We can’t help but crush on this winter wedding in California. Filled with a chic color palette of cabernet, blush, ivory, caramel, and brown hues, Madix & Co designed the dreamiest of days. Our brides’ Big Day vision was brought to life with the help of Amanda Vidmar who used blooms in unexpected ways, like a ceremony aisle lined with fragrant gardenias filling the space with a sweet scent. You’ll love every magical moment perfectly captured in time by Lynette Boyle Photography, see the full day unfold in the full gallery.
From Emily and Emily… We owe a fateful night of karaoke for leading us to the altar 8 years later. As Juniors at Northwestern University, we both attended a fraternity bar night at Lincoln Karaoke in Chicago. Emily Ryles saw Emily Bacalao from across the bar and was immediately smitten. We started talking on the bus ride home and essentially have been dating ever since.
The most anticipated moment for both of us was our first look. One of the biggest challenges during planning was keeping our dresses secret from one another and were both blown away by each other’s final looks. However, the moment we both hold closest to our hearts is walking down the aisle and the ceremony. We walked into the ceremony space and were overcome by the joy we felt from having everyone we love in the same room. Our best friend married us and created an incredible ceremony that he completely memorized. We also owe a huge thank you to our florist, who transformed the space with a beautiful arch and spread gardenias throughout to create a subtle but enchanting aroma. Walking into dinner was also a special moment. Everything from the tablescapes to the energy in the room was unforgettable.
From Madix & Co… For Emily and Emily’s January 1st wedding at Martin Ray Winery, I designed a palette of cabernet, blush, ivory, caramel, and brown hues for a warm winter aesthetic. Keeping the formality of New Years’ weekend without a new years theme, we opted for upholstered chairs, velvet linens, gold and black accents, and ample twinkle light. Amanda Vidmar Design pulled everything together with abundant and romantic florals. Our brides looked absolutely stunning in their gowns, each highlighting their personality and style but perfectly cohesive. One of my favorite elements was the gardenias lining the aisle providing a beautiful aroma as guests arrived.
