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. Keep scrolling to see how it all came together to ultimately make the elegant event captured on camera by Haley Richter Photography and New Pace Wedding Films.
The classic and simple white and light gray invitation suite was completed by a stunning watercolor floral envelope and liner. The single floral element set the stage for what would be seen throughout the wedding day.
Maddy's bridesmaids donned light blue maxi dresses with custom tops. Hair and makeup were kept natural, and each bridesmaid carried a smaller version of Maddy's muted rainbow bouquet.
Maddy's father donned a cerulean suit that came with a custom surprise - the liner was made up of Van Gogh's, "Starry Night," and included a special sewn-in note: "I loved her first."
It was impossible not to fall in love with the venue and cityscape around it - it provided Haley Richter Photography the perfect backdrop to photograph the couple's first-look portraits against while guests prepared for the ceremony.
