Charlotte and Jack’s intimate fall wedding at UNION in Kansas City blended thoughtful design, elevated details, and heartfelt significance into one unforgettable Sunday celebration. The couple discovered UNION through The Knot after taking a style quiz, and instantly fell in love with the venue’s aesthetic, flexibility, and ability to host an intimate yet elevated Kansas City wedding.
A Wedding Date Full of Meaning
October 5th wasn’t just any fall Sunday; it marked three milestones in Charlotte and Jack’s love story. The date was not only their wedding day, but also the anniversary of their engagement and their relationship. Choosing a day so symbolic set the tone for a wedding that felt authentic, emotional, and truly reflective of who they are as a couple.
From the date itself to the warm, romantic atmosphere they created inside UNION’s industrial-meets-elegant space, every detail felt intentional and deeply personal.
Soaking in Every Moment
Thanks to UNION’s 24-hour rentals, Charlotte and Jack were able to get ready at UNION, and spend time with their wedding party prior to the celebration beginning. Intimate first looks were shared between Charlotte and her father, and later Charlotte and Jack.
Transforming UNION Kansas City with Warmth, Texture & Romance
Known for its industrial architecture and open, versatile layout, UNION Kansas City was transformed into a lush, romantic setting through thoughtful design choices.
Greenery wrapped the venue’s iconic columns, while drapery and rose arches framed the ceremony space, softening the industrial elements and creating a warm, intimate atmosphere. Overhead, chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a romantic glow that elevated the entire space and made it feel both sophisticated and inviting.
The result? A perfect balance of modern Kansas City wedding venue vibes with timeless romance.
A Fall-Inspired Color Palette That Felt Earthy & Elevated
Charlotte and Jack leaned into an earthy fall wedding color palette that felt rich, warm, and refined. Shades of mauve, maroon, and mocha grounded the design, while deep olive and sage tones appeared throughout the greenery and bridesmaid dresses.
The contrast between the muted florals and lush greenery added depth and dimension, perfectly complementing UNION’s neutral interior and architectural details.
An Elevated Dining Experience with a Traditional Touch
To enhance the guest experience, the couple opted for a delicious plated dinner by Culinary Creations, creating a seamless and elevated flow to the evening. Their menu leaned classic and comforting, featuring:
Brie tartlets
Spinach salad
Grilled chicken and steak
Creamy mashed potatoes
UNION’s farmhouse tables were styled with bud vases and candlelight, cream gauze runners, gold silverware, and soft light-green napkins, creating a tablescape that felt romantic, understated, and perfectly aligned with the overall aesthetic.
Cake, Champagne, and a Packed Dance Floor
Instead of a traditional cake cutting, guests enjoyed multi-toned mauve macarons, beautifully displayed on the cake stand and perfectly tied into the wedding’s color palette. It was a small detail that made a big impression and added an extra layer of personality to the celebration.
Dinner concluded with a champagne pass and heartfelt speeches, seamlessly transitioning into the party portion of the evening. As the dance floor opened, lighting from the DJ booth shifted from warm white tones to vibrant colors, energizing the space and keeping guests dancing well into the night.
Later, Charlotte and Jack slipped away with their wedding party for a sparkler exit on UNION’s rooftop, capturing stunning photos against the Kansas City skyline; a moment their loved ones enjoyed just as much as the couple.
