Rachael and Peter met in law school and are both currently lawyers so it was only fitting that their wedding venue was an old historic courthouse in Cleveland, Ohio; near Peter’s hometown.

Rachael is an origami designer and created many beautiful personalized touches for their wedding day and one of them gave us a boost of nostalgia with cootie catchers for the guests’ place settings!

Rachael wore a stunning ballgown and cathedral veil from Kleinfeld Bridal that she bought during a trip with her family to New York City – it was one of the most beautiful gowns ever!

The couple’s wedding ceremony was in the courthouse and they were married underneath an arch with handmade cranes that the bride handmade to honor her Japanese heritage.

We decorated their wedding reception to compliment the modern and romantic styling of the old courthouse venue. We utilized lush florals and old accents throughout their table designs.

These two had the most fun wedding with their loved ones and danced all night to amazing throwback 90’s pop and rock hits!
