ELEVATED HUNT CLUB ROMANCE

october 2025

THE STORY

Cece and Mitch first had mutual friends in high school, but reconnected years later on Hinge, only to realize they grew up just 11 minutes apart without ever knowing. What began as a surprise reconnection quickly turned into a relationship that feels effortless and grounding for them both. Mitch proposed in Steamboat Springs during a trip to visit his brother, after a hike in the mountains, where Cece turned around to find him on one knee. It was an absolute shock, followed by three minutes of laughing and saying “WTF” before she said yes. Together they love skiing, golfing, lake days, time with family and friends, and simply being in each other’s presence in a way that feels completely natural and easy.

THE VISION

Cece and Mitch wanted their wedding to feel unmistakably like them, centered on the love between them and the energy of everyone gathered around them. They hoped guests would leave feeling how real, present, and easy their connection is, with a celebration that reflects who they are at their core.

Their vision leaned cozy, rustic, and farmhouse inspired, with a relaxed Maine sensibility and an elevated take on their down-to-earth roots, designed in a way that felt intentional but unpretentious.

Soft, earthy tones guided the palette, including blush pinks, light greens, and warm beige undertones, creating a natural, romantic feel that was organic and lived in. Every detail was meant to feel personal and true to them, rooted in comfort, familiarity, and authenticity.
