Green Bay Wedding at Tundra Lodge

A gorgeous summer wedding with an elegant, rustic vibe.

How They Met

Arianna and Jericho met while working at Burger King. He joined the team at the BK in Oconto Falls, where she was the supervisor. When the two hung out one night, Jericho kissed Arianna. They didn’t talk for several years but eventually reconnected and rekindled their flame.

The Engagement

Arianna and Jericho knew after a few months of dating that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. When Arianna’s mother sent Jericho a link to the ring website, he placed an order that night. Upon returning home from a quick vacation, Jericho got down on one knee in their apartment.

The Dress

Arianna found her dream wedding dress at Tie the Knot Bridal Boutique in Green Bay. After trying on about 50 gowns, she knew she found “the one” when she instantly loved how it made her feel when she looked in the mirror.

The Formalwear

Jericho wore a burgundy Ike Behar suit with black satin lapel from Du Bois Formalwear. His groomsmen wore black suits with burgundy ties.

The Ceremony

Arianna and Jericho tied the knot at the Tundra Lodge in a small, intimate ceremony attended by their closest family and friends. In lieu of a first look, the couple shared a first touch; Arianna and Jericho stood against different sides of a wall, held hands, and exchanged words to one another before meeting at the altar. Of course, they loved seeing each other for the first time as Arianna walked down the aisle to the piano version of Gaius Yeong’s Bridal Chorus.

Sadly, one of Jericho’s groomsmen passed away a couple of months before the wedding. He was honored in many ways, including having a photo of him on display with a lantern at the altar and a spot reserved for him at the bridal party head table.

The Photos

Kristine Stoll, a wedding photographer based in Abrams, Wisconsin, captured all of the wonderful moments throughout Arianna and Jericho’s special day. In addition to the venue, the bridal party stopped at Pamperin Park for photos.

The Décor

The wedding color palette consisted of stunning shades of burgundy, blush, gold, and ivory. The bride, groom, and their families crafted many of the decorations, including the personalized signage. Arianna, her mother, and her sister designed all of the floral arrangements. Jericho made all of the boutonnieres, and his sister made the bride’s bouquet and all the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

The couple rented wooden slabs for the centerpieces from Ruby Design, a professional decorating business in Green Bay. “Ruby Design handled everything we threw at them with such ease and elegance. I couldn’t have imagined my wedding day without them!

The Reception

The reception took place in the grand ballroom of the Tundra Lodge. The newlyweds shared their first dance to the song “Take My Name” by Parmalee. The father-daughter and mother-son dances included the couple’s stepfather and stepmother, who are extremely important in their lives. Thanks to KC on the Beat, the dance floor was packed all night long.

The Food and Drinks

Arianna and Jericho’s wedding menu featured baked chicken, tips, meatballs and gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, veggies, corn, and salad. After dinner and during dancing, guests indulged in an ice cream bar and pizzas. Arianna’s mother and stepfather even put together a snack bar with a variety of the couple’s favorite munchies. For dessert, a friend of the couple baked an array of cupcakes: carrot cake, raspberry lemon poppyseed, Bavarian cream, caramel-filled, and chocolate peanut butter.
