Dreaming of an outdoor reception under the stars? 🌟 We love it!
Make your alfresco celebration unforgettable with these top tips:
1. Weather-proof your plans: Always have a backup plan (hello, elegant tent!) and offer cozy blankets or parasols for guests’ comfort.
2. Light up the night: Create magic with string lights, lanterns, or candles to set the mood as the sun sets.
3. Embrace nature’s decor: Use the landscape to your advantage - think floral arches, tree-hanging installations, or scenic backdrops.

If you’re a foodie and planning your wedding, you are going to want to read this ⤵️
Many couples assume buffets are the budget-friendly option, but here’s the twist: buffet and plated dinners often come with a similar price tag! 💰
Here’s why:
🍽️ Buffet = More food, less service
🍽️ Plated = Less food, more service
Buffets require more food because you can’t always control the portions that guests are going to take and you have to err on the safe side. And plated requires less food because you know the exact amounts for each plate.
The costs balance out, leaving you free to choose based on your style and guests’ preferences, not just your wallet! 💖
What’s your preferred dinner style at an event? Buffet or plated? Let us know in the comments! 👇

We’ve been in hundreds, maybe even thousands of wedding venues over the years, and one of the most popular questions we get asked is, “Where should we get married?” 🤔
Well, today we’re shining a spotlight on 5 amazing venues right here in Ohio that’ll make you swoon! 😍
1️⃣ Cleveland Museum of Art: More than 44,000 square feet of special event spaces, with our favorite being The Ames Family Atrium. With soaring, three- story-high ceilings, and accents of foliage-filled planters, the atrium is the most stunning blank slate.
2️⃣ Spice Acres: Tucked inside Cuyahoga Valley National Park, this venue celebrates seasonal bounty and sustainable practices amidst lush natural surroundings.
3️⃣ Tenk West Bank: A marvel of modernity, this renovated 1980s warehouse in the Flats effortlessly combines urban vibrancy with an eco-friendly mindset.
4️⃣ The Club at Hillbrook: A serene escape nestled in Chagrin Falls, where luxury meets eco-consciousness across 50 acres of tranquil splendor.
5️⃣ Truss: A rooftop venue on the ninth floor of INTRO Cleveland, providing a contemporary space with the most amazing cityscape views!
Whether you have a venue booked or are just starting to explore, we are here to help!

Nadia and Chris had the most stunning day at Truss, one of Cleveland’s newest wedding venues. 😍
There was so much love and joy all throughout the day, but our favorite detail was probably the floral installation over the dance floor...

It’s not all peonies and fabric swatches when it comes wedding planning (though we DID select linens for one of clients this week)...
But this is also why we’re here- to provide support and expertise for you from the very beginning of your planning process.
We’ll be there for the meetings- even when they’re out of town- and as you can see, we will even take care of scheduling them!
We’ll work closely with you to develop an event budget and wedding design, including things like providing you with a narrowed down selection of linen options, and going over quotes from your floral designer.
We’ll provide you with customized referrals for the very best wedding professionals for your budget, style, and personality, gathering information, availability, and pricing before you even know they exist. 😉
And yes, of course we’ll handle tons more of tasks, including timelines, vendor confirmations... #allthethings.
It’s no small feat to plan a wedding, and there are many moving pieces involved. Our main goal is to make the planning process laid back and easy for you.
If all that sounds great to you, then let’s chat!

In the spirit of Earth Day this week, let’s talk about planning an Earth-friendly, sustainable wedding! 🌎💍
1️⃣ Hire Sustainable Professionals: Begin your journey by teaming up with green-hearted professionals. Seek out vendors who are champions of sustainability, with eco-certifications and practices that prioritize our environment. From reducing waste to embracing climate-friendly strategies, they’ll help you craft an event that’s beautiful in both aesthetics and ethics.
2️⃣ Embrace Recycling and Upcycling: Picture this: turning beloved family heirlooms into unique décor, choosing recycled paper for your invitations, and giving your guests favors they can savor or plant. Blend old with new and rent attire or accessories, and of course opt for renting decor items too.
3️⃣ Opt for Local & Seasonal: Opt for local and seasonal items to reduce the environmental impact of transportation and storage, which also supports the local economy and budget. Local flower farms are our favorite!
4️⃣ Rethink Your Menu: Satisfy your guests’ palates by sourcing local and seasonal delights will reduce carbon ‘foodprint’, but also celebrates your own backyard, nourishing guests and local businesses alike. Aim for zero waste by exploring sustainable methods of clean-up and serving. Your special day’s feast can be a testament to your commitment to the planet, with every bite reminding your guests of the natural beauty that surrounds us.
5️⃣ Offset Your Carbon Footprint: Even with the greenest of intentions, weddings leave a footprint. You can take steps to offset this by investing in carbon offset programs. These initiatives work to balance the scales, developing projects that keep our air cleaner and our future brighter. 🌱✨
At Oak + Honey, we believe your big day can make a big difference and still be absolutely stunning! Together, let’s walk towards a future where every wedding is a toast to our earth’s health and happiness.
Can’t imagine getting married without your best furriend? We understand! We’ve worked with a lot of couples who want to include their dog in the ceremony or photos.
So that there are no surprises, here are a few things to remember about having a pet included in your wedding day:
🐾 Choose a venue that welcomes your four-legged friend. From charming gardens to rustic barns, we’ll help you find the perfect spot where your best furriend can share in your special day.
🐾 Enlist a trusted friend or professional pet handler to take care of your dog’s needs during the ceremony and reception. This way, you can focus on saying ‘I do’ while your best furriend steals the show with their adorable antics.
🐾 Do a dress rehearsal. If you plan to dress your dog in style, have a practice run before the big day to ensure comfort and cuteness.
Do you plan to include your dog in your special day? 🐶💍
