Fantasy Inspired Zoo Wedding Reception – Elizabeth + Hudson

As seen in Inside Weddings Spring 2025

Hudson and Elizabeth’s love story felt like it was written by fate—after crossing paths time and time again, they knew God had been bringing them together for a reason. When weather changed Hudson’s original proposal plan, he found an even more meaningful way to ask: surrounded by both families on Thanksgiving Day. During the family prayer, he added one more blessing to the list—asking Elizabeth to marry him. She described the moment as “another one of the best days of my life.”

Their wedding was nothing short of magical. Inspired by the idea of an enchanted garden, Elizabeth and Hudson transformed their venue into a vibrant, immersive experience. As an artist, Elizabeth designed their custom wedding crest with watercolor florals, which were used throughout the invitations, decor, and even the dance floor. Their ceremony took place in the same church where Elizabeth’s parents were married, adding a sentimental touch to an already emotional moment. Her gown by J’Aton Couture, paired with a lace veil from the 1800s, perfectly captured her vision of old-world elegance meets modern-day glamour. The reception felt like stepping into a dream—with layers of colorful florals, candlelit trees, and whimsical installations. As rain fell during their send-off and guests tossed leaves, it only reinforced the feeling that their day was destined to be extraordinary.
