Colorful Summer Soirée at Cedar Lakes Estate

Liz and Luke were married during a vibrant July weekend at Cedar Lakes Estate, with a vision centered on celebrating summer through color, texture, and thoughtful design moments woven throughout the property. Their welcome dinner set the tone with ikebana-style floral arrangements and a sculptural entrance installation at the Pavilion, immediately immersing guests in the weekend’s aesthetic. Puzzle favors—designed around the couple’s shared love of puzzling and featuring illustrations of Cedar Lakes’ iconic spaces—offered a personal and playful touch.

The wedding day unfolded as a true weekend experience, beginning with a morning workout led by the bride, followed by a classic camp-style field day and lakeside celebration. The ceremony featured a lush, flower-filled chuppah and layered aisle design, while cocktail hour incorporated a vintage Ford truck as a creative seating chart display. Inside the barn, tables echoed the welcome dinner’s ikebana florals, while a dramatic ceiling installation of greenery and stained-glass panels delivered the weekend’s standout “wow” moment. The entire celebration felt joyful, expressive, and perfectly reflective of Liz and Luke’s vibrant personalities.
