Real Wedding: Carmelita and Dan, II

April 16th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 9 comments

When I first saw this wedding, it was the ceremony that honestly took my breath away. Something about the simplicity of the style, the perfect silhouette of the bride’s gown, the joy that is radiating from everyone. It’s just pure beauty.

From Carmelita…

It was important to us to represent our cultures (Jewish and Filipino/Irish) in a non-denominational ceremony.  Daniel’s father created our chuppah from green bamboo and my mother sewed the fabric for the canopy.  We also incorporated the Filipino veil ceremony.  (The Irish side was most clearly represented by the variety of whiskey offered at the reception.)

Karen Wise is the genius behind the photographs and she has so much more in store for you guys today. Back in a bit!

    That last picture is just gorgeous! The way he's holding and kissing her hands, and the way she's looking back at him. *Tear*

    Hi Jessica,
    Carmelita's dress was designed by Selia Yang: www.seliayang.com.
    :)

    I was hesitant about incorporating traditional Filipino elements into my wedding, but the veil ceremony photograph is so lovely that now I can't imagine my wedding without it. This venue is so stunning, and every detail is just perfection, from the sweet pink boutonnieres to the white crystal chandelier. It literally takes my breath away.
