Alexis & Colin’s Timeless Summer Wedding at Hawthorne House
Alexis and Colin’s wedding at Hawthorne House, a unique Kansas City wedding venue, was the epitome of timeless elegance. With a classic green and white theme, their celebration was filled with meaningful details, from the romantic onsite chapel ceremony to a reception that left guests raving. Their summer wedding was a seamless blend of sophistication, fun, and heartfelt moments—all set against the backdrop of one of the most stunning outdoor wedding venues in Kansas City.
A Relaxed Morning of Pampering & Celebration
One of the biggest perks of hosting a wedding at Hawthorne House is the convenience of having everything onsite. Alexis and her bridal party began their morning in The Magnolia Room, one of the venue’s spacious, light-filled getting-ready suites. With the talented Fix Beauty team onsite to pamper the ladies, they spent a relaxed morning sipping champagne on the private Magnolia Room porch, watching as vendors arrived and the wedding day magic started to unfold.
Dressed in cozy matching satin pajamas and elegant getting-ready robes, the bridesmaids enjoyed quality time filled with laughter and anticipation. Meanwhile, Colin and his groomsmen had their own laid-back start to the day in The Bradford Room, the second onsite suite. With plenty of space to unwind, the guys arrived at their own pace, preparing for the moment Colin would see his bride for the first time.
A Chapel Ceremony with Classic Elegance
When it came time to say “I do,” Alexis and Colin exchanged vows in Hawthorne House’s elegant onsite chapel. Seating up to 250 guests, this air-conditioned sanctuary was the perfect setting for their summer nuptials. The stunning wood beams, grand windows, and classic white backdrop made for a picturesque and intimate ceremony, allowing their love story to take center stage.
A Reception to Remember in The Emerson Room
While the couple was capturing dreamy portraits around Hawthorne House’s 11-acre private estate, their reception space was undergoing a breathtaking transformation. The Emerson Room was dressed in elegant black table linens, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. One of the most talked-about details? Their custom wedding cake, featuring a fun, personalized topper of their beloved fur baby!
Sipping, Dining, and Dancing the Night Away
With over 170 of their closest family and friends gathered to celebrate, Alexis and Colin treated their guests to a delicious menu by Garozzo’s, ensuring everyone was well-fed and ready to hit the dance floor. A diverse selection of beer, wine, and seltzers kept spirits high, and the energy never wavered as Elevate Entertainment and Aventi Weddings kept the dance floor packed all night long.
