Introduction

Grace and Austin Gerwig celebrated their May wedding at Oak Grove at Jorgensen Farms in Westerville, Ohio. Their timeless black-and-white wedding paired the character of the venue’s greenhouse with white draping, abundant garden-inspired florals and refined black accents. Soft candlelight and hints of blush added warmth to the classic palette.

Beyond its elegant appearance, the celebration was filled with personal meaning. Grace’s brother officiated the ceremony, while a thoughtfully reserved chair honored loved ones who could not be present. Robb McCormick Photography preserved the day through luminous portraits and detailed images of the greenhouse setting.

Why This Wedding Stands Out

Grace and Austin first met at TownHall in the Short North after an Ohio State football game. Their Columbus love story eventually led them to Oak Grove, where they exchanged vows surrounded by their closest friends and family.

The ceremony balanced elegance with deeply personal touches. Grace’s brother served as the officiant, while a memorial chair honored family members who remained close to the couple’s hearts. The detail reflected the intentional spirit found throughout the celebration.

Grace credits photographer Robb McCormick Photography with helping the day feel calm and organized. “His expertise put us at ease,” she shared. “We knew the day would run smoothly with him around.”

The Black-and-White Design Vision & Wedding Palette

The greenhouse at Oak Grove created a naturally striking foundation for the wedding’s black-and-white palette. Airy white fabric was draped beneath the exposed greenhouse framework, while strings of warm bulbs softened the structure and brought a romantic glow to the ceremony.

Jorgensen Floral designed abundant arrangements of white roses, hydrangeas and delicate blooms layered with fresh greenery. Floral pieces lined the aisle, framed the ceremony and formed a dramatic installation above the couple. At the entrance, a black-framed mirrored welcome sign introduced the timeless palette beside an overflowing white floral arrangement.

The reception carried the same design forward with white linens, black flatware and centerpieces combining roses, greenery, baby’s breath and candles in varied glass vessels. We Rent Chairs provided the ceremony seating, while Eden Rentals supplied the reception dance floor.

Bridal Style & Fashion Details

Grace wore a strapless gown from Radiant Bride featuring a structured bodice and a sculptural gathered skirt. A long veil and an all-white bouquet completed her timeless bridal look. Lauren Wolff Hair Design styled her dark hair in polished waves, while Makeover by Elizabeth created her wedding-day makeup.

Austin complemented the black-and-white design in a classic black tuxedo from Ticknors. The wedding party continued the formal palette with black attire from Azazie and white floral bouquets.

Ceremony & Reception Experience

The ceremony took place inside Oak Grove’s greenhouse, where rows of natural wood chairs led to a floral-filled altar. Grace and Austin exchanged vows beneath a suspended arrangement of white flowers and greenery before sharing their first kiss surrounded by the bright, garden-like setting.

The celebration continued at Jorgensen Farms with catering and bartending provided by the venue’s in-house teams. Guests were welcomed to tables accented with candlelight, floral centerpieces and menus created to complement the minimal black-and-white stationery.

The Pastry Bar created a vintage-inspired white cake finished with detailed piping and the couple’s married name. Luminary Productions, with Mike DeVenny, provided the evening’s entertainment.

Planning Takeaways From This Wedding

A black-and-white palette can feel soft and romantic when layered with greenery, candlelight and subtle blush tones.
Repeating the same floral varieties throughout the ceremony and reception creates a cohesive design.
A greenhouse provides the natural beauty of an outdoor wedding with the comfort of a covered ceremony space.
Working with experienced professionals can help a couple feel more relaxed and present throughout the day.
Personal details, such as a family officiant or memorial display, add meaning without disrupting an elevated design.

Grace’s advice to other couples is simple: “It goes by so quickly—let go of the little things that no one will notice and be present.”

She also encourages couples to begin early, noting that one of her greatest planning lessons was, “It’s never too early to start!”
