Katie & Brett

A summer wedding in Saukville, WI.

About the Wedding

Katie and Brett’s wedding at Abloom Farm in Saukville, Wisconsin was the perfect example of how to have a wedding that feels both carefree and elegant. The couple transformed the wooded venue into a dreamy rustic event filled with unexpected glamour—complete with disco balls, bubble blowers, and even a few (very welcomed) four-legged party crashers.

The Color Palette: Nature-Inspired, With a Twist

The wedding’s design centered around crisp white and vibrant soft lime, bringing a modern, fresh look to the traditionally rustic venue. The wedding party attire, from the bridesmaids to the groom and groomsmen, took that contemporary style up a notch.

The bridesmaids wore mismatched dresses in an eclectic mix of patterns, colors, and designs, ranging from soft greens and blues to bold pops of hot pink with florals, ruffles, and solids. This variety created a bright, fun aesthetic that felt effortlessly curated rather than overly coordinated.

The Groom's Style: Elevated Casual

Brett embraced a more laid-back take on wedding suiting. Special enough for the big day while light, and neutral enough to bring a relaxed vibe, he wore a tan SuitShop suit without a tie. The earthy, creamy color meshed perfectly with the woodsy setting.

His unique calla lily boutonniere served as surprisingly whimsical detail. To complete the typical flower on the lapel, a bit of greenery dramatically cascaded down from the boutonniere, adding something playful to his otherwise very clean and simple groom outfit. For the finishing touches on the look, he paired his tan suit with a coordinating tan belt and tan-and-cream loafers, creating a cohesive neutral palette that complemented both the natural surroundings.

His groomsmen matched in tan suits and no tie, but they finished the look with brown suspenders and solid brown dress shoes.

The Vibe: Playful Woodland Magic

As guests gathered beneath the trees for the ceremony, the atmosphere felt whimsical from the very beginning. Instead of traditional flower petals, the flower kids walked down the aisle armed with bubble guns, filling the woodland air with floating bubbles and laughter.

The whimsical touch captured the spirit of the day: joyful, relaxed, and completely centered on celebration.

The Decor: Disco Barn

Perhaps the most unforgettable design element of the day was the giant disco ball décor suspended among the trees and around the barn venue. The reflective details caught the sunlight beautifully during the day and transformed into sparkling statement pieces as the evening celebration began.

The contrast between rustic woods and glamorous disco-inspired décor created a look that felt modern, stylish, and unique to Katie and Brett.

The First Dance: Under the Open Sky

Before making their grand entrance into the reception, Katie and Brett shared their first dance outside the barn beneath the open sky. Surrounded by nature, glowing lights, and their closest loved ones, the moment felt intimate and cinematic all at once. It was the perfect transition into an evening filled with music, laughter, and nonstop dancing.

Then Unexpected Guests: Farm Animals

Because no wedding at a farm venue is complete without a little unexpected fun, a couple of cows made an appearance near the dance floor festivities, much to the delight of the guests. The spontaneous moment added yet another layer of personality to a wedding already overflowing with charm and memorable details.

The Recap: A Wedding Full of Personality & Joy

From the bubble guns and disco balls to the waterfall boutonniere and outdoor first dance, every element of Katie and Brett’s wedding reflected who they are as a couple: fun-loving, laid-back, stylish, and uniquely themselves.

The big day proved that elegant and rustic don’t have to compete; they can come together beautifully, especially when paired with a little sparkle and a lot of heart.
