. Such a fun / unique keep sake you can pass on for generations. Love this idea!

Once again they used some of our local preferred vendors who did an AMAZING job!👏🏼

Forever&Always by BlackBox Events nailed it on their displays. Cassey and crew are so creative, they’ll take your vision to the next level. We love having them as our Preferred Vendor, as they always highlight our venue spaces and create that “WOW!” factor you’re looking for.

From Cassey:
“Always a pleasure to be apart of The Olde Wicks Factory wedding show! Forever&Always appreciates the opportunity to showcase our design in every room and boy did we have some fun. Thanks to Wicks and all the brides and couples that reached out and are willing to let BlackBox make your visions come true.

West Hall: Moody Romance 🖤 We wanted to demonstrate the dark accents while bring out the gorgeous jewel tones for a pop of color. 🥰Starting to be a personal favorite theme!

Grand Hall: Fairytale Garden 🧚🌷Just love the brightness of the room and wanted to bring in themes for spring and summer with a twist on bud vases. Was even excited to test out a new napkin fold too 🎀😊

Outside patio: Ceremony site. Trying to showcase the beautiful music that was being played and wanted to demonstrate something modest for the ceremony arbor.

Main Hall: We wanted to bring unique and one of a kind table setting into this location while demonstrating a different theme for each table and ways you can show case our inventory to your visions.

Just love the endless possibilities we can bring to your event all you have to do is ask 😊😊

💕Forever&Always by BBE”

Just catching our breath after a couple of busy days getting ready for our Summer Wedding Show. 😅

This is going to be 1 of 2 posts because it’s hard to get everything in one! And this post deserves its own, thanks to Darin from Dear Hart Photograghy, and all of the amazing, professional photos he took. Specifically there for Kim from Elegant Brides and the beautiful dresses she was showcasing on the runway, he was also able to get some great shots of our Grand Hall upstairs and our West Hall Courtyard!

Let us know if you would like to schedule a tour — we’d be happy to show you around!

Well that’s pretty neat! It was so hard to pick, but we submitted 3 of our favorite weddings to Stl Bride Magazine. Ali & Matthew’s wedding is one of 31 that was featured in the newest Fall/Winter 2024 edition, courtesy of Pancho3 and his amazing eye and talent for capturing those special moments! 📸

What made it even more exciting is that a total FIVE of our favorite Preferred Vendors (Pancho3, An Affair To Remember, Cygan- Delaney Catering, Covered in Chocolate Bistro Bakery and Catering, and Porta Party DJs) were also named in the Real Moments Article!

Coincidentally and conveniently, four of these preferred vendors will be at our wedding show on Thursday, June 27th from 4:30 to 8:30 PM so you can check them out — admission is FREE!

Here’s a little blast from the past from FIVE years ago (WOW)?!?! Crazy to look back on the “before” pics and see what our Gatsby Room looked like back then. (The first few photos were the Inspo pics from Pinterest)

📣 Shoutout to our “Dream Team” who still helps us out on projects, and we continue to have “Liquid Ideas, Liquid Decisions,” many of which start right here in the Gatsby Room! 🥃🍷🍹🍺 It’s by far, everyone’s favorite space at the OWF!

If you’d like to see the Gatsby Room in person, join us this Thursday night (6/27) from 4:30 to 8:30 PM for our Wedding Show / Open House — FREE Admission!

5•4•24 | Shawn + Annelise🤍

What a perfect Spring wedding! We had a few scares with the weather, but it ended up being a beautiful day to celebrate this sweet couple!

Annelise and her mom spent months planning & making all of their centerpieces, arbor pieces, and more. She had every detail perfectly planned!

We loved that Ivory Grove Photo + Video found different / unique places to take pictures than other photographers have before & love all of the shots she took of our building. We highly recommend her!

We love being able to recommend our “Preferred Vendors” to help take the stress out of your Big Day! Depending on the size of your guest list, one of the VIPs that can make your day smooth & stress-free is a Day of Coordinator (DoC)! 📝

We provide a Venue Coordinator for the day who specifically deals with anything Venue or Vendor related, but the DoC is there for every specific detail that is Wedding & Reception related.

We highly recommend Effortless Events by Lauren - Day of event coordinator/Decorator from personal experience, as she helped with Shannon’s Wedding back in 10•10•2020 🤍

Not gonna lie, I actually teared up while going through this gallery… You can feel the love these two & their parents have for one another. Seriously, such a great group of family and friends at this wedding!

Kayla was such a sweet and thoughtful bride. Checkout the gifts she got her parents and MOH.. She even hand wrote us a sweet letter the day of the wedding🥹

We also loved that they used a lot of our preferred vendors & kept it local!

📸 Ivy Bell did an amazing job per usual, and captured some really special moments! We loved the sky with our building in the background as well. https://www.ivybellandcompany.com

3•9•24 | McKenzie + Matt🖤

What a fun and organized couple. They knew exactly what they wanted and it turned out PERFECT! It really was one of the most beautiful DIY weddings we’ve seen.

McKenzie and her mom created all of their beautiful centerpieces, including cutting the runners for the tables, the large blocks with their pictures on them(which we LOVED), and even the faux granite block behind the dessert table was made out of a foam board (which they let us keep)!🫶

There were so many fun / unique aspects to their wedding day! One of our favorites was the bride’s veil / cape…isn’t it gorgeous?? Matt loves Lord of the Rings, so she said it was inspired by that! Also guests were greeted by the Lord of the Rings sound track when they arrived.

Thank you both for choosing us to host your special day. We hope to see you back soon!🥂✨

The most beautiful garden / fairytale wedding! There were so many things we LOVED about this day.

• First the bride & groom are just genuinely the sweetest, most caring individuals
• This ceremony space was . It was a first for the stage & it definitely added something new and fun to the decor!
• When she walked down the stairs, both Coordinator Cassie, and Owner Jennifer teared up because she was STUNNING and did it perfectly
•The cream & purple accents in the reception hall were done so tastefully. We loved the look of the head table!
•The fog for the first dance was a fun touch as well!

We could go on and on, but it wouldn’t have been possible without their amazing vendors:

Conner + Jordan | 4•20•24🤍

The best way to describe this couple and day, is timeless. Connor and her decor looked absolutely perfect. The black and white accents were so elegant & will definitely be in style for ages.

•We loved their first dance in the center of the reception hall for everyone to see.

•How beautifully emotional they were, especially Conner coming down the stairs had us all choked up🥹

•Their water front pictures were gorgeous! Silver lake is less than 2 miles away, for any of our couples that are wanting to leave the property for a few shots.

We sincerely enjoyed working with both of you & your sweet families. We wish you nothing but happiness! Thank you for choosing us 🫶
