a meticulous design
Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, the wedding of Natalie, who is of Armenian descent with a global upbringing, and Ashraf, hailing from Morocco, was a celebration of precision and passion. Co-founders of their interior design firm, the couple infused their expertise into every detail of their special day. For Natalie, whose affinity for geometry and meticulous lines guided the planning, every aspect of the décor was a testament to her exacting standards. Soft, ambient lighting, carefully curated to create an intimate evening, underscored their architectural sensibilities.
rain on their wedding day
Despite forecasts of rain, days before the ceremony, Natalie remained resolute in her vision, opting to embrace the unpredictability of the weather. As the planner, Modd Weddings, aptly remarked, navigating a wedding with someone so decisive yet adventurous can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. However, their gamble paid off—raindrops gracefully punctuated the day, enhancing rather than detracting from the beauty of the occasion.
well-dressed
This has to be one of the best-dressed weddings we've ever seen. Yes, the bride was stunning in her tea-length ruched tulle dress with matching sleeves, and the groom looked great in his tux, but these guests... Literally everyone brought it when it came to dressing for this wedding and you know we love that!
family and tradition
From live music to traditional dancers, this couple made sure to honor their family traditions in their wedding ceremony. And, from the looks of it, this dancefloor was never empty!
a vintage getaway car
We always love a chance to remind couples to book a getaway car for the day of your wedding. Whether you go for something flashy and modern or a cool vintage ride like this couple, the photos practically take themselves!
dancing (and dining) in the rain
Framed by lovely floral and vine installations by Art Mood Decor, guests sat down for a candlelit dinner outside followed by dancing where the rain continued to come and go. If you're planning an outdoor wedding, this is the perfect example of how to work with the weather and your venue rather than against it. These clear umbrellas look adorable on camera and will keep all of your guests dry without disrupting the ambiance.
