Sarah + David’s The Holly Vault Wedding

August 19, 2023

Some weddings feel like a breath of fresh air—relaxed, personal, and full of intention. That’s exactly how Sarah and David’s day at The Holly Vault in Holly, Michigan unfolded.

They started their morning in the venue’s gorgeous upstairs bridal suite—easily one of the prettiest getting ready spaces around. Before the ceremony, Sarah and David had a quiet first look upstairs, where they exchanged private vows. It was the kind of moment that felt entirely their own.

This wedding was intentionally small, no wedding party, just the people who mattered most. They gave thoughtful gifts to their parents and close family before the ceremony, and Sarah’s aunt officiated the heartfelt outdoor ceremony right across the street from the venue.

At the reception, guests were greeted with personal details and relaxed energy. The cake topper? A little replica of their dog. And instead of a big sendoff, Sarah and David took a quiet moment to sneak away for ice cream in downtown Holly, just the two of them, soaking it all in.

Everything about their day reflected who they are.
