how we transformed their vision into reality
A Destination Wedding Without the Travel
Stephanie, originally from Hawaii, dreamed of a wedding that captured the essence of her beloved home island. Although they were celebrating in Louisville, Zach and Stephanie wanted their guests to feel like they had been transported to a tropical paradise. The Louisville Water Tower, with its stunning riverfront location and historic charm, provided the perfect venue for this unique and vibrant celebration.
Tropical Splendor: The Floral Design
The floral arrangements were the heart of this Hawaiian-themed wedding. Michaelis Events used an array of tropical flowers to create lush, vibrant displays that perfectly captured the spirit of the islands. Monstera leaves, Calla Lilies, and other exotic blooms adorned the ceremony and reception spaces, transforming the historic venue into a tropical oasis.
One of the standout elements was Stephanie’s floral head dress, a stunning piece created in place of a traditional veil. This unique accessory added a personal and beautiful touch to her bridal look, making her feel like a Hawaiian princess on her special day.
A Ceremony by the River
The ceremony took place on the picturesque riverfront, with the gentle sounds of the water providing a serene and romantic backdrop. The couple exchanged vows beneath a floral arch adorned with tropical blooms, surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends. The natural beauty of the setting, combined with the vibrant florals, created an enchanting atmosphere that felt both intimate and grand.
A Reception Full of Hawaiian Vibes
Following the ceremony, guests moved inside the historic Louisville Water Tower for the reception. The space was beautifully transformed with tropical decor, featuring rattan chargers, antique chinaware, and gold matte flatware that added elegance to the rustic mahogany farm tables. Fresh rosemary sprigs tucked into gold napkin rings provided a fragrant and delightful touch to each place setting.
A highlight of the reception was the Kona Hawaiian ice truck, a nod to Stephanie’s roots and a fun, interactive element for guests to enjoy. The cool, refreshing treats were a hit, adding an authentic taste of Hawaii to the celebration.
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
The highlight of the event was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the official opening of Comprehensive Cell Solutions’ new headquarters. Healthcare industry leaders took the stage to share their insights and celebrate this significant milestone. The energy and excitement were palpable as the ribbon was cut, symbolizing new beginnings and future success.
Lab Tours and Networking
A Feast for the Senses
The culinary team at Michaelis Events crafted a menu that was as flavorful as it was beautiful, perfectly aligning with the Hawaiian theme. Guests were treated to a plated meal with three delectable entrée choices:
