Alex and Brock share their stunning intimate enchanted forest wedding at Art Deco venue la maquette.
What contributed to success of your wedding ceremony making it so gorgeous and meaningful for you and your guests?
Our vows and our incredible officiant, Tade (The Marrying Lady) are definitely what really created an intimate experience for our guests. Brock and I are both confident in expressing our feelings to one another and I feel like our vows were an opportunity to give our guests a closer look into how connected we are as a couple. Tade, has such a calm yet lively presence, and she made us feel at ease both before and during our ceremony. Our guests loved her ceremony delivery and were engaged throughout.
What were your thoughts when you first received your sneek peek album back, what were your first thoughts?
We were so excited, since Catherine is such a talented photographer. We love her documentary style approach to wedding photography, so we knew the first pictures would definitely encapsulate a lot of emotion. It was such a joy to relive one of the best days of our lives!
“The details are not details. They make the design.” Charles Eames. Reflecting on this quote how do you fell all the design choices and details came together so effectively to make such a stunning cohesive setting for your wedding day?
We worked with such incredible, attentive, and caring vendors. We shared our romantic and moody vision and they went above and beyond to meet our expectations. Victoria from Thorn Floral really blew us away with her work, creating an enchanted forest for our guests.
As for the little details, we took our time and thrifted a lot the table setting pieces. A lot of care and effort went into making these special touches. I know people say that guests don’t notice them, but based on the constant positive feedback, it was definitely worth it!
From the moment you were engaged up until your wedding day what stands out as an experience you really enjoyed in the planning process?
As mentioned previously, it was such an enjoyable experience creating every element of our special day. The anticipation of this incredible celebration with all of our friends and family, and dreaming of it all coming together, was definitely a highlight.
