Another spring wedding to feature! Today, we are excited to share more details and snaps from C & M’s gorgeous modern-and-industrial spring wedding!

Both C & M shared modern and industrial aesthetics, so we decided to move forward with clean and modern themes. One of the first steps of our planning was to secure the perfect venue for C & M. We searched high-and-low across the Bay Area for a “warehouse-esque” venue. Our criteria included: 1) a venue that was spacious enough to hold their larger guest count, and 2) the freedom to design an open-modern warehouse however we wished.

…And freedom to design, we did! We planned a beautiful wedding, featuring special elements that were meaningful to the two of them (such as: basketball, beige and black colors, and boba!). We noticed that the Bride loved the look of dried and preserved florals. Perfect! As budget was an important priority to C & M, we decided to go with a more sustainable and budget-friendly route in our wedding florals by coordinating the rentals and purchases of centerpieces that carried both modern black elements and preserved flowers. We also found the most gorgeous dried arrangements for the bridal party bouquets and corsages. The Bride totally rocked her dried bouquet!

As we worked on C & M’s reception design, we found that their sweetheart table would have a white blank wall for a backdrop. Newlyweds sharing their first dinner at their sweetheart table is a special post-Ceremony moment, so it felt rather anti-climactic to us if there were nothing to fill the space behind them! We decided to fill this space with special backdrop lighting! C & M loooved the soft lighting (and they looked great sitting in front of it too!). The special lighting really elevated the ambience in the whole room. Rather than break the budget and bring in tons of one-time-use decorations and florals, again — we went a more sustainable route and this turned out to be one of our BEST design decisions!

Now, a wedding in the first three months of the year meant that we had to be prepared for all sorts of weather. We were ready for various weather conditions (a clear tent was put up for the outdoor ceremony). But thankfully, we enjoyed one of the warmest spring days that month! With their wedding in the heart of Downtown San Jose, we got to enjoy picturesque snaps of San Pedro Square!

It was such a sweet day, celebrating with C & M and their loved ones. We wish C & M many more years of love and happiness. Congratulations again and Happy Anniversary!
