Elise & Alec’s wedding day was all about soft colors, details, and the kind of moments that stay with you long after the celebration ends. Their vision leaned into a romantic, garden-inspired feel, brought to life with florals, pretty pastels, and beautifully styled tablescapes.

One of Alec’s favorite memories was their first look, a quiet moment that instantly settled the nerves and set the tone for the rest of the day. Elise loved reading the vows they wrote themselves, sharing a piece of their story with the people they love most. It was tender, personal, and exactly what they hoped it would be.

Throughout planning, they learned not to be afraid to ask questions and rely on their vendors—something that made the entire process feel lighter and more enjoyable. With planner Emily Ventura guiding the details, the day came together effortlessly.

From the flowers to the tables, every detail felt intentional and relaxed. It was a wedding that felt very true to who Elise and Alec are.
