A Modern Rainy-Day Wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate

Carly and Brian’s late September wedding weekend at Cedar Lakes Estate was filled with warmth, energy, and heartfelt moments. The celebration began with a lively welcome party featuring live entertainment and moody purple and blue floral arrangements that set a rich, romantic tone for the weekend. Guests enjoyed an evening of mingling, dinner, and dancing before waking the next morning to lakeside yoga on the Great Lawn, followed by a spirited pickleball tournament and property-wide scavenger hunt. Meanwhile, Carly and her wedding party prepared for the day, and Carly and Brian shared a quiet, emotional first look together.

When weather shifted plans for their mountaintop ceremony, a rolling fog enveloped the landscape—creating unforgettable photo moments and an atmosphere all its own. Vendors seamlessly pivoted, moving the ceremony indoors, where guests were welcomed into a warm and intimate setting. Cocktail hour and the reception unfolded in the barn, where custom lighting installations above the guest tables created a romantic, modern glow. Clean, neutral floral centerpieces paired with stone table numbers and curated art panels, used as the band backdrop, added a sophisticated, personal touch. As the night continued, guests danced beneath spinning disco balls on the treehouse deck, rounding out a chic and joyful celebration that proved a little rain can only add to the magic.
