Cozy Winter Wonderland Microwedding

bride and groom in the snow

Lindsey and Christian were set to be married March 21, 2020 after 2 years of planning their dream wedding. The flowers were ordered, the food count was in, and family & friends were getting ready to get on flights to come celebrate as they were to say “I do”. Then the whole world stopped. COVID put a sudden halt to the day we had been imagining for so long.

After two venue changes, and with the unknown of when large gatherings would be allowed again, they decided to proceed with a micro wedding in Lake Tahoe. They had 25 of their closest family members there as they exchanged their vows. It was an intimate, cozy winter wonderland, and although not what they had originally pictured for themselves, it ended up being more than they could have ever imagined.

COVID has been exceptionally difficult for California wedding vendors, but we have so many incredible vendors in San Diego that have been there for their couples trying to have a wedding during these difficult times.  A perfect example is Savanna the make-up and hairstylist, Joe Cardillo and Iron & Fern all stuck with the bride throughout her 2 prior venue cancellations due to COVID restrictions that happened in the beginning. These vendors also decided to travel to the third venue for a micro wedding.  The bride is also the niece of Prema from pbStyle Photography who was there for the couple and found it to be one of the most emotional weddings to edit in her career.

The secret ingredient is always love!

Today’s couples are about personalization and experiences. Crystal and Joey love cooking, so we created the kitchen herb garden being a sense of storytelling to this styled shoot. With various shades of green to reflect the colors found in home garden herbs, a pop of femininity with blush, mauves and a statement blue (which happens to be the Pantone of 2020) which balances it with a masculine tone. A modern, delicate and romantic aesthetic featuring multiple varieties of herbs and plant life with a soft balance of color and tactile textures help provide a feeling of life and love.

Music was the inspriation for this styled shoot.  Lot of black and white were used and to offset that with a soft pretty  pink. Keeping it more upscale than rock and roll by using brass ornaments and a lot of candles. Many aspects of music such as vinyl records, sheet music, concert tickets, etc. were incorporated. It is fun and whimsical, while still being elegant and classic.

Inspired by the fact that Bliss can be found from coast to coast. We find a lot of couples enjoy pulling the “beach” theme into their decor when saying “I Do” by the ocean. The coastal style can be displayed a bit different from the east coast to the west coast and here a bit of both are blended into a fresh, modern look. Using varying colors of the ocean from coast to coast, then bring in a cool pop of orange surrounding it with the dimension of whites & ivories in the florals. A key focal point was creating this ombre feel to the place setting to find the right balance of blues. Gold touches added a modern elegance to the table. There’s a comfy place for the guests to relax and the lounge setup of blue hues would give that atmosphere of ocean water. The bonus feature was the blue TapTruck which completed the setup, evoking a sense of the fun & casual party of a beach style wedding but dressed up with a bar front.
