Old Warson Country Club wedding St. Louis Missouri

Some weddings feel straight out of a classic romance novel, and Hunter and Allison’s wedding at Old Warson Country Club in St. Louis Missouri was exactly that—timeless, elegant, and filled with most heartfelt moments. Their celebration began with a beautiful Catholic mass at Our Lady of the Pillar, followed by an exquisite reception at the stunning Old Warson Country Club. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making this wedding a true reflection of love, faith, and sophistication.

A morning filled with excitement and anticipation

The day began in the most elegant way—inside Allison’s in-laws’ breathtaking home, where every detail was just as beautiful as the moments unfolding within it. Sunlight streamed through the grand windows, casting a warm glow over the delicate bridal details—her timeless gown, heirloom jewelry, and the softest pastel florals carefully arranged nearby.

Surrounded by her closest friends and family, Allison’s morning was filled with laughter, excitement, and heartfelt anticipation. But beneath the excitement of the day, there was a quiet ache—just six months before the wedding, she had lost her oldest sister to cancer.

Wanting to keep her close, Allison carried a small picture of her sister Jessica wrapped around her bouquet—a subtle yet powerful reminder that she was still there, walking with her through every step of the day. It was a small detail, but one that meant everything.

Allison slipped into her wedding dress in the most stunning room, where every corner reflected classic sophistication and warmth, making for the perfect backdrop to capture such an intimate part of the day.

One of the most touching moments? When her mother and mother-in-law helped fasten the final buttons and tie the exquisite bow on the back of her gown, and her bridesmaids gasped at how breathtaking she looked. The emotion in the room was undeniable—a beautiful mix of joy, nostalgia, and the sweet realization that the day she had dreamed of was finally here.

It was in that instant that everything felt so real, so perfectly meant to be.

With one last spritz of perfume and a radiant smile, Allison was ready. Ready to say “I do,” ready to walk down the aisle, and ready to see her groom waiting for her.

A classic & refined morning at Old Warson Country Club

While Allison was getting ready, Hunter and his groomsmen enjoyed a relaxed morning at Old Warson Country Club. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation, camaraderie, and just the right amount of pre-wedding excitement.

In one of the club’s elegant suites, Hunter buttoned up his classic black tuxedo, adjusting his cufflinks as the morning light poured in. With the help of his father and brother, Hunter put on the final touches and was ready for the big day.

As he stepped outside onto the club’s immaculate grounds, Hunter took a quiet moment to himself—a deep breath, a look around at the timeless setting, and the realization that in just a short time, he would be standing at the altar, watching his bride walk toward him.

The combination of Old Warson’s timeless charm and the groom’s effortless style made for the perfect prelude to the day. As the final touches were made and boutonnieres were pinned, he was ready—not just for the ceremony, but to see Allison walk down the aisle.

Following her arrival, just outside of the church, Allison stepped up behind her dad, taking a steadying breath before he turned around. The second he saw her, his expression softened—eyes taking in every detail, the weight of the moment settling in.

No big words were needed. Just a quiet pause, a proud smile, and a tight hug that said everything. In just a few minutes, he’d walk her down the aisle, but for now, it was just the two of them—one last moment together.

Ceremony-Our Lady of Pillar Church

As the doors opened, and Allison stepped onto the aisle, a hush fell over the room. She was radiant, every step toward Hunter filled with anticipation and love. His expression said it all—the kind of look that speaks louder than words, a mix of awe, admiration, and overwhelming emotion.

The traditional Catholic mass was a beautiful reflection of their faith and commitment. Every reading, every vow, and every moment of quiet prayer wove together the foundation of their marriage.

One of the most touching moments came during the exchange of vows, where their voices carried the weight of promises made not just to each other, but before their families, friends, and faith. And when the words “You may now kiss the bride” were spoken, the church erupted in joyful applause—a moment of pure bliss as they sealed their union with a kiss.

Hand in hand, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt made their way down the aisle as husband and wife, beaming as guests cheered for them. The doors of the church swung open, revealing a golden afternoon light—a perfect symbol of the bright and beautiful future ahead as they shared a kiss.

After the ceremony, the wedding party brought the energy—laughing, celebrating, and making every photo a moment to remember. Their sweet dog, Packer even made a quick appearance, stealing the spotlight for a special photo with Allison and Hunter before they soaked in the golden hour for their first portraits as husband and wife.

Allison and Hunter made their grand entrance to cheers and applause, kicking off an evening filled with heartfelt toasts, unforgettable dances, and a fun celebration with their favorite people. The evening took on an even more personal touch when the bride’s father surprised everyone by taking out his guitar and playing a special song while her sister’s heartfelt performance filled the air with emotion, and joy.

The night was made even more fun with a live band, creating the perfect soundtrack for the celebration and keeping the energy high on the dance floor.

From emotional speeches to a packed dance floor every moment reflected the joy of the day. As the night drew to a close, the newlyweds made a grand exit surrounded by cold sparklers, waving goodbye to their close family and bridal party before stepping into their next chapter together.
