An Elegant, Formal Wedding a The Club at Hillbrook in Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Nicole Hadbavny (28 and a merchandiser) and Will Murphy (28 and a marketing director) paired timeless, neutral hues with metallic accents for a romantic garden party that felt both elegant and relaxed.

Friends since middle school, Nicole and Will went their separate ways for college but stayed in touch, and their love blossomed during a study abroad trip to Australia. Though living out of state, they wanted to honor their roots by saying “I do” in their hometown. “It was so meaningful to be married in the place where our relationship first began,” Nicole says.

Classic linens, a variety of white blooms, free-flowing greenery and soft candlelight echoed the natural beauty of the outdoor space. A custom swing crafted from repurposed barn wood was adorned with blooms and suspended high above the head table as an eye-catching focal point.
