“I literally couldn’t be any happier! I’m so happy right now.” Lilly said with the sweetest smile as she took a deep breath, soaking in every moment of her wedding day. Surrounded by her closest family and friends, marrying the love of her life, Alex—this was the day she had always dreamed of. 🌿💍

Lilly & Alex’s wedding at The Hawthorne House in Kansas City was the perfect blend of timeless romance and heartfelt celebration. From the lush green florals to the joyful atmosphere, every detail came together beautifully. The Hawthorne House is one of my favorite Kansas City wedding venues because it offers the perfect mix of classic elegance and garden charm, and this summer wedding was truly magical.
