The Gallery in Omaha was the perfect setting for Nebraska Wedding Day’s Best of 2023 gala with its modern architecture and chic spaces for mingling. The inspiration for this year's black-tie event was timeless elegance featuring a neutral palette designed by Styled in White Events. Florals from Ethereal Floral Studio adorned tables with classic white roses as signage from Dana Osborne Design effortlessly played into the theme. Rentals from Honeyman Rent-All and the black-and-white checkered dance floor by Vogue Photo Events added a touch of luxe.
Upon arrival, guests were welcomed with a grand installation by Wall Flower Events where you could ring the bell for a glass of bubbly. Small bites from Omaha Marriott Downtown at the Capitol District and delicious desserts from The Rabbit Hole Bakery were passed as Bel Canto Duo created an enchanting ambience with their music. Disco balls and marquee lighting set a cinematic tone for the upcoming awards. Owner and CEO Sonja Babich started off the awards ceremony with an inspiring speech. Then Publisher Brooke Beise gave opening remarks before presenting the Editor's Choice awards honoring the best trends in design and photography from the wedding season. Finally, the Best of 2023 awards were handed out, based on votes from the public and the Nebraska wedding industry.
The wins were a catalyst for celebration as everyone gathered to the dance floor where Downtown Collective gave an unforgettable performance. To remember the incredible evening, memories were captured by Complete Weddings and Events’ Photo Booth and Foto Fun Spot’s audio guestbook. From start to finish the Nebraska Wedding Day Best of 2023 gala recognized and reveled in the talent and energy of the Nebraska wedding community.
