Chelsea and Shamus nixed the wedding traditions that they felt didn’t authentically embody their personalities for their celebration at Strongwater Food & Spirits – a restaurant, bar, and industrial event space in a century old warehouse in the heart of downtown Columbus. The super cool urban warehouse aesthetic featured gorgeous natural light, exposed brick, and rustic metal framework that was the perfect setting for their authentic and intimate celebration of tacos and tandem bicycles. A florist herself, the bride made and designed all of the lush blooms in shades of bright red, coral, and pale pink provided by her shop, Flowerman, and created the stunning hanging macramé installations throughout the venue. The Little Donut Shop created the teeny-tiny wedding cake and decadent donut spread that completed this whimsical and creative reception. The bride’s casual bohemian Show Me Your Mumu bell-sleeve wedding dress and fashionable groom’s fun floral tie from Dazi, the perfect look for a couple happy to run, jump, and cycle around the city following their nuptials, which was captured so beautifully by Candacelynn Photography.
