J & M’s spring wedding at Oakwood Country Club was the perfect blend of tradition, personality, and playful charm. With a style best described as East Coast eclectic, their day was filled with vibrant colors, rich textures, and bold prints that came together in a way that felt both refined and joyfully unexpected. From the moment guests arrived, the celebration radiated warmth and creativity, a true reflection of who J & M are as a couple.
Set against the lush greens of the golf course, their ceremony and reception celebrated both love and place. M’s passion for golf found its way into the day in subtle, delightful ways—from understated golf-inspired details tucked into the design, to the choice of Oakwood Country Club itself as the setting. It was a personal touch that gave the wedding an extra layer of meaning, making the venue feel not only beautiful but deeply connected to their story.
Their eclectic design choices played beautifully against the classic backdrop of the country club. Bold floral arrangements, patterned linens, and vibrant accents created a lively yet elegant atmosphere that transported guests into a world of color and charm. Every corner held something new to admire, each detail carefully chosen to reflect J & M’s personalities and their love for style with a twist.
What made the day most memorable, though, was the way it all felt so true to them. From the quiet moments together on the golf course to the laughter echoing across the reception, J & M’s wedding was a joyful reminder that the best celebrations are the ones that embrace individuality and heart. Oakwood Country Club may have been the backdrop, but the spirit of J & M made it unforgettable.
A HUGE thank you to the team that made this day spectacular!
