With 2025 wedding trends taking over social media, it’s easy to feel pressure to follow the latest styles. However, Melissa and John’s wedding at the Civic Club of Harrisburg served as a beautiful reminder that classic, timeless elegance will always be in fashion. Their day showcased elegant details, heartfelt moments, and a celebration that truly reflected their personalities!
When planning a wedding, couples often feel overwhelmed by changing trends. Instead of chasing fads, Melissa and John focused on what mattered most – celebrating their love in a way that felt true to them. Their neutral and elegant color palette, simple yet stunning florals, and choice of a historic venue worked together to create a wedding that will remain just as beautiful in photos decades from now. By choosing a timeless aesthetic, couples ensure that their wedding images never feel outdated.
Rather than opting for a first look, Melissa and John chose to have an aisle reveal. Few moments are as emotional as a groom seeing his bride for the first time as she walks down the aisle! Their ceremony felt intimate and heartfelt, with close family and friends gathered to witness their vows. The Civic Club’s gardens and historic architecture provided a breathtaking backdrop, perfectly capturing the beauty of their day.
After the ceremony, guests moved to the garden for a relaxed cocktail hour before heading inside for a sit-down dinner catered by Festive Board Catering. Throughout the evening, Melissa and John made it a priority to personally connect with their guests. By visiting each table, they ensured that everyone felt included in their celebration.
From their romantic first dance to a high-energy reception, Melissa and John’s wedding was filled with joy from start to finish.
Melissa and John’s wedding proves that staying true to your style will always be in fashion. Classic choices never go out of style, and their celebration was a perfect reflection of that. It was an absolute honor to capture their love story, and I look forward to seeing where their journey together leads!
