Today, we are featuring one of those weddings that everyone can love. Although not all brides swoon at the site of a fabulous loft affair, as I do, I think that it’s fair to say that all brides swoon at the site of gorgeousness…in every shape and size!

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.
