A Winter Wedding Dream at Old Blue Rooster | Emilie + Russell’s Big Day
There’s just something magical about a winter wedding in Ohio — the crisp air, cozy details, and love that warms up even the coldest day. On Saturday, January 25, 2025, Emilie and Russell tied the knot at the Old Blue Rooster Event Center in Lithopolis, Ohio, and their wedding was nothing short of unforgettable.





From the moment we arrived, it was clear this day was going to be special. Emilie, the stunning bride, chose the Goode Beauty Team for her bridal hair and makeup, and we were so honored to be part of such an intimate and joyful celebration. Her bridal look was timeless and romantic — soft, radiant skin, glowing makeup, and an elegant hairstyle that held beautifully throughout the day (yes, even through dancing!).
The Bride’s Look
Emilie wore a gown that fit her like a dream — a delicate lace dress with sleeves that added just the right touch of vintage charm. The intricate lace details framed her face and neckline perfectly, complementing her natural beauty and the effortless bridal glam we created for her. Her look was both classic and modern, making her feel confident, comfortable, and completely herself as she walked down the aisle.
The Bridal Party
The bride’s four bridesmaids were just as lovely, each dressed in flowing silvery blue gowns that shimmered beautifully under the winter light. We created soft, cohesive looks for each bridesmaid, highlighting their natural features while tying into the elegant, cool-toned palette of the day.
The Ceremony + Celebration
The couple exchanged vows outdoors, surrounded by loved ones and the serene, rustic backdrop of Old Blue Rooster’s charming countryside setting. Yes — even in January! The outdoor ceremony felt intimate and heartfelt, with just enough chill in the air to make the cozy reception indoors even more inviting.
Inside, the celebration came alive with amazing food, joyful toasts, and plenty of dancing. The reception space at Old Blue Rooster was beautifully decorated to match the couple’s style — a blend of rustic charm and modern elegance that perfectly suited Emilie and Russell’s laid-back yet sophisticated vibe.
