Modern Classic Romance
A West Coast-styled shoot with old-world flair! A romantic design showcasing ‘the new classic’ wedding trends being embraced and intertwined through all the details. From the handwritten love letters and wax seals to the use of a vintage vehicle to the finer details of the reception using two-toned silver & pearlized flatware and crystal stemware. A true vision for the modern couple!
We love the European architecture and charming settings. Vancouver’s beauty matches the old-world style and showcases a fresh approach to classic looks. Silver Ridge Estate is a new venue designed with the picturesque in mind. It is on a sprawling property with a long driveway and large porte cochère, which makes it perfect for those newlywed shots.
The attention to detail is exceptional, from handmade paper suites, letterpress printing, handwritten love letters, and wax seals to vintage vehicles. The reception features two-toned silver and pearlized flatware, crystal stemware, and a harp and violin duo.
This shoot’s modern yet fresh elements contrast fashion styles: the classic A-line ceremony dress versus the reception dress with the bold floral print, the bride’s sweet bodysuit paired with the flowing see-through dressing gown.
The stunning floral installation around the fireplace created a luxurious setting for the ceremony. The reception table and wedding cake, placed within the garden, overflow with blooms. One of the more unique aspects of this shoot was using the garden’s stone table as the cake table. The charming flower display created a beautiful focal point for the eye and brought together every detail of the theme: a modern classic romance wedding.
