the venue
On June 8th, 2024, the stunning Ballroom on I Street was transformed into a vision of classic romance as Macy and Noah exchanged their vows in a beautiful, timeless outdoor wedding celebration. The couple's love story began in high school, but it wasn't until a few years later that they realized their friendship had blossomed into something more. On their special day, they surrounded themselves with loved ones, elegant decor, and thoughtful details that reflected their enduring love.
getting ready
Macy and her bridesmaids lounged in their pajamas as they got ready and frolicked around the venue grounds. Each wore a pastel blue dress in a variety of cuts and textures. The groomsmen wore tasteful French-blue suits while Noah stood out in a handsome shade of tan.
whimsical backyard ceremony
Framed by a stunning arch made of white roses, and blue and white hydrangeas, Noah waited for his bride to grace the aisle. Their family and friends looked on as the two exchanged heartfelt vows, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. As they made their way back down the aisle as husband and wife, they were saluted with a lovely rose petal toss.
a blue and white oasis
The ballroom was adorned with a soothing palette of blue and white hues, perfectly complemented by lush hydrangeas that added a touch of sophistication to the already-stunning atmosphere designed by Ollie Marie's Floral Design. The classic color scheme and exquisite florals set the tone for an unforgettable evening with Chinese chinoiserie pottery details.
a dance to remember
Macy, a skilled dancer, and Noah took to the floor for a breathtaking first dance, showcasing a beautifully choreographed routine that left onlookers mesmerized. The intimate, private last dance they shared later in the evening was a poignant reminder of their love and commitment to each other.
a family affair
The reception featured a delectable menu crafted by the bride's father's renowned restaurant, Pizzeria Ruby, treating guests to a culinary experience they won't soon forget. As the night wore on, a surprise late-night snack from the local pizzeria kept the energy high and the celebration going.
a sparkling farewell
As the night drew to a close, the newlyweds made their exit in style, surrounded by a sea of sparkling lights and the groom's sleek jeep waiting to whisk them away to their next adventure. The following day, Macy and Noah embarked on a romantic honeymoon to the picturesque South of France, where they basked in the beauty and charm of the region, their love shining brighter with each passing day.
