In a world so full of virtual connections, Hadassah and Pam (aka Dassah and Ditty) first met through mutual friends. While their connection was instant, busy lives resulted in a brief loss of touch. Social media then stepped in to bring Hadassah and Pam back together. A Facebook post reignited their spark, with their friendship quickly growing into a romance and then a lifelong partnership.
Pam and Hadassah share a love for travel, spending nights out in the city, and bringing the party and good vibes into any room. The Clybourn, a rustic venue in downtown Milwaukee, was the perfect location for their beautiful summer wedding. The couple chose a palette of navy, blush, white, gold, and rose gold for the fashion and decor for the day, with large floral arrangements setting the stage for their ceremony and reception.
Hadassah prepared for the ceremony with some of her closest ladies. She wore a stylish a-line gown from David’s Bridal, featuring lace-capped sleeves, a deep-v illusion neckline, a tulle skirt, and an artful keyhole back. Her soft, shimmery makeup brought out her natural beauty, and her hair was styled into a low, braided updo complete with a beautiful flower headband.
Meanwhile, Pam’s son Christopher, “Best Son,” helped Pam get ready for the day. She wore a sharp navy suit from Men’s Wearhouse with a white undershirt, blush bowtie, silk flower boutineer, and white pocket square. Other unique details included custom initial cufflinks, white sneakers, and her signature baseball cap worn at the reception.
The front lounge at the Clybourn transformed into a stunning indoor ceremony backdrop. The industrial space already boasted high ceilings, round chandeliers, and exposed rafters, which were then decorated with an expansive flower wall, tall vases, a white curtain, and a gold aisle runner. The wedding planner, Bodies Event, helped simplify the planning process by providing the floral and decor in addition to coordination and setup.
Judge Mosley officiated their ceremony. In addition to vows, Hadassah and Pam chose to include thoughtful details and traditions, including a ‘handfasting’ ritual. Originating in ancient Celtic times, this involved tying their hands together to symbolize binding their lives.
Reminisce Photography captured the joy of the day, from candid moments to posed portraits. After the ceremony, they took a short drive to Marquette University’s campus for beautiful outdoor garden photos.
The ceremony space was quickly set for dinner and dancing. Additional rentals, like a grand gold and white loveseat, were brought in for Hadassah & Pam’s candlelit sweetheart table. The table itself, formed from large marquee letters spelling “LOVE” was a standout piece, as was the flower runner centerpiece that cascaded to the floor.
