A Timeless Black & White Celebration at Stockdale Country Club
Planned by Master Wedding Planner Colleen Bauer, Fairy Godmother Events
Classic, elegant, and filled with heart—Morgan and Justin’s wedding was a masterclass in timeless design and thoughtful planning. Held on March 22, 2025, this black-and-white celebration welcomed 120 guests to an unforgettable day where love, intention, and refined details came together seamlessly.
At the helm of this stunning event was Colleen Bauer, MWP, of Fairy Godmother Events Inc., who led the couple through a full planning journey spanning just over a year. The result? A wedding that felt both grand and deeply personal—effortlessly elegant from ceremony to last dance.
A Vision Rooted in Elegance and Emotion
From the very beginning, Morgan came to the planning process with a clear yet graceful vision: a wedding that felt classic, enduring, and heartfelt. Her warm spirit and natural elegance set the tone for the entire design, while her relationship with Justin—tender, joyful, and deeply connected—became the true inspiration behind every choice.
“The way Justin looked at Morgan, their heartfelt vows, and the sweet moments they shared throughout the day reminded us why we do what we do,” shared the Fairy Godmother Events team. “Their love was present in every detail.”
Working closely with Event Designer Kimberly Thiesen, the planning and design team translated Morgan’s vision into a cohesive black-and-white palette that felt timeless rather than trendy—elevated by texture, candlelight, and intentional layout choices.
Design Highlights That Defined the Day
While every element was thoughtfully curated, several standout features elevated the guest experience and transformed the space:
Curved Ceremony Seating:
Set beneath a breathtaking tree at the back of Stockdale Country Club, the ceremony location was expansive. To create intimacy, the team curved the seating layout, drawing guests inward and framing the couple in a way that felt warm, intentional, and beautifully connected.A Beloved Pup in the Ceremony:
Including the couple’s sweet dog added a personal, joy-filled moment that guests won’t soon forget.Family-Style Reception Tables:
Long tables dressed in crisp white linens, paired with black chairs and surrounded by hundreds of glowing candles, created a romantic and welcoming atmosphere that encouraged connection.An Intimate Champagne Tower:
A celebratory focal point that blended classic glamour with a sense of shared joy.Timeless Photography:

The result was a reception that felt equal parts luxurious and inviting—proof that classic design never goes out of style.
Collaboration Behind the Scenes
This wedding was truly a team effort. With two planners, a dedicated designer, and a four-person setup team, Fairy Godmother Events was able to focus on creative execution while partnering seamlessly with the venue’s staff.
Special thanks go to Susan and her team at Stockdale Country Club, who handled the main setup and strike, allowing the planners to devote their energy fully to design details and guest experience.
Overcoming Challenges with Intention
One of the biggest challenges was scale—designing an intimate ceremony in a large outdoor space for a relatively modest guest count. The solution? Curved seating, thoughtful spacing, and a design approach that prioritized connection over size.
“The result was absolutely beautiful,” the team shared. “It felt intentional, warm, and perfectly suited to Morgan and Justin.”
Key Takeaways from the Planning Journey
This wedding reinforced a core philosophy of Fairy Godmother Events: listening matters.
Morgan’s trust throughout the process allowed the planning team to fully bring her vision to life in a way that felt authentic and meaningful. It was a reminder that when clients feel heard and supported, the end result is something truly special.
And if asked what they would do differently?
“Nothing at all. It was an incredible day from beginning to end.”
