Halea + Richard’s Kansas City Fall Wedding
The Engagement
After six years of love that withstood the test of time and distance, the couple decided to anchor themselves in a place they could call home. In 2022, they closed the chapter on their nomadic lifestyle, choosing Kansas City as the backdrop for their love story. This decision marked the beginning of a new chapter as they took the monumental step of engagement, setting the stage for the beautiful wedding that would unfold in 2023 at The Legacy at Green Hills.
The Attire
As autumn leaves painted the landscape with warm hues, Halea and Richard exchanged vows in a boho fall wedding that was nothing short of enchanting. Richard looked dapper in a navy suit, complemented by a floral bow tie that added a touch of whimsy to his ensemble. Meanwhile, Halea’s choice of attire was a vision of boho elegance—a long-sleeved lace dress that perfectly captured the essence of the season. The bridesmaids added to the colorful vibe, donning mismatched dresses that reflected the vibrant palette of fall.
The Details
Every detail of Halea and Richard’s wedding spoke volumes about their unique love story. The florals, a harmonious blend of colorful and muted fall shades, adorned the venue, creating an atmosphere of natural beauty. The outdoor ceremony, surrounded by the couple’s closest family and friends, radiated warmth and intimacy. Richard ensured his groomsmen were not only stylish but also equipped for a celebration with personalized brown leather flasks, a thoughtful and lasting token of their shared camaraderie.
The Reception
The dessert spread was a delightful array of flavors, with a simple two-tier cake taking center stage, accompanied by a variety of mini cupcakes. Breaking away from tradition, Halea opted for a playful ribbon cutting instead of the conventional bouquet toss, adding a touch of whimsy to the celebration. Complete DJ Sarrah ensured the tunes were just right for all the night’s events.
