Gabrielle and Joseph’s wedding at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art blended romantic whimsy with timeless sophistication, beginning with a lush garden ceremony in front of Kansas City’s iconic museum. Inspired by Gabrielle’s love of LoveShackFancy details and the elegance of Bridgerton, the celebration paired layered florals, soft candlelight, playful patterns, and fashion-forward design moments throughout the cocktail hour and reception. Thoughtful personal touches were woven into the design, including a custom elephant topiary as a nod to the university where the couple first met. The evening felt artful, immersive, and deeply personal while still honoring the grandeur and beauty of the historic setting.
