Styling & Decor
For their design, we coordinated and decorated using a curated blend from our Gold and Terracotta collections. The soft earth tones brought a grounded, cozy feel, while the gold touches added just the right amount of glam. Every detail from the tablescapes to the ceremony accents felt intentional, warm, and full of personality.
A Few Wedding-Day Challenges… and Some Quick Thinking
Like many great love stories, this day came with a plot twist or two.
The limo service arrived late, which meant our original timeline was suddenly at risk. Instead of letting the delay ripple into the rest of the day, we quickly reworked the schedule with Suzuran Photography, ensuring the bridal party could still capture all the important pre-ceremony moments without missing a beat. With teamwork and flexibility, they got every shot they needed just in a slightly different order!
Another curveball?
A traditional rehearsal wasn’t possible due to venue availability. But preparation is part of what we do best. We strategized in advance and coordinated a smooth, efficient day-of rehearsal at Gordon Green. The entire party caught on quickly, and by the time guests arrived, everyone was fully confident and ready for showtime.
A Beautiful Celebration
Once the challenges were behind us, the day unfolded like magic. Christie walked down the aisle beaming. Grant couldn’t take his eyes off her, and their guests filled the space with heartfelt emotion and celebration. The warm, modern aesthetic of Gordon Green paired with their décor selections created a stunning environment that felt both classy and cozy.
Suzuran Photography captured every meaningful moment, from their quiet portraits to the laughter on the dance floor, ensuring the couple will forever have memories of their joy-filled celebration.
A Love-Filled Start to Their Next Chapter
Christie and Grant’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that even when things don’t go exactly to plan, the right team, a little creativity, and a lot of heart can turn everything into a perfect day.
We were honored to coordinate and design this celebration and are so grateful to have been part of their story.
