A Vibrant Lakeside Ceremony at Cedar Lakes Estate

Emily and Andy were married on a beautiful June day at Cedar Lakes Estate, with a celebration that felt intimate, colorful, and deeply personal. Their one-day wedding began with preparations at a nearby hotel, followed by a ceremony rehearsal and relaxed lunch with their wedding party before transitioning to the estate. The couple shared an emotional first look and portraits throughout the property, capturing the lush early-summer landscape.

Guests were welcomed with a vibrant “fancy punch” upon arrival, setting the tone for the day and tying seamlessly into the floral design. The lakeside ceremony—officiated by the groom’s father—featured a bright, floral-forward chuppah that popped against the surrounding greenery. Cocktail hour showcased a wine bottle seating display, a nod to the couple’s love of wine, while the reception continued the use of color with cheerful tablescapes set against the barn’s rich wood interior. The overall celebration felt warm, joyful, and heartfelt—an authentic reflection of Emily and Andy.
