Missouri Athletic Club Wedding: Deane & Jeff’s Elegant Celebration

Deane and Jeff’s Missouri Athletic Club wedding was a visual masterpiece. The MAC was transformed into a spring garden oasis, thanks to the vibrant florals by AATR. Pink, yellow, orange, purple, and blue blooms added a lively contrast to the venue’s classic interiors. Inspired by Bridgerton, their wedding featured lush floral designs, butterfly accents, and glowing candlelight, creating a setting that felt both romantic and timeless.

Their day blended elegance and modern touches seamlessly. Moreover, iconic St. Louis locations such as the Central Library and the Saint Louis Art Museum added stunning architectural backdrops to their portraits, making their wedding album unforgettable.

The Aesthetic: A Romantic Missouri Athletic Club Wedding

Deane and Jeff’s Missouri Athletic Club wedding artfully combined classic sophistication with unique, whimsical details. The bold color palette of the florals popped beautifully against the venue’s stately design. In addition, butterfly accents on plates and décor brought a sense of playfulness to the tablescape.

To add warmth and intimacy, candles were placed throughout the reception space. Furthermore, the mismatched vintage tableware and tiny statues enhanced the design’s personal and charming aesthetic. These thoughtful choices made the day feel both elegant and inviting.

Highlights of the Day

A Wedding Party of 20

Deane and Jeff’s wedding party of 20 brought incredible energy to their celebration. The group posed for portraits at several iconic locations, including Forest Park, the Central Library, and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Each spot offered a unique backdrop, adding depth and variety to their photos.

Donnie the Golden Doodle

Their golden doodle, Donnie, added a heartwarming touch to the celebration. Not only did Donnie join the couple for portraits, but he also walked down the aisle during the ceremony. This sweet inclusion was one of the day’s most memorable moments.

First Looks

Deane shared emotional first-look moments with her dad and stepmom before revealing her bridal look to Jeff. These interactions were filled with love and anticipation, setting a heartfelt tone for the rest of the day.

Stunning Portraits

At the Central Library, Deane and Jeff posed against grand architectural details, including ornate doors and stone facades. Later, they moved to the Saint Louis Art Museum, where the stately building provided a classic and elegant backdrop. These portraits captured the beauty of St. Louis and the romance of the couple’s day.

Reception Dress Change

Deane delighted her guests with a reception dress change. After wearing a traditional bridal gown from Mimi’s in Town and Country for the ceremony, she switched to a chic and modern dress for the reception. This fun twist added excitement to the evening.
