A Grand Celebration of Love

A Grand Celebration of Love: Skyla & JonRyheem’s Elegant Courtyard Wedding at Grand America

Some weddings stop you in your tracks—and Skyla and JonRyheem’s summer celebration at The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City was exactly that. With its timeless architecture, European charm, and sun-drenched courtyard, the venue set the perfect stage for a wedding filled with grace, beauty, and all-white floral elegance.

Under a sweeping arch of ivory blooms and lush greenery, Skyla and JonRyheem exchanged vows surrounded by loved ones and the warm glow of a summer afternoon. The floral design was intentionally soft and luxurious: garden roses, hydrangea, delphinium, and cascading amaranthus came together to create a statement arch that felt both organic and grand. It framed the couple beautifully against the iconic arched windows of the Grand.

Skyla was a vision in a romantic textured gown with a long, flowing veil that caught the breeze just right. Her bouquet was a dreamy collection of white peonies, roses, and delicate tendrils of greenery—a perfect match for the lush floral story surrounding the ceremony.

JonRyheem looked sharp and confident in a tailored slate suit, with a boutonnière echoing the timeless whites and soft greens of Skyla’s bouquet.

The entire day radiated elegance, but it was also deeply personal—grounded in love, family, and intentional beauty. From the soft rustle of fresh foliage in the breeze to the couple’s quiet smiles under the arch, every moment felt touched by grace.

This celebration at Grand America was a dream in white—a reflection of Skyla and JonRyheem’s love story: strong, classic, and filled with light.
