McKenzi and Alex’s classic black-and-white wedding celebration was a masterclass in intentional detail, blending elegance with playful, personal touches. The festivities began with a breathtaking ceremony at the Jewel Box, where the architecture provided a stunning backdrop for the couple’s “I dos.”

The bride, McKenzi, was a vision of modern romance in a gown from Mia Grace Bridal, featuring trend-setting puff sleeves and a dramatic bow. This chic aesthetic carried through to the reception, where guests were treated to a truly interactive experience. To ensure the night was unforgettable, The Small Moments Too was on-site to provide personalized favors, giving everyone a custom keepsake to take home. Every element of the day was curated to mirror their unique joy, right down to the custom pup-themed cupcakes and a matching cake topper. We are so happy for the new Mr. and Mrs.—congratulations, McKenzi and Alex!
