Rachelle and Tanner’s Whimsical Spring Outdoor Wedding in Kansas City, MO
Rachelle and Tanner hosted one of the most fun-filled, joy-packed weddings we’ve ever witnessed—and their love story unfolded like a dream! From the radiant glow on Rachelle’s face to the excitement of driving away in a sleek hot rod with her new husband, every moment of their day at Hawthorne House, an outdoor wedding venue in Kansas City, Missouri was pure magic. Hosted in May, their wedding was a vibrant celebration filled with pops of color, whimsical touches, and unforgettable memories that their guests will be talking about for years to come.
Getting Ready in Style
There’s no better way to prepare for your wedding than doing it onsite in luxurious, comfortable spaces that set the tone for a perfect day. Rachelle and her bridal party kicked off the morning in The Magnolia Room, an expansive and elegant suite designed to make the bride and her closest friends feel pampered and relaxed. With plenty of room to spread out, laughter echoed through the space as the ladies danced and giggled while getting ready. The energy was contagious, and Rachelle’s glowing smile was a testament to the joy she felt in every moment.
Meanwhile, Tanner and his groomsmen had a more laid-back start to the day in The Bradford Room, the second onsite getting-ready suite. As the guys lounged, watched TV, and soaked in the calm before the celebration, they enjoyed the 11 acres of private property that Hawthorne House offers. The relaxed atmosphere allowed Tanner to take in the excitement of the day while spending quality time with his best friends.
A Garden-Inspired Ceremony at the Gazebo
Rachelle and Tanner’s vision of a floral-centered, garden-inspired wedding came to life in the most breathtaking way at the gazebo. Tucked into a charming, tree-lined alcove on the property, the gazebo provided the perfect backdrop for their outdoor ceremony. Clara’s Florals created a stunning display with vibrant blooms and whimsical accents that complemented the natural beauty of the setting. As over 200 of their family and friends gathered to witness their vows, the joy in the air was undeniable.
With the warm breeze of a perfect May afternoon, Rachelle and Tanner exchanged vows surrounded by colorful florals and the love of their closest friends and family. Their ceremony concluded with a joyful petal toss exit, where guests showered them with fresh petals and cheers as they took their first steps as husband and wife.
