Hi everyone!

It's been a long time (7 months! wow). Something about being pregnant and having a baby takes a lot out of you ;)

Getting back into the swing of things today with a post about my current *favorite* trend- lush weddings in raw spaces. There's something about the mix of old & new, soft & hard that makes factory weddings or weddings in "rough" spaces so goshdarnbeautiful. I've always been fascinated by old, decaying buildings, and I think that's why I love the idea of hosting a gilded event in an airy old space with lots of brick and windows. Love it.

Inspiration from around the inter-web:


OHIO BRIDES: you're in luck. There are a couple of cool venues in the area to help you with this look. As always, contact the venues for the most up to date information and pricing!

 The Lake Erie Building (also known as the Screw Factory), Lakewood, OH

This space is so cool. Raw, industrial, urban. Lots of windows, tall ceilings and just such a cool space.

3. 78th Street Studios, Cleveland

A lot of cool spaces to host private events small to big. Rates vary by studio chosen: SmARTspace at 78th is probably the biggest (dinner seating is 250). Rates are listed on the website. A true DIY space, perfect for the creative Bride.


4. The Wooltex Gallery, Cleveland

A super cool space- lots of brick and big windows.
