Okay, now it’s official: this wedding is to awesome for a Wednesday! We love that the bride + groom, in addition to creating some truly stunning portraits with Forever Photography, had fun with their big day. Crowns, scepters and mustache props? Awe-some! Michelle’s Patisserie designed a simple, effortlessly chic four-tier cake, while Visual Lyrics styled low arrangements of rustic blooms for the outdoor celebration. Not ready for the fun to end? Take a peek at Forever Photography’s post on Christina + Mitch’s day!
Describe your flowers: We chose an unusual color palette for the wedding: black, silver and taupe. I wanted flowers that went with this theme. My bouquet had black succulents, taupe roses, schwartz calla lilies, monkey tails, silver dusty miller, stephanotis with a black bead, a gray cameo broach and gray ribbon. Some of the tables had 5 unique shaped vases with flowers of different heights and textures (white veronica, taupe roses, monkey tails, scabiosa pods and bunny tails). The other tables had white birch boxes with different flower textures in silver protea, white agapanthus, black succulents, monkey tails and ivory amaranths. There were 2 large wooden square cocktail tables inside which had bubble bowls with silver protea, black succulents and ivory hanging amaranths.
Describe your wedding cake: It was a 4-tiered white cake. All the tiers were a different sizes and heights. The cake was very smooth and had a black ribbon on each tier. It also had a spun sugar flower that matched the belt on my dress. It was almond cream and classic vanilla.
What was the most memorable moment about your wedding day? My most memorable moment of the day was our first look. I wouldn’t tell him anything about my dress or my look. He had no idea why we chose black, silver and taupe as the wedding colors. I was so nervous walking out to see him. He turned around and we both got teary (I cried). It was such a great moment and the pictures of it are priceless. I cried when I saw them. It was so great seeing each other beforehand. I loved it because we got to spend more time together. We had so much fun taking silly pictures with our bridal party after that.
Did you write your own vows? We combined several non-traditional vows and made our own.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? Babies! And having a family together.
Beautiful pictures!! Looks like it was a fun wedding.
