In this article, we will take a closer look at the planning process, fashion choices, and special details that made E’s wedding day a truly unforgettable experience.
The Planning:
Design/Vibe/Vision:
E and her partner envisioned a wedding ceremony nestled within a picturesque garden, surrounded by towering trees and delicate petals lining the aisle. They wanted to create a magical and whimsical atmosphere that invited guests to lose themselves in the beauty of the moment. The goal was to create an experience that captured the essence of their relationship and left a lasting impression on all who attended.
Proposal Story:
Damien proposed to E at a local park while they were enjoying a family picnic. As they sat under the shade of a gazebo, Damien surprised E with a heartfelt proposal speech before getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him.
Fashion:
E had three beautiful dresses for her wedding day. For the morning church ceremony, she wore an ao dai, a traditional Vietnamese dress that symbolizes beauty and pride. For the second ceremony, she wore an A-line dress by Justin Alexander with floral appliqué and lace detail. Lastly, for the reception, she wore a mini dress with an ostrich feather trim from Bronx and Banco. Damien wore a classic black tuxedo from Suitsupply.
Bridesmaid Dresses:
The bridal party was kept simple, with one maid of honor and one best man. The maid of honor wore a simple champagne slip dress with a cowl neck, while the best man wore a matching black tuxedo.
The Details:
Food & Drink:
The wedding menu was designed to reflect the mixed cultures and ethnic backgrounds of the guest list. The cocktail hour featured a Mediterranean platter, Korean fried chicken, and burger sliders. The main course included steak, salmon, and a fresh salad. The dessert table was filled with sweet treats, an ice cream station, and a boba bar. The open bar was stocked with local wines and premium liquor. The wedding ended with a ramen bar for late-night munchies.
Florals & Decor:
The florist, Azalea from Wild & Behold Florals, did an incredible job of bringing E’s vision to life. The venue was decorated with a melody of peonies, ranunculi, and garden roses. Large floral arrangements held by pillars and urns framed the aisles and sweetheart table, creating a whimsical garden soiree.
Wedding Cake:
The three-tiered wedding cake was simple and elegant, adorned with the wedding flowers for a beautiful touch of color and freshness. The white buttercream icing provided the perfect backdrop for the lush blooms, giving the cake a playful and whimsical feel. The flavors were death by chocolate and banana bread, made possible by MM Creamery.
Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs:
For the ceremony, Seaside Strings, a string quartet, played a mix of traditional and contemporary songs. The reception songs included today’s top radio hits mixed with millennial throwbacks. Guests also had the chance to request their favorite songs.
Special Details:
E and her partner had two ceremonies on the same day. The first ceremony was held at the Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA, while the second ceremony was held at Calamigos Ranch, a small getaway resort nestled in the center of the Santa Monica Mountains. The second ceremony allowed them to exchange personal vows in a more fun and relaxed atmosphere. Exchanging vows was E’s favorite part of the day, as it was a moment they shared together without the wedding day bustle.
Conclusion:
E’s wedding day was a beautiful and magical affair, filled with stunning details and special touches that made it a day to remember. From the picturesque garden ceremony to the delicious food and drink and whimsical decor, every aspect of the wedding was carefully planned and executed to perfection. It was an honor to capture these timeless moments, and we hope that this article will inspire others to create their dream wedding day.
