Bonnie & Jack’s epic New Year’s Eve celebration was the perfect way to close out 2022 and ring in 2023! Like, the perfect way.
Oh my gosh, it was so fun!
You’ll quickly see that Bonnie & Jack are two of the most infectiously kind and loving people you’ll ever meet. It’s no wonder that these two lovebirds immediately hit it off one fateful night on the UNL college campus.
Bonnie & Jack completely lucked out with the most beautiful day for their New Year’s Eve wedding. They each got ready at Carriage Club before their first look in a private little corner of the property. B&J and their wedding party spend the afternoon basking in the sun at the Nelson-Atkins Museum before heading to St. Andrews for the ceremony. Bag pipers welcomed guests as they entered the candlelit sanctuary. And then after the ceremony, Bonnie & Jack gave their guests a taste of the fun to come with their ceremony sparkler sendoff!
The newlyweds truly expressed themselves in their stunning gem tone-inspired reception decor. Individual mirror balls led guests to their tables draped with rich fabrics and covered with stunning floral arrangements. But the real showstopper? Their balloon chandelier and LED dance floor! I sincerely hope this isn’t the last light-up dance floor I see at a wedding 🙂 And if that wasn’t enough to entice B&J’s guests, DJ Hydan helped fill the dance floor until (and after!) the stroke of midnight.
I can’t wait to show you some of my favorite moments from this epic day!
A HUGE thank you to the team that made this day spectacular!
