Micro-weddings may be “micro” in regards to the exclusive invite list, but this elegant garden wedding is proof that you don’t have to down-size your vision. In fact, a smaller guest list means that you can invest more in the experience and decor, which is exactly what this couple did for their big day. They leaned on COJ Events to bring it all together and find just the right venue and Melissa Atle was there to capture every last detail and special moment.

Kate and Carl were friends for over a decade before they finally realized they were meant to be together. After a year of dating, they moved in together—only weeks before learning they’d be in lockdown for the pandemic! Despite the situation, the pair cherished their time together and made beautiful memories at Kate’s childhood home. When things started to open up again, Kate took Carl for a weekend in the Berkshires with her best friends and their husbands. He proposed to her there, turning their trip into a magical celebration of their love story! Kate said yes during a weekend getaway, so a destination wedding was a natural choice!

They envisioned an intimate weekend with close friends and family, so they limited their guest list to 50 people and fully booked, The Madrona, a California boutique hotel for the weekend. From Thursday’s welcome dinner to Sunday’s farewell brunch, no detail was overlooked. After several days of activities (including a private winery tour and pool party), Kate and Carl wed in a romantic garden-inspired ceremony bedecked with dried grasses and muted florals by the talented team at Marigold.

We love a painted invitation suite, especially when you’re having a destination wedding. It’s a great way to capture the essence of a location and truly customize the experience for your guests. Plus, if you talk to your artist, they may gift you the original copy of the venue painting to have as a keepsake!

the fashion

Let’s be real, the bride’s regal Milla Nova dress stole the show–simply breathtaking. But, the groom’s black and white patent leather Air Jordans definitely gave her a run for her money (pun intended).

Guests enjoyed a custom tasting menu with wine pairings while doodling on paper covering the table as a nod to a tradition from Kate’s childhood. After dinner, espresso martinis had everyone on the dance floor, partying the night away until two in the morning!

Skylar and Jeremy’s love story is deeply connected to the mountains around their wedding venue. Growing up in the Tahoe area, Skylar always dreamed of a winter wedding, and this dream came true at Rainbow Lodge, where they hosted an intimate gathering for 65 of their closest friends and family. Jeremy proposed to Skylar after a hike to Marlette Lake, an Alpine lake near their venue, against a backdrop of snowy peaks. They then celebrated their engagement with a surprise party at Skylar’s childhood home in Lake Tahoe.

This styled shoot at Biddle Ranch was a celebration of romantic anticipation, encapsulating the essence of a spring-inspired soirée set the night before the big day. Inspired by the color of the year, Peach Fuzz, the shoot aimed to craft an elegant rehearsal dinner brimming with ethereal charm. The ambiance was meticulously curated with farm-to-table cuisine, live music, and interactive elements like custom-made signage featuring a crossword puzzle adorned with hand-painted florals.

the design: extravagant minimalism

elegant minimalist wedding inspiration

In this wedding editorial, we aimed to juxtapose modern elegance with historical charm in a chic representation of ‘old meets new’. We blended contemporary design with old British architecture to give a nod to the past while embracing modernity. For us, modernity signifies a break from traditional norms and an embrace of values that prioritize inclusivity and promote a circular economy. We worked with Junior from Zebedee Talent who is non-binary, neurodiverse, and a wheelchair user alongside a team of eco-conscious suppliers. Across all our design elements we channeled a minimalist, environmentally-friendly approach, from our wedding cake to Junior’s look and accessories. The final result was a cohesive, fresh, and sustainable wedding aesthetic.

For the tablescape, we styled a clean, sleek setting to contrast with the historical architecture. Grand Tudor-style chandeliers hung above raised, foam-free orchid arrangements, surrounded by a row of white Anthurium lilies provided by Lou Lou Event Design and Nuun Cakes. We styled the cake and menus with flowing chiffon and satin bows.

We used sustainable and adaptive fashion to ensure ease of wear for each wardrobe choice. We opted for a mid-length, minimalist gown with clean lines to showcase fashion that is both practical and stylish. For Junior’s makeup, we went for a ‘barely there’ effect on the eyes with a gold eyeshadow and soft, light eyelashes. This was finished with a gloss over their lips.

Set against the historic backdrop of Club Atwater Montreal, established in 1926, this styled shoot epitomized timeless elegance with a touch of English sophistication. Each space, from the opulent grand ballroom with its high ceilings and minimalist decor to the bright, airy room where the ceremony unfolded, complemented the romantic and luxurious elements brought to life in this setup.

Creative advice: How to mix textures

For brides looking to replicate this look, mixing textures that feel luxurious and dimensional, from the opulence of silverware to the softness of drapery, the ethereal quality of sheer fabrics, the timelessness of ceramics, the organic allure of deconstructed flowers, the plushness of velvet, the sophistication of linen paper, the transparency of glass elements, and the inviting warmth exuded by flickering candles is absolutely the best way to approach this. The interplay of tactile experiences creates a multi-dimensional ambiance that is rich in character and visual interest.

Incorporating sentimental heirlooms

When it comes to silverware, consider adding a personal touch by borrowing pieces from those dear to you. Infusing your table setting with heirloom pieces not only adds sentimental value but also interweaves stories and memories into the fabric of your celebration.

This fun reinterpretation transformed a traditional must-have spot into a vibrant, eye-catching scene.

When you’re considering renting a car for your big exit, remember, it can also double as decor. So, in girl math, that’s like getting a free car rental because it can come out of the decor budget 😂. We love that Belovely even made a special floral installation for just that purpose.

After the forest, the couple and their photographer drove up the coast to Garrapata State Park, where they finished off the most amazing day adventuring on the cliffs along the coast.
