Warm Welcome: Sunny Welcome Party at Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel

Setting a celebratory tone for their Omaha wedding weekend, Morgan and Ryan hosted a sun-soaked pool party at Kimpton Cotton Hotel, the very venue where they would say “I do” the following day. Originally from Nebraska, Morgan cherished the opportunity to welcome loved ones back to the place she called home, while also introducing Ryan’s East Coast family and friends to her home state. Now based in Baltimore, the couple embraced the weekend as a destination-style celebration, bringing together guests from across the country.

Guests gathered at the iconic downtown gem for a weekend full of personal details and intention. Upon arrival, loved ones were greeted with curated welcome bags crafted by the bride herself, blending elements of Nebraska and Baltimore, along with a custom old fashioned mix made by the couple to kick off the celebration. Awash in pastel summer hues, the playful poolside welcome party served as a vibrant prelude to the festivities ahead. --Sydney Stevens
