A luxurious yet approachable colorful spring wedding in Philadelphia

blue and white spring wedding

Maddy and Michael said "I do" on a beautiful early summer day at a sleek and contemporary wedding venue in Philadelphia: The Lucy by Cescaphe. To balance the venue's modern vibes, they infused a touch of whimsy by transforming and softening the space into a lush indoor garden. The goal was to create an atmosphere that felt simultaneously modern, timeless, opulent, and inviting, all with the goal of hosting a celebration that was luxurious, yet approachable. Peaches and blues complemented the muted, yet colorful spring palette created with the help of Musa Weddings and Kraft & Co.
