When Anthony and Mikala began planning their summer wedding, they knew they needed the expertise of a full-service wedding planner who could bring their vision to life. The couple had heard a lot of wonderful things about the Plan it Terra reputation, so they made the choice to inquire online. From the very first conversation, Terra's passion and dedication resonated deeply with Anthony and Mikala, solidifying the decision to hire me and my team.

Living in the heart of Columbia, Missouri, Anthony and Mikala dreamed of a wedding day filled with pure joy and vigrant energy, centered around their love and cherished relationships. They meticulously hand-picked modern elements that perfectly mirrored their youthful spirit and down-to-earth demeanor.

For the exchange of vows, Anthony and Mikala chose Rose Music Hall, an eclectic concert and event venue located in downtown Columbia, Missouri. The venue choice made it easy to take photos at the University of Missouri and for their guests to stay at The Broadway Hotel. By hiring me and my team, the couple had the opportunity to full immerse themselves in the day without working about any of the little details.

Getting Ready at The Broadway Hotel

The wedding day began with the bride and groom enjoying a delightful breakfast together before retreating to their separate rooms at The Broadway Hotel to prepare for the day's festivities. Consolidating everyone in one location streamlined their wedding day logistics. While the ladies indulged in professional hair and makeup services, the gentlemen took a moment to unwind before donning their suits and adorning boutonnieres. With the assistance of my team, Mikala was gracefully guided through her pre-wedding preparations before the entourage departed for downtown Columbia.

First Look

Anthony and Mikala shared a heartfelt moment in downtown Columbia for their first look. Mikala did an entire twirl for Anthony to see her stunning gown accented with a giant bow. The couple had the opportunity to spend some quiet moments together before they, along with their wedding party, headed to Mizzou’s campus to take portraits.

Portraits at Mizzou

Continuing with the modern, minimalist wedding design, the couple chose sleek black attire for their wedding party. The entire group looked absolutely chic. This particular summer wedding in Columbia provided perfect portrait lighting as clouds were in the sky all day. Amidst joyous laughter, the wedding party shared meaningful connections before making their way to the ceremony reception at Rose Music Hall.

Modern Minimalist Wedding Inspiration

The vendor team faced an exciting challenge as Mikala, Anthony, and their wedding party posed for portraits at Mizzou. The entire creative team worked diligently to organize every detail, paying special attention to the many layers that would make this modern minimalist wedding truly special for the couple. The first layer for setup included a tent installation, lighting, and dance floor followed by tables, chairs, and all of the little things that brought this day to life.

Throughout the day, we kept a close eye on the weather, typical for Missouri summers. As a storm loomed over Columbia, the team quickly adapted, pausing momentarily before swiftly transforming the reception space. Despite the unexpected interruption, the modern minimalist aesthetic shone through, with acrylic signage, shimmering disco balls, chic midcentury furniture, and whimsical floral arrangements tying everything together.

Outdoor Summer Wedding

Anthony and Mikala’s July wedding day at Rose Music Hall graced them with perfect weather only moments before the ceremony began. The rain showers stopped, allowing the sun to peek through the clouds. Anthony and Mikala case to have the wedding ceremony on the stage at Rose Music Hall while their guests watched from underneath the white tent in the event of more inclement weather.

Interactive Cocktail Hour

Anthony and Mikala planned a modern and minimalist wedding affair, brimming with funky touches and delightful surprises for their guests to savor under the summer sky at their outdoor tented reception. Their cocktail hour, located on the inviting patio of Rose Music Hall, a vibrant concert venue nestled in the heart of downtown Columbia, Missouri, invited guests to mingle and immerse themselves in a world of interactive delights. From a captivating photo booth and plush seating area to dazzling marquee letters and a charming Instax camera guest book, every corner exuded an air of joy.

Outdoor Tented Reception

As the festivities continued into the reception, guests were treated to a mouthwatering spread, courtesy of local food trucks serving up an array of cuisines. And to satisfy every sweet tooth, a decadent dessert bar beckoned with an irresistible assortment of dessert shooters, cookies, and cheesecake bites. With the seamless coordination of Plan it Terra Wedding Planning & Design and the dedicated staff of Rose Music Hall, every aspect of the reception was meticulously crafted, ensuring a flawless and unforgettable experience for all involved.
