Shade Home and Gardens

When I think back to Sadie and Brian’s wedding at Shade Home and Gardens in Orem, Utah, all I can do is smile. This venue is a total dream for anyone who loves lush greenery and an outdoor vibe without worrying about the weather. The greenhouse setting, combined with the open area perfect for ceremonies and receptions, created such an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere for their day.

Sadie and Brian were the sweetest couple—so much love and laughter surrounded them all day. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this wedding was going to be something special. The venue, Shade Home and Gardens (@shadehomeandgarden and @shadeweddings), set the tone with its picturesque backdrop. The way the light filtered through the greenhouse during their ceremony was pure magic.

Sadie looked absolutely stunning in her dress from Pritchett Bridal (@pritchettbridal). The detail in her gown was breathtaking, and it suited her so perfectly. Brian, looking sharp in his tux from Men’s Wearhouse (@menswearhouse), couldn’t take his eyes off her. Watching them exchange vows surrounded by their closest family and friends was such a heartfelt moment.

One of the most unique parts of the day? Sadie’s epic surprise for the reception. After the ceremony, she snuck away to have her hair cut into a chic, shorter style by the talented Torrie (@beautyby.torrie). When she walked into the reception with her new look, the room absolutely erupted. It was such a fun, unexpected twist that showed off her bold personality.

The details of this wedding were beyond beautiful. Foxglove Utah (@foxgloveutah) created floral arrangements that were works of art. The colors and textures brought such life to the venue. The invitations, designed by Hannah E. Darby (@hannahedarby), set the tone perfectly with their elegant design. Everything felt cohesive and intentional.

For the reception, the energy was unmatched. ADM Productions DJ (@admproductionsdj) kept the dance floor packed all night long. You could tell everyone was having the time of their lives. Bombay House (@bombayhouseutah) catered the event, and let me just say, the food was incredible. Guests couldn’t stop raving about it. And then there was the cake from The Chocolate, A Dessert Café (@thechocolate_adessertcafe). Not only was it gorgeous, but it tasted every bit as amazing as it looked.

Capturing their wedding at shade home and gardens

Capturing the connection between Sadie and Brian and all the little moments throughout the day was such a joy. From their first look to the toasts to their romantic send-off, every part of the day felt authentic and full of love. Shade Home and Gardens proved to be the perfect backdrop for their story, and it’s one I won’t forget anytime soon.

Congratulations again, Sadie and Brian! Your wedding was truly one for the books, and I’m so honored to have been part of it. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and surprises just as sweet as Sadie’s reception reveal!
