We are so excited to be featured on Wisconsin Bride! Check out the story!
When you mention beer, bacon, and Bucky, you're more likely to think Wisconsin Badgers tailgate and less likley that of a happy couple's elegant union of love. However, once you see the amazing pictures of Vicki and Matt's wedding captured by Appleby Photography, you'll never think the same of those three words again.
The couple met in a beer bar and fell in love over their craft pints. Not ones for fussy affairs, Vicki and Matt knew that brews had to be a part of their big day. While some couples might simply have a beer specially brewed for the occasion, Vicki and Matt went all out, weaving the beer theme into just about every detail of their day. Our favorite? The bouquets and boutonnieres featuring hops and wheat--two base ingredients for many beers. But that certainly isn't all. See the amazing pairing job they pulled off...
From the bride:
When planning our wedding, Matt and I had three goals: Make sure that everyone has fun, eat good food, and drink good beer. I think it’s fair to say we accomplished all three.
Neither one of us are stuffy ballroom types, so we were looking for a relaxed atmosphere for our reception. We’re both beer nerds, and met at a beer bar. So, when I found out there was a new brewery opening in Verona that would have an event space, it was a natural choice. Besides hosting our reception at a brewery, we incorporated our love of beer in small ways, too–hops in the bouquet and boutonnieres, coasters as placecards, beer boot toasting glasses, wheat and barley centerpieces, and a beer crate card box. We also included our favorite beer festival food–bacon on a stick, which proved to be a huge hit with our guests.
Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. It was filled with love, laughter, good friends and family, and great food and beer. And Bucky.
