I grew up driving past this venue, never gaining too much hope haha but secretly envisioned my own wedding there. When giovann and I got engaged, this was the only venue we visited and within a month of being engaged, booked it as our own.

He had photographers waiting to capture every moment of the proposal + “just engaged” photos after, and gave Mackenzie a custom oval diamond ring, just what she had been dreaming of.[/field] [/field] [field title=”Proposal Story”]Ryan proposed to Mackenzie after a romantic picnic on the beach!
Unique seating arrangements and unexpected entertainment kept everyone engaged, ensuring that the day was not just a ceremony, but a joyful adventure. From quirky decor elements to lively floral arrangements, every detail exuded charm and creativity, inviting guests into a world of joy and celebration.
[section title=”The Planning”] [field title=”Wedding Colors”]Our wedding colors were blush and navy.[/field] field] [field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Once Hayden and I got engaged, I dove headfirst into the search for the perfect pink wedding venue.
Getting engaged had been discussed Sander was working with a jeweler in a nearby city, but the ring wasn’t ready yet. As they ran through recipes, Courtney was overcome with a deep sense of gratitude for Sander, who had fully committed to honoring her family’s tradition (growing up in Europe, he never celebrated the holiday).
We brought in lucite/acrylic in with the chairs, headtable “acrylic” place mats, and lucite napkin rings. With the color that came through in the floral and tables, the bride had her bridesmaids in white to create a very modern look with wedding party and ceremony moments.
We were then surprised by an engagement party with both of our families, who flew in and came together as a surprise to celebrate our love. Our floral arrangements included a mix of tall centerpieces, delicate bud vases, and a striking long arrangement for the 32-person headtable, offering visual interest and variety.
field] [field title=”Proposal Story”] From the couple… We got engaged August 20, 2022 in Wengen, Switzerland which is a small mountain village. From the bride… Another memorable item on the day was a necklace I wore, which my mom gave to me on the wedding day.
” — after the proposal, we then went to a rooftop bar, where Rob had arranged all of our friends and family to come together for a surprise engagement party!
We decided on a long gold mirrored headtable for the welcome party and family surrounded by round tables in the courtyard.

We got engaged at Cumberland falls in KY. With sweet floral detail to match the gown, Darian chose a gorgeous cathedral length veil and Jimmy Choo heels to walk down the aisle in. 6 other round tables flanked the headtable with sweet low centerpieces and more candles. It was private and intimate.
One over the headtable & one over the incredible dancing area. He had rented out the entire bar/restaurant so we could have an amazing engagement party there that same night. Post tags: Post categories: Modern , Real Weddings , The Blog Lighting was such an important element as well to warm up such a modern space.
Then, after the proposal, we drove to have dinner with both our families & celebrated the start of our engagement season!! I purchased my weddinggown at Ivory & White Bridal Boutique in Mountain Brook, Alabama. All our wedding flowers were mostly white, with subtle touches of light blue & greenery.
The timeless wedding weaved together unique elements to make their day certainly one of a kind. field] [field title=”Proposal Story”]Spencer and Emma got engaged the afternoon of June 17, 2023! For the reception space, bunches of tulips lined the two headtables bring a feeling of organic elegance.
I found vintage peacocks at an antique store for the headtable, and used them in my invites and wedding signage. I wore my grandma’s vintage clip on earrings that my mom wore on her wedding day. And I picked a floral Monique Lhuillier wedding dress to go with my love of all things colorful and romantic.”[/field]
We both knew we would get engaged sometime after I finished PA school. Once we moved in together after I completed grad school, I jokingly said I wanted to be engaged by the end of the year (December 2022). We moved in together in June 2022 and were engaged July 22, 2022. My timeline worked! Buddy did such an amazing job!
Allie was so oblivious that the proposal was about to happen that when she saw the set-up, she thought to herself “Awww how sweet, someone must have just gotten engaged here today”, but it turned out to be for her! Lots of happy tears were shed and they were so excited to start thinking about wedding planning.
Traditionally, you would think I had to know a proposal was coming, as we set off to look at a potential wedding venue. However, my mind was filled with so many thoughts, none of them related to an engagement. My wedding dress was the second dress I tried on.
Matt then gathered all of their friends for an epic surprise engagement party at Rocco’s in Culver City. She had never seen anything like it before. [/field] [field title=”Florals & Decor”] Matt and Francesca worked with Courtney from Palette Events Company to plot out their vision for the wedding day. I look so cool!”
So, the last weekend I had thought I would get engaged was a no-go. The room was flipped during cocktail time, so when you re-entered the reception, a long headtable sat where the original aisle was during the ceremony. We filled in a lush and long row of baby’s breath down the length of the table.
A band stage floating on heavenly hydrangea clouds, a curtain of tulips draped behind the headtable and a collection of carefully placed cherub statues had her well versed, NYC wedding guests gasping once they settled into their seats.
[/field] [field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]The overall design vision was an English garden party mixed with the whimsy of Bridgerton mixed with subtle nods to the pop culture significance of a British Monarchy Royal Wedding. The cobblestone architecture of the venue itself was the ultimate scene to set.
