Upon meeting Natalie + Jacob, we learned quickly how important their family + friends were to them. Guest experience was at the top of their list to ensure guests felt warmly welcomed and very much hosted throughout their wedding day. When we start working on design with our clients, we send along a style questionnaire that helps us understand an array of design loves + dislikes before we put together a deck to visually interpret what the client envisions. Natalie + Jacob's design priorities were the color palette, cohesion, floral design, lighting, and small details. SHE certainly checked all of those boxes + more!
We introduced a bold + beautifully curated floral pattern with a Rachel Marvin Creative invitation suite. It was the perfect palette! This suite showcased the brides affinity for flowers and allowed the branding + colors to tie together perfectly in other design elements.
Their super cute doodle, Axel, appeared for a photo-op. He was the inspiration for their signature drink which was an espresso martini named 'The Axel'.
We designed the ceremony in the round to add a little drama but also highlight the stunning chuppah. As the focal point in the room, Fox + Fleur nailed the color palette with the floral on the chuppah. The tones were very intentional with a mix of fuschia, purples, blues, and green as we entered the fall season. The flowers felt like they jumped right of the branded floral design that also bordered the ceremony program.
Guests were greeted with a champagne tower to learn their seating assignments and later entered the elegant Grand Ballroom for a delightful evening of dinner + dancing. Upon entering, the custom dancefloor grabbed everyone's attention as it anchored the room. The mix of high and low floral designs were arranged with color blocking to give a modern feel. We just loved popping this palette against the muted mauve-y toned linens + chairs.
The Parkers & Co. sure know how to party! They danced the night away in a room filled with love. Cheers Natalie + Jacob! We wish you a lifetime of love + happiness!
