How are we in the last month of 2024?? As our last blog post this year, we are featuring L & C’s refined, sophisticated, and timeless mansion wedding. Everything about their day gave “old money vibes” in all the right ways!

Planning for and designing L & C’s wedding was truly a labor of love. Over the course of our 17 month wedding planning journey, we led and managed every planning milestone, coordinated many site visits, gathered samples and swatches, negotiated and reviewed dozens of quotes and proposals, revisited the budget at every turn, navigated tricky personal situations, and built multiple moodboard and mockups to curate a perfect and personalized wedding. Knowing that L &C were so happy on their wedding day (and seeing it in person!) made all this work worthwhile.

To design their elegant and refined wedding, we leaned into the vibe of the grand mansion venue and focused on elevating all the details. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and chosen. Colors included natural shades of ivory & beige, blush pink, and salmon orange peach. Building out the reception tablescape and layout was a challenging but fun experience. The reception hall was all moody and dark wood. So, to bring more light and visually “brighten and lighten” the space, we picked out neutral colors in the table linens and chairs. We diligently prepared and acquire samples of all the linens and napkins to make sure that the color palette paired well with our floral and candle selections. Delicate-yet-colorful florals were arranged in gorgeous ceramics and the candles were neutral in color. The Bride also worked hard in hand-making beautiful pressed florals for each guest’s placecard. The reception hall gave “Harry Potter Great Hall” vibes so we ran with it by having guests dine “dining hall” style with long banquet tables. Now, this kind of dining experience could potentially limit guest interactions, so we made sure that the layout and centerpieces were conducive to building conversations across more seats than the ones directly next to each guest.

Wedding couple and bridal party attire were intentionally chosen to complement our overall classy aesthetic. We absolutely loved the Bride’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”-esque dress, with a gorgeous sash and long gloves. With the Groom in a handsome black tux, the two made a stunning pair.

Guests enjoyed an outdoor Ceremony and Cocktail Hour in the most perfect warm weather. We entertained guests with delicious modern Asian cuisine and desserts of Boba and Mochi Donuts to honor the couple’s Chinese heritage! In lieu of a traditional cake-cutting moment, the couple chose to do a champagne tower toast in high-society fashion! And then, guests partied the night away with fun music and dancing.
