A Modern, Joyful Celebration: Olivia & Cam’s Elegant Outdoor Wedding at Hawthorne House
On a picturesque early May afternoon, Olivia and Cam tied the knot beneath the charming gazebo at Hawthorne House, creating the perfect Kansas City outdoor wedding filled with sunshine, sentiment, and timeless style. With 190 of their closest friends and family in attendance, their day was a celebration of love, design, and intentional details—brought to life by a top-notch vendor team and the couple’s own creative vision.
Olivia, a talented graphic designer, infused the day with her artistic touch. From the custom invitation suite to signage and paper details, everything was thoughtfully curated with unique textures and modern, elevated design elements. Her wedding stationery was not only beautiful—it was personal. The use of bold typography, tactile materials, and a balanced neutral palette elevated the overall wedding aesthetic and added a luxury feel to every space.
The couple’s ceremony took place at the iconic gazebo, a favorite feature of Hawthorne House for those planning an outdoor wedding in Kansas City. Framed by spring greenery and florals designed by Vetiver Floral Design, Olivia and Cam exchanged vows beneath the trees in a setting that felt equal parts natural and refined. Guests were welcomed with beverages and smiles, and the couple’s heartfelt ceremony set the tone for an evening of joyful celebration.
Before and after the ceremony, Olivia and Cam took full advantage of Hawthorne House’s 11-acre property, capturing playful and stunning wedding party portraits just outside the chapel. The classic architecture and lush landscaping created the perfect backdrop for Annie Lui Photography to work her magic. These photos highlight the joy of the day—from candid laughs to elegant couple portraits, it’s easy to see how much love was surrounding them.
When Olivia and Cam chose Hawthorne House as their wedding venue, they were drawn to the vibe and open outdoor space. But more than anything, they were excited to gather all of their favorite people in one place to celebrate. And celebrate they did—with delicious catering by Garozzo’s, a stunning dessert spread by Sugar Beats Bake Shop, and music by DJ Marc O’Leary and Carray Music to keep the energy high.
Their day was perfectly coordinated by Confetti Events KC, and everything from transportation (Carey Reservations) to beauty (Posh KC) was handled with ease and style. The timeless yet modern look of the wedding came together with rentals from Propps Event Rentals and Olivia’s stunning gown from Lovely Bride Cincinnati, paired with Cam and his groomsmen in sleek BLK Tux attire.
From a romantic Christmas-tree proposal to a design-forward celebration in one of the most beloved unique wedding venues in Kansas City, Olivia and Cam’s day was one to remember. It was a joyful, stylish, and heart-filled gathering—the kind of wedding that makes you want to relive every detail.
