The All-Inclusive Missouri Wedding Experience You've Been Dreaming Of | Addie & Seth
One Unforgettable Weekend, One Beautiful Love Story
Some wedding days just feel like they belong here, and Addie and Seth’s August wedding was one of them! With 145 of their closest friends and family, their day was filled with thoughtful details, meaningful moments, and the kind of laid-back celebration that makes a wedding weekend unforgettable. From getting ready at our Blue Sky Bus & Sunshine Skoolie glamping units to exchanging vows in the Walnut Grove, every part of their day embraced the natural beauty of Lost Hill Lake. Their ceremony featured moss-covered details, lantern-lined aisles, and a beautiful handfasting unity ceremony that made the afternoon even more personal.
The celebration actually began the night before!
Addie and Seth kicked off their wedding weekend with a relaxed rehearsal dinner at our beautiful lakeside gazebo, surrounded by their wedding party and friends.
Before settling in for the evening, everyone gathered for a wedding rehearsal walkthrough to get comfortable with the ceremony plans and make sure everything was ready for the big day. It's one of our favorite parts of hosting a full wedding weekend at Lost Hill Lake — more time together, less rushing, and plenty of opportunities to make memories before the “I do's”!
Pro Tip: The Canopy, Weekend Wedding, and Pine Micro packages include our full glamping resort rental for the weekend!
A First Look Lakeside
One of the sweetest moments of the day happened in our lakeside greenhouse chapel, where Addison shared a special first look with her wedding party, parents, grandparents and of course fiancé! Surrounded by her favorite people, it was a chance to slow down, soak in the excitement, and share a few happy tears before the big moment. We love seeing couples use this tucked-away lakeside spot for those unforgettable pre-ceremony memories!
✨And shout out to Addie and Anderson’s Bridal for the AMAZING floral dress!
The Ceremony in Walnut Grove
One of our favorite things about hosting weddings like Addie and Seth’s is seeing how couples make the property their own.
After their ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour before the couple took a little trip to Thinking Rock for a private moment overlooking the Meramec River. The evening continued with dinner, heartfelt speeches, sunset photos, and plenty of dancing.
And because every great celebration deserves a little something extra, an ice cream truck arrived to keep the party going! From the décor to the entertainment, their day was a perfect mix of meaningful traditions and fun surprises.
