Big Fake Wedding

This Bride and groom take “tradition” to heart. Family and sentiment are extremely important to them and they wanted to infuse their day with the love and passed-down practices of their families. Vendors made use of deep, rich color, intricate pattern, and mixed metals to convey a worldly but refined design that allows the meaning of the day to shine.
