Enchanting October Wedding | Kayla & Steven

Kayla and Steven’s Ohio wedding was a breathtaking, enchanting, early October celebration, blending rich hues and soft romantic drapery. With an outdoor ceremony set against the fall foliage and stunning weather, their day was an autumnal dream.

How They Met

Kayla and Steven’s love story began in an unexpected place—the prison where they both worked. When their paths first crossed, Steven wasted no time making an impression. Spotting Kayla wearing a Steelers mask, he walked up and said, “You okay? I know a good therapist if you need one.” Confused, she could only respond with a puzzled “What?” Steven replied, “Well, I noticed you’re wearing a Steelers mask and figured you needed a therapist.” Kayla shot back, “Let me guess, you’re a Browns fan?” But Steven had a trick up his sleeve. “I’m a Patriots fan,” he grinned. Kayla scoffed, “That’s even worse.” And with that, she walked away—but the spark had been lit.

It wasn’t long before fate (and a little matchmaking) stepped in. A coworker, Hunter, noticed their interactions and decided to nudge them along. Dropping hints to both Kayla and Steven, he planted the idea that they were already interested in each other—without them even realizing it. By the time they uncovered his playful meddling, they had already shared their first date at the enchanting Zoo Lights, marking the beginning of something truly special. Steven’s proposal would eventually come during a family photo session, catching Kayla completely off guard.

An Elegant Autumn Ceremony

Held in the open grass, Kayla and Steven’s ceremony was nothing short of enchanting. A wooden arbor stood at the front, draped in flowing pink and purple fabric, adorned with asymmetrical floral arrangements of soft blue and crisp white blooms. The contrast of the romantic drapery against the sleek runway in the background made for a striking and unforgettable setting.

Kayla was the epitome of timeless beauty in an A-line lace wedding dress. The sweetheart neckline and illusion long sleeves, adorned with delicate floral appliqués, added an ethereal touch, while her sweeping train completed the vision of elegance. Her bridesmaids complemented her look in mismatched mauve dresses, creating a dreamy, autumnal aesthetic.

Steven and his groomsmen exuded classic sophistication in black suits with crisp white boutonnieres and deep blue ties. Standing beside his best friends, Steven’s anticipation was palpable as he watched Kayla make her way down the aisle.

The florals were a stunning mix of blush, purple, and burgundy, echoing the enchanting warmth of the season. As they exchanged vows beneath the arbor, surrounded by their closest family and friends, the setting sun cast a golden glow.
