Toledo, Ohio | Toledo Botanical Garden | The Lodge at Strawberry Acres | Mark + Natalya Swetich Wedding

bridal prep

Bridal preparations for the ladies took place at Natalya + Mark's lovely home in the presence of Natalya's favorite pups. Natalya hung out with her friends and family in her cute Mrs. Swetich jammies while they munched on Chick-fil-a and had hair and make up done. When the time came Natalya's mother helped her get into her stunning ivory gown. It was sleeveless with a plunging V-neckline, full tulle skirt with train, and delicate floral accents. She wore her hair up elegantly at the nape of her neck, completed with a live floral comb and beautifully beaded fingertip veil. Her look was finished with champagne sparkly heels, long jeweled earrings, bracelet and a stunning bright bouquet.

ceremony

The couple's intimate ceremony took place at the stunning Toledo Botanical Garden surrounded by family, friends, and gorgeous white hydrangeas. Natalya looked like she was floating on a cloud as she made her way to her groom to the soft sounds of the string quartet and greeted him with a fist bump. The ceremony was full of love, smiles and laughter. Natalya and Mark joined wine together to represent their union and finished off the ceremony with a joyous breaking of the glass.
