A Lakefront Celebration Full of Color and Joy | Bri & Justin at Occasions Party Centre

Bri and Justin’s wedding day was the perfect mix of elegance, fun, and heartfelt moments, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Occasions Party Centre in Clinton, Ohio. With blue skies, a gentle breeze, and a ceremony by the lake, it felt like the kind of day everyone hopes for when planning an outdoor wedding.

From the start of the day to the final dance, their celebration was full of energy, laughter, and vibrant personal touches.


A Joyful Morning With the Girls

Bri chose to get ready at her parents’ house, and the morning was nothing short of a party. Surrounded by her bridesmaids, she sipped mimosas and snacked on fresh strawberries from custom-engraved glasses, all while dressed in matching floral posie robes. The music was loud, the smiles were wide, and the energy was contagious.

It was one of those mornings that sets the tone for the whole day—relaxed, joyful, and full of love.


The Bride’s Effortless Elegance

Bri looked absolutely stunning in a lace gown that fit her like a dream. The sheer lace bodice and plunging neckline gave it a soft, romantic feel, while the fitted Chantilly lace skirt added a touch of timeless elegance. Her hair fell in loose waves around her shoulders, perfectly styled to match her effortless beauty.

Her bouquet was one of the most striking parts of her look. A gorgeous arrangement in bold, moody tones—dusty blue, ruby red, coral, and amethyst—brought in just the right pop of color and tied her whole aesthetic together beautifully.

Her bridesmaids wore long, flowing dusty blue dresses in a mix-and-match style that looked both cohesive and personal. The soft blue tones were the perfect contrast to Bri’s vibrant bouquet.


A Picture-Perfect Lake Ceremony

The couple exchanged vows on a sunny afternoon by the lake at Occasions Party Centre, with a light breeze rustling through the trees. It was one of those rare, perfect weather days in Northeast Ohio—warm, bright, and peaceful. The lake shimmered behind them as they said “I do,” and their guests looked on with happy tears and big smiles.

After the ceremony, we made our way to the venue’s historic barn, where Bri and Justin shared a few quiet moments together and posed for some beautiful portraits before heading into the party.


A Ballroom Full of Color and Celebration

The reception space was brought to life by Bri’s stunning choice of florals. The colorful arrangements from her bouquet carried into the ballroom, adding warmth and personality to every table.

Guests were treated to signature cocktails crafted just for the occasion. His was a classic Cuba Libre, while hers was a beachy, citrusy favorite playfully named The Bride’s Beaches. It was a fun detail that got a lot of love from their guests and made cocktail hour feel extra personal.

As the evening went on, the dance floor stayed full, and one of the highlights was the wedding shoe game a classic icebreaker that gave everyone a laugh and a peek into Bri and Justin’s playful connection. Based on the answers, it’s safe to say these two know each other (and themselves) pretty well!
