From Mandy Ford Photography… With this styled wedding we wanted to showcase warm, sun drenched tones in an intimate light. Many brides are looking for alternative smaller wedding inspiration, without having to sacrifice guest experience. We were inspired by the beautiful food Miho Catering prepared. Food and drink are a wonderful way to provide an immersive experience for guests during the pandemic.

Cocktails with a custom edible floral arrangement were served in a beautiful lounge setup. In similar fashion, the wedding cake had a custom layering of similar edible garnish. For warmth, the team brought in not just warm tones, but warm textures. The groom wore a beautiful mauve suit by Friar Tux with a mustard bowtie. Though weddings may be a little smaller in guest count, we believe brides do not need to sacrifice their vision. Our bride chose a whimsical ceremony look and a more casual lounge look by The Dress theory.

Soft and playful florals dripping in warm tones accented the groom’s attire in a spectacular fashion. Cane texture and pops of rattan brought a natural element, which paired nicely with clean, modern lines from the white, modern ceremony chairs.
