Sometimes the best styling ideas come from the people closest to you. This couple wanted to keep things simple, but a friend stepped in and said, “Let me take care of the details.” The result was beautiful — thoughtful touches that brought the whole wedding to life without overwhelming it.
One of our favorite features was the old wooden ladder you see here. It’s an antique piece we keep in the lending closet, and it has been used in so many different ways over the years. For this wedding, it became a creative display, tying together the rustic and elegant elements of the day.
That’s one of the joys of Mitchell Grove weddings: even when you keep your budget and style simple, a friend or family member can step in to help, and the lending closet provides pieces that make it all possible. You don’t need to buy or rent everything — you can pull from what’s already here and let your people add their own magic.
