A Season in Bloom: Spring Weddings at The Lageret
Spring at The Lageret is always a season of transformation.
As the days grow longer and Wisconsin begins to bloom, couples bring fresh inspiration, vibrant color palettes, and unique design visions into our historic venue. From romantic garden-inspired florals and dramatic ceremony installations to candlelit receptions and timeless neutral palettes, each wedding this spring reflected the personalities and stories of the couples we were honored to celebrate.
One of the defining elements throughout the season was the artistry of Flora by Jamae. From colorful floral arches and lush ceremony installations to elegant white arrangements and thoughtfully curated reception details, each design helped transform The Lageret in a completely unique way while complementing the venue's historic brick walls, soaring timber beams, and warm natural light.

Ashley + Wesley — April 2026
Ashley and Wesley's wedding embraced the beauty of late spring with one of the most memorable ceremony designs of the season. Soft draping transformed the ceremony space while an abundant floral arch created a stunning focal point beneath The Lageret's historic beams.
The floral installation, designed by Flora by Jamae, blended coral garden roses, delicate blue delphinium, hydrangeas, and whimsical spring blooms to create a look that felt both elegant and joyful. The colors brought warmth and movement to the space while perfectly complementing the venue's exposed brick and natural wood details.
Beyond the ceremony, the floral design carried throughout the day, adding layers of texture, color, and personality to every corner of the celebration.

Jessica + Tanner — June 2026
Jessica and Tanner's wedding beautifully blended soft, organic florals with The Lageret's historic industrial character. A palette of crisp white blooms and fresh greenery created a timeless yet effortlessly romantic atmosphere throughout the day.
Their floral design featured elegant calla lilies, garden roses, ranunculus, hydrangea, and delicate textural greenery woven throughout the venue. Guests were welcomed into a ceremony space transformed by lush floral installations suspended from the historic wood beams overhead. Cascading greenery and white blooms drew the eye upward while floral meadows lining the aisle softened the space below, creating an immersive garden-inspired setting within The Lageret's open ceremony hall.
Statement floral arrangements displayed on wood pedestals throughout the venue echoed the ceremony design and brought continuity to each space, from the grand staircase to the reception room. Jessica's bouquet carried the same organic elegance, featuring soft white blooms, cascading greenery, and beautiful texture that perfectly complemented her gown.
The celebration continued into a candlelit reception where white florals and fresh greenery were paired with soft sage green accents incorporated through the linens and table styling. The result was a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere that felt both refined and welcoming, beautifully reflecting Jessica and Tanner's vision for their day.
