Abbe + Kevin | Madison, Wisconsin | Elegant Glam Burgundy + Gold Wedding at The Tinsmith

January 19, 2022 By Sarah Davidson

With wedding colors of burgundy and gold, I knew I was going to like Abbe + Kevin from the start. Add on the fact that Abbe had spent a decade herself as a wedding photographer, with an additional degree in Event Management, and we immediately clicked from day one of working together!

Everything about Abbe + Kevin’s wedding at The Tinsmith had personal touches, from Abbe’s grandmother’s charm pinned to her bouquet, to the elegant DIY-ed signage, all the way to playing Star Wars music for the Grand March! Yep, they’re that cool.

Our HUE crew especially loved listening to the toasts from those near and dear to the couple, easily feeling the amount of support radiating for them within the room. It was something truly special.

Congrats Abbe + Kevin! Thanks for choosing us to help you celebrate your beautiful big day! Enjoy all the gorgeous detail from their special celebration below!

Every element of their day, down to the smallest detail of Abbe’s accessories, embodied glam and elegance!

If you’re looking for a Downtown Madison wedding venue with modern, industrial, and greenhouse vibes, look no further than The Tinsmith! The rich emerald details and plants throughout the venue complimented the burgundy jewel tones and greenery in Abbe + Kevin’s day perfectly.

The special community, love, and support that surrounds this couple were radiant throughout the course of their wedding day!

Elegant gold details give the perfect touch to this clean reception look sprinkled with luscious greenery. We’re obsessed with this DIY seating chart sign they created as well, aren’t you?

This stunning 3-tiered cake from Craig’s Cake Shop was almost too pretty to eat. We said almost, though! 😉

Congratulations again, Abbe + Kevin!

Rachel + Mike | Waterloo, Wisconsin | Relaxed + Vibrant Summer Wedding at The Wildwood Barn & Cottage

December 15, 2021 By Sarah Davidson

Rachel and Mike’s sweet and charming wedding day at The Wildwood Barn & Cottage was everything we love about summer weddings!With their amazing smiles and good-natured vibes, these two were one of the sweetest couples we’ve ever had the opportunity to work with.

Their wedding day was the perfect mix of relaxed but traditional, full of vibrant summer color, and incorporated many personal elements significant to them as a couple. We loved all the sweet details of their day and exploring a new venue that we can’t wait to be back at again!

See more from Rachel + Mike’s July Wisconsin wedding day down below!

The Wildwood Barn & Cottage’s location is a tucked-away treat with plenty of trees, a hidden pond with trails, rustic barns, a charming cottage, and the most wonderful owners who turned their family’s farm into a Wisconsin wedding slice of heaven!

Rachel and Mike decided to have both a ceremony in a church and an outdoor ceremony at their reception location – the best of both worlds!

Guests enjoyed dancing the night away under the stars and café lights outside the bar barn (bar-n, if you will) and s’mores over the fire pit at sundown alongside an ice cream cart! Also, how breathtaking are the sunset photos of these two?

All the best to Rachel and Mike – congratulations again on your beautiful marriage!

Whitney + David | Madison, Wisconsin | Glam Downtown Wedding at The Sylvee

November 7, 2021 By Sarah Davidson

After postponing their wedding date TWICE, the third time was a charm for Whitney and David, who hosted their celebration at The Sylvee that focused on their values and vibe as a couple throughout. The wedding of this awesome California-based couple included many personal touches from their community, with the evening’s MC and reception band being childhood friends of Whitney’s!⁠⁠

⁠One of Madison’s newest and most unique wedding venues, The Sylvee did not require much dressing up, but our HUE crew had fun with what we did, including a few glam pieces from Event Essentials and A La Crate Rentals, all captured masterfully by Tim Fitch Photography, of course!⁠

⁠⁠We LOVED our planning journey with this couple, who had the perfect balance of both keeping it fun and keeping it real. Congrats Whitney + David!⁠

⁠⁠P.S. we also loved that Whitney told her sister Meagan that she HAD to hire the HUE team for her big day as well and we got to celebrate with them this past year too!

See more from Whitney + David’s downtown Madison wedding day below!

We were in love with the ambiance of The Sylvee and their industrial vibe that was such an easy blank canvas to transform Whitney + David’s wedding day into the unique and beautiful one that it was.

We had all hands on deck flipping this gorgeous ceremony space into a dinner scene during their happy hour and then flipping it again into a dance floor for this fun-loving couple to dance the night away with their loved ones!

One of our favorite parts of their day was coordinating the logistics to play a pre-recorded toast from David’s mom who was battling cancer in Tennessee and couldn’t attend their special day. The raw emotion was felt throughout the entire venue.

Congratulations, Whitney + David!

Rachel + Logan | Arlington, Wisconsin | Simple + Rustic Spring Backyard Barn Wedding

October 20, 2021 By Sarah Davidson

Rachel and Logan’s wedding was the most lovely day for the most deserving of couples.⁠ ⁠⁠Our first meeting with Rachel and Logan had us loving their laidback style and passion for being good humans.⁠ We turned a big, old (like 1830’s old) barn into a magical oasis on a quiet farm dotted with gardens, and it was beautiful.
⁠⁠
This couple was hoping for a simple and elegant day that had all the trimmings, but not a lot of fuss, and we had the BEST time making it happen in just 4 months!⁠⁠ Working with a blank canvas and a vision is our favorite art, and we’re not sure which part we loved more from Rachel and Logan’s wedding: planning it or executing it!⁠ ⁠⁠Enjoy each detail below!

The property belonged to a business client of Logan’s and was the perfect setting for these two to join in union surrounded by their closest loved ones.

We loved the fun and laughter yard games brought to both the couple and their guests!

This 1830’s barn was transformed into an absolute dream covered in twinkle lights for this fun-loving couple and their guests to dance their hearts out for the rest of the night!
