Nestled in the golden light of a Summertime Utah afternoon at Events at the Grove, this celebration sparkled with effortless warmth and genuine hospitality. The bride and groom—surrounded by woodland charm and beautiful florals—radiated a lovely mix of soft neutrals and blush tones, perfectly complemented by lush greenery and daylight-drenched reception spaces. From open windows and fireplaces to laughter echoing through the room, the day felt like a heartfelt reunion—warm, inviting, and simply joyous from start to sweet dessert.

Just look at them—Cassie and Rhett are absolutely glowing, and it’s not just the sunlight bouncing off the temple fountain. It’s them—the way he leans in to kiss her cheek like he still can’t believe she’s his, and the way she closes her eyes and smiles like she’s never felt more loved or more at peace.

Cassie's gown is a dream—modest and elegant with just the right touch of lace, and that bouquet? A soft swirl of peach, cream, and greenery, like it was handpicked from a watercolor painting. And can we talk about how Rhett’s blue suit makes everything pop?! It’s fresh, confident, and perfectly frames their summer wedding vibe.

These two aren’t just posing for photos—they’re walking into forever, hand in hand, with flowers blooming all around them like the whole world is cheering them on.

Cassie surrounded herself with the sweetest group of women—just look at those genuine, joy-filled smiles! Her bridesmaids’ deep navy dresses added the perfect rich contrast to the soft, summery florals, creating a look that felt both timeless and fresh. And the bouquets? Oh my heart. Peachy roses, ivory blooms, textured greenery, and just a hint of dusty blue thistle—it’s like a color palette pulled straight from a European garden chapel.

There’s something sacred about this image—the sun glowing softly behind them, the fountain gently blurred, and Cassie and Rhett completely wrapped up in the quiet joy of just being each other’s. The veil, draped around both of them, feels like a whisper of eternity. Like a gentle reminder that their temple sealing wasn’t just for this life, but for forever.

And look at how they’re smiling just before the kiss… it’s not staged, it’s not posed—it’s pure love. The kind that makes you believe in happily ever afters that start with covenants and continue hand in hand through anything.

Just look at the thoughtful little moment Cassie and Rhett created for their guests—the soft pink sequin tablecloth catches the light like a shimmer of celebration, while the chalkboard-style sign and vintage lantern add a cozy, elegant charm. And of course, that temple canvas off to the side? Perfection. It quietly centers the entire day in faith, in sealing, in forever

And ohh these detail shots? So tender. So them. That first image—with their initials glowing in lights behind a soft garden centerpiece—feels like a little whispered promise: “This is our forever.”

And the rings nestled on that blush rose? I mean… come on. That’s not just a pretty photo. That’s covenant made visible. A gentle reminder that the beauty of a wedding isn’t just in the flowers—it’s in the faith, the love, and the lifelong promise sealed in the temple.

Okay… I can’t even with this cake! It’s like something out of a dream where rustic meets refined and everything tastes like happily ever after. The soft, semi-naked frosting gave it that relaxed, romantic feel—and the “Love You More” topper? Literal sweetness on top of sweetness. And don’t miss the fresh blooms tucked into the cake—those peachy petals echo the florals throughout the whole day, tying everything together like a satin ribbon on a bridal bouquet.

Okay, how fun is this?! Cassie and Rhett’s Italian soda bar was the perfect personal touch—sweet, colorful, and totally guest-friendly. 

Lined with vintage-style syrups, a gold-rimmed mirror tray, and those darling MR & MRS block letters nestled in greenery, the whole setup felt fresh and festive without being fussy. It was just the kind of station that invites guests to linger a little longer, laugh with old friends, and sip something delicious while soaking in the joy of the day.

From the quiet tenderness of their first dance to the sparkler-studded sendoff that had everyone smiling, Cassie and Rhett’s wedding was the perfect mix of sacred, sweet, and full of sparkle. 

It was a day filled with joy that radiated, from navy blue bridesmaid dresses and garden-fresh florals to peachy petals on a semi-naked cake and the playful delight of an Italian soda bar. Every detail—from the soft veil moments to the golden hour glow—reflected the love they share and the covenant they made.
