Real Weddings: Rachel & Bill

Lisa Edzards • Mar 10, 2020

Rachel + Bill

Rachel and Bill had the challenge of planning their wedding all the way from California. Their love story began in Kansas City, and they knew Kansas City was the destination for their wedding day. One look at Longview Mansion, with the help of her mother coordinating photos and virtual tours and they knew this was their wedding venue. 
Rachel and Bill's style was full of romance, class, and whimsey. The wedding dress and veil by Hayley Paige featured a low scooped back and a gorgeous, full train. Rachel incorporated the serene color pallet of barely blues, lush greenery, and the classic black and white with pops of fresh cut Anemones by florist Victorian Gardens by Amy Cason.
The pavilion was transformed into a dreamy, garden, greenhouse with greenery draped from the gorgeous chandeliers. Rachel and Bill had a mixture of farm house tables in Tuscany rows and round guest tables with crisp, white linens. The place settings with rentals from Ultra Pom had a mixture of rustic wood and modern metals. A special note from the bride and groom with a sprig of fresh rosemary added a special touch. We were swooning over the handcrafted, copper table numbers. Guess who made them? Her dad!! Made with love, for sure!
The night ended with dancing, dancing and more dancing! No one wanted the party to end, but when it came time to send the newlywed couple on their way, their friends and family parted the path in a beautifully lit up sparkler exit dream. Congratulations to Bill and Rachel! Your Kansas City love story left us with the fondest memories at Longview Mansion.

Real Weddings Sierra + Nick

By Lisa Edzards • 21 Feb, 2020
Nick and Sierra could not have picked a more gorgeous, fall day in October to get married at the Historic Longview Mansion. The temperature was PERFECT, the trees popped the most glorious and vibrant shades of autumn, and most importantly they were surrounded with those they cherish as they exchanged their vows.

Choosing a Wedding Venue

By Lisa Edzards • 17 Jul, 2019
You're engaged! The proposal was everything you ever dreamed it would be and more. Now comes the planning and top on that list is finding the perfect wedding venue for your big day! Undoubtfully this will be one of the biggest decisions in the wedding planning process, so it's good to start planning out all of your options right away. Once you've tackled the basics such as budget, availability, and capacity, you'll want to think about all the other fine details that will leave you confident about your big day! 1.You'll want to think about the accessibility of your venue. Is it easy to find? Does the venue have ample parking for your guests? Is it handicap accessible? Can my venue accommodate both my ceremony and reception? At Longview Mansion the answer is YES!! Not only can we accommodate both the ceremony and reception, but you can rest easy that we offer both indoor and outdoor ceremony locations so there is always a back up plan no matter what weather brings us on wedding day. 2. What is included in my rental? Does my venue supply chairs, tables, linens, china, flatware, and glassware? If your venue offers these extras, you won't have to stress with added rentals and an increase in budget expenses. Consider the ambiance of your venue. What existing decor does the venue have? An already beautiful room, such as Longview Mansion requires very little added decoration.
