5.27.18

Joanna and Jared celebrated their one-year anniversary about a month ago, but here at the Pearl, we are still obsessing over their gorgeously curated and beautifully styled classic wedding. The hands of many wonderful vendors, family and friends worked together to bring Joanna's vision to life at our Pearl District Building, and we are still in awe of how seamlessly it all came together.

So much thought and effort were put into this special day, and we could not be more excited to finally share it with you. Happy ONE YEAR, Joanna and Jared!

"I didn't use a florist but instead ordered all of my fresh greenery through bloomsbythebox.com. My sister-in-law, Bethany Plake, is amazing with floral arrangements, so she did all of my bouquets and boutonnieres." – Joanna

"Integrity Rentals made the process of choosing my plates, glasses, and flatware a breeze and I didn't have to worry about pick up or delivery as it arrived at the venue the day before and it was all picked up the day after." – Joanna

"I would also highly recommend Lindsey Hightower for hair and makeup. She was fantastic!!! She took my inspiration photo and created exactly what I wanted. She even gave me the lipstick she used to keep, so I could touch it up throughout the day after she left. I could not have been more impressed with how kind she was and how amazing her work was!" – Joanna

"One of my favorite moments from my wedding day would have to be doing a first look in the ceremony space. I loved getting to see him at the altar before it was filled with people watching us. I surprised him with a pair of unique cufflinks made of small overlapping metal gears to wear during the ceremony instead of the ones that came with his suit." – Joanna

"Honestly, before I even found the Pearl District Building, it WAS my vision. I immediately fell in love with all three distinct spaces the building has to offer. I never looked anywhere else, and I think we took home a contract to sign that same day." – Joanna

Joanna had some good advice for brides and future brides: "IF you have very supportive family and friends that understand your vision for your big day, LET THEM HELP YOU. The best thing I did for myself on my wedding day was to step back and trust that our families, friends, and vendors were more than capable of making my vision come to life. I was not disappointed in the slightest.

"Everyone came together and created the wedding of my dreams, while I got to relax and get ready. As stressful as planning the wedding was, I can honestly say I had the most peaceful and relaxing wedding day imaginable. If anything went wrong during set up, I had no idea about it because I chose not to hover and everything turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined."
