This wedding is out to prove that sometimes the sleekest, chicest weddings involve no color at all. Instead, they take the black and white basics and reinvent them into something truly special. The results? A classic church ceremony paired with a lounge-style reception designed by Two B Events that’ll likely find a place on your list of wedding favorites. Taylor Made Art captured the gallery, Taylor Hawkins crafted the film, and both gorgeous bits are too good to miss.

From Two B Events…Caitlin and Colin are one of those couples who infuse love and talent into everything that they do. Their wedding was the perfect blend of clean, crisp elegance combined with unique flourishes in a magical, energetic setting. They wanted things simple, but sentimental, and so a majority of the elements we incorporated into their day were purposefully chosen to honor their faith, family, and celebrate with the friends who had brought them together. Born and raised in Hollywood, Caitlin’s decision to get married in Tinsel-Town was more of a way to reflect her roots rather than a desire to be trendy. From getting married in the church her father had attended as a kid, to arriving at the reception in the vintage checker cab that she drove around as a teenager, the beauty of this wedding went far beyond lush, white roses and a stunning, custom-made gown to reveal the union of a bride and groom who simply “gets it”.

Both being musicians, it was divine providence Colin’s groom’s room was decked out with instruments, leading to an impromptu jam session before the ceremony, while Caitlin wore a ‘Save That Pillow’ tank while getting ready as a nod to a song she had written specifically encouraging women to wait for that special someone. After the bridal party processional, Colin’s dad (who was also the officiant) began the ceremony with a flawless, a cappella rendition of The Lord’s Prayer.

Because they had a long list of loved ones they wanted to invite, Caitlin and Colin chose a lounge-style reception at the historic Women’s Club of Hollywood in order to foster a more festive and communal atmosphere than a formal, sit-down dinner could provide. Guests were free to mingle under the chandeliers among cocktail tables and sofa arrangements while sipping on the father of the bride’s infamous martinis and helping themselves to a spread of artisanal meats, cheeses, hangar steak and wild mushroom ravioli. After being announced into the club via One Republic’s “Something I Need”, the couple was showered with heartfelt speeches from the bridal party before the first of two separate dance parties got underway.

Dessert of chocolate bread pudding and creme brulee were served while Caitlin and Colin sliced up their own triple berry shortcake (and yes, creamed each other in the process!). Guests were treated to engraved ‘Love’ key favors from The Giving Keys – the organization Caitlin herself founded in order to inspire hope, courage and paying it forward in others.

The night ended as Caitlin and Colin escaped under a confetti of white rose petals to their lovingly-decked out Checker, driving down Hollywood Boulevard demonstrating that real, authentic love is always the key to both a successful wedding and the start to a long-lasting marriage.
