Elizabeth & Carter’s Elegant Summer Wedding at Vitria on the Square

For Elizabeth Pero and Carter Blossey, Columbus is where their story began. After meeting during their senior year at Ohio State, the couple celebrated their wedding on June 28, 2025, with a ceremony at St. Brigid of Kildare and a reception at Vitria on the Square.

Soft sage tones, white florals and gold accents created an elegant summer celebration. With month-of coordination by Aisle & Co., photography by Queen Anne’s Lace Photography and entertainment from Party Pleasers Services, their day brought together classic style and a meaningful connection to the city where they met.

Why This Wedding Stands Out

Elizabeth and Carter’s celebration paired a church ceremony with a bright, contemporary reception near Ohio State. With their relationship beginning during their senior year at the university, the Columbus setting added a personal connection to the day.

Their photographs capture both the polished details and the joyful moments between them: Elizabeth’s bridesmaids smiling and applauding, the couple tucked beneath her veil, and Carter helping carry her gown outside Vitria.

Elizabeth also shared how much she appreciated photographer Larralyn Webb of Queen Anne’s Lace Photography:

“Our photographer, Larralyn Webb – she was the first vendor I found and she helped so much with finalizing our timeline and easing stress during the planning process!”

The Design Vision & Wedding Palette

White florals, soft green accents and gold chairs complemented Vitria on the Square’s expansive windows and airy reception space. Round tables dressed in white linens featured pale green napkins, glassware and floral arrangements by Botanica Floral.

A mix of low centerpieces and elevated arrangements added dimension throughout the room, while candles brought another layer of warmth to the tables. Botanica supplied florals, floral stands and candles, with additional candles and linens provided by Vitria.

The soft palette carried into the wedding party’s sage dresses, while the couple’s invitation suite featured delicate script on white stationery. Paper details from Avant-Garde Impressions connected the invitations with the celebration’s signage, place cards and ceremony programs.

Bridal Style & Fashion Details

Elizabeth wore a Watters gown from La Jeune Mariee, featuring a textured bodice, slender straps and a flowing train. A Tony Federici veil completed her romantic bridal look.

Denise Chesser styled her hair in soft, partially pinned waves, and Erica Eigensee provided her bridal makeup. Elizabeth’s white bouquet complemented the gown’s delicate detailing and the wedding’s understated floral palette.

Carter wore attire from The Black Tux, pairing an ivory dinner jacket with black trousers and a black bow tie. Together, their looks offered a classic complement to the soft summer colors.

Ceremony & Reception Experience

Elizabeth and Carter exchanged vows at St. Brigid of Kildare with Deacon Stephen Petrill officiating. Ceremony music included cantor Julie Gelenko, trumpet by Ryan Harris and strings by Opus 216.

The celebration continued at Vitria on the Square, where Columbus Musicians provided harp and violin music during cocktail hour. Vitria handled catering and bartending, while Alice’s Piece of Cake created the wedding cake.

DJ Cylas with Party Pleasers Services provided reception entertainment. Caitlin Hageman of Aisle & Co. served as the couple’s month-of coordinator, and Kodjo Videography documented the day on film.

Planning Takeaways From This Wedding

• Invest in coordination support. Elizabeth named the importance of having a good coordinator as a key lesson from planning.
• Make time together a priority. Her advice for other couples was simple: “Stick by your partner as much as you can throughout the day!”
• Carry your palette across several details. Sage dresses and pale green napkins connected the wedding party’s style with the reception design.
• Consider different musical experiences throughout the day. Ceremony musicians, a harp and violin duo, and a reception DJ each brought something distinct to this celebration.
• Let the venue’s architecture complement the décor. White florals and soft colors worked beautifully with Vitria’s bright windows and open reception setting.
