A Palette of Black, Gold and White to Inspire Your Wedding Look

Nestled in the heart of Oconomowoc, The Valerie stands as a wedding venue that embodies classic elegance with a touch of flair. Recently, a talented group of vendors had the opportunity to create something magical within these walls—a styled shoot designed to showcase the beauty and versatility of this space.

Colors and Aesthetic Coming Together

This Oconomowoc gem features a beautifully designed space that caters to various tastes while adhering to classic aesthetics. The bridal suite is particularly captivating, offering brides a space for preparation on their special day. Each event finds its unique expression within these walls, making every occasion truly one-of-a-kind.

The mood of the shoot at The Valerie was simply classic and elegance. When Lauryn, with Ms. Lauryn Marie Makeup Artistry, first found the space she knew she wanted to bring on a team that would play up the white and golds of the space. The classic black, white and gold color palette seemed to be a perfect fit while also adding touches of pale pink to create interest without being a distraction. “My main goal was for anyone who looks at the images to think ‘wow that is so pretty & elegant’ without having to be super trendy.”

Cascading floral arrangements, created by Reflections of You, adorned the head table framing it perfectly with color and texture. Linens, from Windy City Linen, played a nice complimentary role to the florals. The addition of a pink vintage car, from Once Upon a Figgy, added that perfect pop of flair to the scene. And, an ice cream cart on the patio to add some sweetness. All together, it hinted at timeless charm yet felt refreshingly modern.

Working with Amazing Vendors

Collaboration is key in any styled shoot, and this one was no exception. The talented vendors involved truly brought the vision to life. It was clear that they understood the desire for a classic yet elegant aesthetic.

The amazing photographer captured every detail beautifully, ensuring that each shot radiated elegance and charm. Working alongside such dedicated professionals made all the difference in creating something truly special at The Valerie in Oconomowoc.
