We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated 2026 Wed Society St. Louis Wedding of the Year! This fan-favorite celebration competed against 7 standout weddings on Instagram Stories and ultimately captured hearts with its unforgettable details and the showstopping talent of our incredible local vendors. Up next, this winning St. Louis wedding will move on to be considered for Wed Society’s National Wedding of the Year 2026. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted, to our inspiring couple, and to the dream team of creatives who brought this unforgettable wedding vision to life!
The day’s design was a study in “more is more,” executed with absolute precision. The reception took place under the classical architecture of the World’s Fair Pavilion, providing a neutral, stony canvas for their vivid decor. The floral design was daring, featuring oversized, ethereal fabric poppies suspended above the bar to create a dreamlike canopy that became the cocktail hour’s focal point.
Attention to detail was paramount, with every element serving as a touchpoint for the couple’s story. Fête Society curated a suite of custom elements that brought a personal touch to every corner of the venue—from the bar menu and custom cocktail napkins to the “B+J” monogrammed cups. One distinctive detail was the custom tambourines at each place setting, which doubled as both decor and high-energy instruments on the dance floor.
The tablescapes were a masterclass in texture. Nuage Design and Zhuzh Rentals provided the stunning linens and napkins, ranging from vibrant citrus-green to deep terracotta. When it came time to merge their cultures on the dance floor, Baylin and Jeremy knew the music had to be perfect. They enlisted Spin Society, who partnered with a Nigerian-British DJ to ensure the playlist was a seamless blend of global sounds.
Reflecting on the celebration, bride Baylin shared: “We loved seeing our friends and family from so many different places and stages of our lives all together on one dance floor. It really was the feeling like, ‘Wow, all of these people will never be in one room together again probably ever—how special this is to have them celebrating us.’
Congratulations to Baylin and Jeremy on this well-deserved honor, and best of luck as they represent St. Louis on the national stage! Their celebration proved that when passion, culture, and high-impact design align, magic happens. None of it would have been possible without the vision of the newlyweds and the extraordinary artistry of St. Louis’ local vendor community—a true dream team whose talent continues to raise the bar for wedding design nationwide.
