One way to get the attention of a smart, beautiful girl? Be the class clown!
It may not work for everyone, but when Mac transferred into a class her freshman year of college and found herself amused by Taylor, the reigning class clown… the rest was history.
After 10 years together, the couple celebrated their relationship milestone in stunning Hawaii, where Mac surprised Taylor by popping the question on a cliffside exploration. She said “YES!” and they came home excited to plan their wedding and the next season of life together.
The couple’s wedding planning was driven by their desire to create a unique blend of modern and vintage touches, giving a nod to the theme of love stories throughout their décor and details. Everyone especially loved the seating chart display constructed of stacked vintage books that Taylor curated!
Taylor + Mac found Sapphire Creek Winery to be the perfect location for their big day, and our team was thrilled with how seamlessly the onsite venue team worked with us to execute a flawless wedding day experience for the couple.
It was a hot day in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, so we made sure the overheating bride was taken care of during the steamy pre-wedding photos and worked our magic to create some last-minute timeline adjustments to give her a chance to change as quickly as possible after the ceremony.
We were thrilled to recommend a stationer, Rose Gold Studios, to bring Taylor + Mac’s romantic love story vision to life with tiny, perfect details, like the customized tasseled bookmarks with each guest’s seating assignment featured on them. (What a perfect take-home gift guests could actually use and treasure!)
It was a romantic, gorgeous wedding full of stunning florals, perfect details, and thoughtful design. Each and every vendor was helpful, talented, and happy to help bring together the beautiful wedding design for an absolutely lovely couple.
When we asked Taylor + Mac for their wedding planning advice for couples who are currently (or soon to be) planning their own weddings, they shared these wise words:
“Wedding planning can feel like a lot of details, but working closely with your wedding planner can give you a sounding board for many of the details or ideas you have. A good planner (like Melanie!) has the expertise to provide the structure and guidance you need to bring it all to life.”
They also encouraged couples to “Trust your gut with your vision and ideas, but also practice flexibility and trust!”
Cheers to an intentional, head-over-heels in love couple – Taylor and Mac! We were honored to be your planning partner throughout the wedding process and wow did your detailed, personalized Sapphire Creek Winery wedding turn out to be one for the books!
If you’re starting the wedding planning process yourself, we’d love to help you follow Taylor + Mac’s advice to trust an experienced wedding planner and be your sounding board for all your ideas and wedding day inspiration. Let’s tell your beautiful love story!
