From the beautiful bride, Laura…

The ‘mood’ of our wedding was inspired by our venue: silver and crystal chandeliers in an otherwise plain white space.  We put together a vintage-meets-modern feel and decided the best way to decorate the loft on a relatively tight budget was not to fight it, but to complement it:  thus the colors were shades of white, black, silver, candlelight & champagne.  When Annie, of Daughter by Design, brought us down to see the space fully decorated, after cocktail hour, I immediately knew it was the best choice we could have made.

We went with very minimal flowers, mostly to save money but also because I wanted the candlelight to be the focus.  So we filled the tables with candlesticks (from CB2), floating candles in tall tapered glass vases, and tons of votives;  small arrangements of hydrangea and freesia were accents. I’m a designer, and I made all of the paper goods other than the invitations – menus, programs, escort cards, signs, etc.
