When Brynden described how she wanted her wedding day to feel, she used the terms classic & elegant. But she was clear that it was a winter wedding, not Christmas!
This New Years weekend wedding ticked all the boxes to make her dream become a reality. It started at the Broadway downtown where the couple each had a beautiful suite to have hair, makeup, and enjoy cocktails with breakfast treats.
The ceremony was in the stunning Stephens Firestone Baars Chapel. Designed by renowned Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, designer of the St. Louis Arch, this venue has beautiful stained glass windows and doors, a 19th century pipe organ.
After the ceremony, the party moved to the Country Club of Missouri where a plated meal along with speeches and dancing. It was a special night for the locals as the Mizzou Tigers were competing in the Cotton Bowl and this couple along with their families were big football fans. Watching the final of the game together was a highlight of their evening as they celebrated a bowl game win.
The final event of the evening was a private last dance. This is one of my favorite events to end an evening as we remove everyone from the ballroom and allow the couple to privately have a last dance together for the evening. It's an intimate and quiet time for them to close out their amazing wedding day.
I hope you enjoy this full highlight film of Bryden & Jack's amazing wedding day. This video goes down as one of current favorites.
