Inside a Balcony-Turned-Ceremony Wedding at Hotel Carmichael
Featured In This Article:
Manifestation is real, but this might just take the cake. Long before Lillian was a bride, she and her photographer, Hiedi of Photos By Hiedi, were actually sitting side-by-side in a photography class. When Hiedi first launched her business 15 years ago, Lillian was right there, modeling as one of her very first senior reps.
Cut to over a decade later, after proposals, engagements, and a whole lot of life, Hiedi got to step behind the lens to capture Lillian marrying her person, Jarod. Knowing your photographer that deeply? Built-in wedding magic.
If you think ballroom weddings have to be strictly traditional, Lillian and Jarod are here to completely change your mind. Hosted at Hotel Carmichael, which seamlessly pulled off the venue, catering, bar, and day-of coordination, the couple brought a fresh perspective to the timeless space. From transforming the hotel’s balcony into an intimate ceremony setting to filling the ballroom with bold, contemporary color, every detail felt like a beautiful blend of classic and unexpected.
We are talkin’ a show-stopping design that balances the scale with playful, garden-inspired details. Violet Vintage Rentals added elegant ceremony seating and stunning plateware, while Ace Party Rental executed the custom installs and reception seating that gave the room its high-end structure. To tie the palette together, LGi Linens provided the gorgeous linens and flatware that made the tablescapes pop. It’s chic, it’s vibrant, and it’s the ultimate proof that luxury and high-energy color belong together. Dive into the gallery below to see exactly what we mean…
