Add carved wooden furniture and colorful rugs and a stunning venue is ready!
The bride was wearing a Tatyana Merenyuk gown, complete a gorgeous Susie Saltzman pear ring design and flowing cape that picked up the wind perfectly for the shots. Chayma changed into a marvelous, intricate Claire Pettibone gown of lace, with illusion back and fringed cap sleeves. Her looked was finished by a pair of peep toe sheer booties with lace appliques. The groom was wearing a white jacket and black pants plus a bow tie – a fresh take on a traditional white tux look.
The florals for the shoot were created by Twyla with Remi and Gold, who made the most lush, vibrant kaleidoscope of florals picking them in local gardens and flower markets. Boarding School Collective created many fantastic touches – from the Moroccan-tile inspired watercolor invite suite to the lucite menu to the linen chair drapings painted with “Habibi” (husband/ wife) that added such a personal touch and story to the elopement.
The first bridal look was done with a cold shoulder weddding gown and an airy cape, the groom was wearing a fresh take on a white tux.
The reception was created in the riad, with simple wooden furniture and an airy table runner.
