Pabst Brewery Wedding

Jessica & Tony

This blog has been a long time coming! It’s so hard to believe we’re already two weeks into January! Jessica & Tony celebrated their Pabst Brewery wedding on New Year’s Eve where friends and family helped them truly celebrate the new year and new marriage. We started the day with the men getting ready at the Pabst and the ladies preparing at the Brewhouse Inn & Suites. In manly fashion, part of their preparation for the day included pizza and beer. 🙂 They looked dapper in their men’s wear from The Black Tux and ties from Tie Bar. Tony carried his great-grandmother’s ring during the wedding day, which is a tradition for the men in his family (a tradition I’m going to have to replicate in my really old, old days, I think). 🙂

Jessica looked fabulous in her sparkling wedding dress from BHLDN, and her wedding day details were perfect. She wore sparkling flats, her mother’s special earrings, and a wrap that her mother made as well. The color choices for her bouquet by Cora Floral Studio were too perfect for words, and Jessica’s grandmother’s handkerchief added the perfect finishing touch. The ladies in the bridal party each had a long black dress that they found at various stores, and they looked stunning!

The air was certainly crisp and frigid, but the skies were gorgeous as the bride & bridesmaids and groom & groomsmen made their way to the church for the official ceremony. Jessica & Tony saw each other for the first time as they looked down the aisle. It was a beautiful ceremony, following which Jessica & Tony’s wedding party braved sub-zero temps for their bride & groom. These guys were amazing! Our fingers were freezing (making it difficult to actually take the pictures), but these ladies were in dresses! (They’re our heroes!) After a quick stop in Milwaukee’s Third Ward, we headed back to the Brewhouse Inn & Suites and then to the Pabst for the rest of the party. We absolutely love having the chance to photograph at locations that have a history, so obviously the Pabst Brewery made us happy. The history of these buildings and the story they tell is one of the reasons we’ve fallen in love with Milwaukee.

The entire day was both relaxed and celebratory in nature, a great reflection of Jessica & Tony’s excitement to be married! Cocktail hour included lots of hugs and congratulations, followed by an excellent dinner catered by Chef Jack’s. Their dessert bar was almost too beautiful to eat (almost… but not quite)!! And the evening continued with touching speeches and lots of dancing the night away. Late night tacos by Bel Aire gave guests a reason to temporarily exit the dance floor, but not for long. 🙂 Soon it was nearing midnight; and, of course, the countdown was exciting and epic. Tony’s father’s birthday is January 1st, so after the New Year’s cheers died down, Happy Birthday began.

It was a beautiful day to celebrate not only Jessica & Tony’s love for one another but the start of a new year, new adventures, and new part of their journey. Enjoy these favorites from their Pabst Brewery wedding! Brew House Inn & Suites Wedding Milwaukee Wedding Ceremony Third Ward Winter Wedding
