Introduction
On June 1, 2024, Catherine and Dalton tied the knot at the beautiful Swan Lake Event Center in Powell, Ohio. Their day was nothing short of magical, filled with elegant touches, sentimental details, and a fun-filled celebration with family and friends. With perfect sunny weather setting the stage, their wedding was a stunning start to their forever.
Today’s blog is LOADED with Spring wedding inspiration, a top tier vendor list and plenty of details to inspire any bride in their wedding planning!
From the moment they arrived, the excitement was in the air as the bride and bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done on-site, while the groom and his groomsmen prepared for the big day.
Catherine and Dalton exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony at Swan Lake. Surrounded by loved ones, under the gold hoop arch, framed by lush greenery. The serene outdoor setting made for a heartfelt and memorable moment before they were whisked away for private bride and groom portraits around the venue’s beautiful grounds.
Catherine looked radiant in a sequin and pearl-beaded gown that sparkled in the summer sunlight. Her bridesmaids complemented her in blush pink gowns, adding a soft and romantic feel to the day. Dalton and his groomsmen kept things classic and sharp with black-tie attire, creating a polished and sophisticated look. The couple’s vision of elegance carried throughout the entire wedding design, from their attire to the décor.
Guests gathered on the outdoor patio beside the serene Swan Lake pond. They sipped on signature cocktails, including The Finn and The Bailey, while enjoying a delicious spread of appetizers. With the sun shining and a relaxed atmosphere, it was the perfect way to kick off the evening before everyone made their way into the reception.
Personal touches were woven throughout the day, making the wedding feel even more special. The couple’s custom bar cups featured their names and a sketch of their beloved pups, Finn and Bailey. Their signature cocktails were also named after their dogs—The Finn, a refreshing Moscow mule, and The Bailey, an electric lemonade. As a sweet parting gift, guests were treated to mini jars of cookie dough, a unique and delicious favor that added a fun twist to their wedding day keepsakes.

Each place setting included gold beaded chargers, gold flatware, blush pink napkins, and a white thank-you card from the couple.
For dessert, Catherine and Dalton had a stunning tiered white cream cake adorned with delicate blush roses. Their dessert table also included chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate-covered pretzels for guests to indulge in. As the dance floor filled up with energy thanks to Josh Staley DJ, the couple surprised their guests with a late-night popcorn bar—because who doesn’t love a good snack while dancing the night away?
As the night went on, Catherine surprised everyone with a chic outfit change, slipping into a short mini dress with floral appliques—perfect for dancing the night away. When it was finally time to say goodbye, guests gathered outside to send the newlyweds off in style with a sparkler sendoff, creating a picture-perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
