There are wedding days that shimmer with beauty—and then there’s Maddie and Major’s. Their spring celebration at the Venue at the Bluffs was one of those unforgettable days where sunshine, floral artistry, and heartfelt words wrapped everything in joy.

From the moment the day began, there was a calm, glowy warmth in the air. Maddie and her bridesmaids gathered in a room full of laughter and light, the bride radiant in a sleek white gown, surrounded by women in vibrant pinks, florals, and rich corals that mirrored the joyful season. Her mom helped with the final touches, buttoning the back of Maddie’s dress while everyone laughed and teared up in equal measure.

The details were filled with intention and beauty. Maddie and her mom poured their hearts into every floral touch—from lush ranunculus and garden roses to petal-soft accents across every table and bouquet. The morning flat lays were a dream: soft silk textiles, delicate pearl earrings, and vow books resting among blooms in shades of blush and coral.

But as with any great love story, a twist arrived—a quick spring shower just before the outdoor ceremony. Without missing a beat, the team pivoted, and guests were ushered into the indoor space, which glowed with twinkle lights and the gentle hum of anticipation. Maddie and Major’s vows were shared beneath soft drapery and romantic florals, making it feel like the universe itself had wrapped them in a soft embrace.

The rest of the day was celebration after celebration. Guests shared stories, toasts, and advice—some funny, some deeply touching, all filled with love. From grandparents to siblings to lifelong friends, everyone had something beautiful to say about the couple’s kindness, strength, and unmistakable joy together.

And when it came time to dance? Maddie and Major’s crowd did not disappoint. The dance floor was electric—full of energy, confetti, spins, and the kind of moves that only come out when you’re surrounded by your favorite people. It was the perfect exclamation mark to the start of their forever.

Sunshine, sudden rain, and the most joy-filled dance floor you’ve ever seen—Maddie and Major’s spring wedding at The Venue at the Bluffs had everything you could dream of for a wedding day full of beauty and heart.

Maddie & Major, your wedding day was full of beauty, emotion, and unshakable joy.
