Maggie and Bolun chose the enchanting Dunn Gardens for their special day, a location they described as a hidden gem within the city. They dreamed of an intimate garden wedding that felt both personal and secluded. To bring their vision to life, the planner from Frigga Events crafted a vintage garden wedding theme, utilizing a palette of earth tones. These colors—clay, sand, taupe, caramel—were chosen to enhance the garden’s natural beauty while creating a warm and soft atmosphere. The couple even gave the color palette a nickname – cappuccino.

He transformed the trunk of his car into a romantic setting adorned with flowers, string lights, and balloons. The special moment unfolded in a quiet garage, where Bolun asked Maggie to retrieve something from the car. As she opened the trunk, balloons gently floated out, revealing the most important question: “Will you marry me?” This private, heartfelt proposal not only captured the essence of their love but also mirrored the intimate, personal celebration they envisioned for their wedding.[/field]

Maggie chose an exquisite Monique Lhuillier strapless ball gown for her wedding day, featuring a romantic heart-shaped neckline. The gown was crafted from lightweight layers of tulle, which added an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality to its appearance. This design choice provided an uptown vibe that struck the perfect balance between elegance and approachability.

The bridesmaids complemented the wedding’s aesthetic beautifully, each wearing a dress from Azazie in a cohesive dusty pink shade, yet each style was distinct. This approach allowed each bridesmaid to choose a dress that suited her personal style and comfort, while maintaining a unified look for the wedding party. One notable style featured was a long dress with a high waistline, which elegantly lengthened the silhouette.

The transition from the ceremony to the reception was seamlessly enhanced by the couple’s choice of a refreshing signature cocktail aptly named “Key to My Heart.” This delightful beverage set the tone for a fun and lively party atmosphere. For the main course, guests were treated to a culinary delight with options of braised boneless short ribs and pan-roasted wild salmon, expertly prepared by Ravishing Radish Catering.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The floral arrangements and decor for Maggie and Bolun’s wedding were meticulously designed to capture the essence of their vintage garden theme. The florists from Callarose and Co chose a stunning palette of lilac, brown, and cream for the roses, which adorned the centerpieces and the majestic wooden arch at the ceremony. To enhance the rustic garden vibe, branches were also incorporated into the arrangements, blending natural elements with the floral designs. The wedding planner from Frigga Events complemented these floral choices with carefully selected linens, vintage furniture, and chinaware that harmonized with the overall aesthetic. A standout feature was the creation of a soft lounge area, which featured vintage sofas and furniture, providing a cozy and inviting space for guests to relax and enjoy the surroundings. This thoughtful combination of florals and decor not only reflected the themed colors but also added layers of texture and charm to the wedding’s atmosphere.

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

The wedding cake, beautifully crafted by Honey Crumb Cake Studio, was a true highlight of the celebration. This elegant two-tiered, all-white cake featured a couple of unique and artistic touches. Notably, the top tier was extra tall, making a bold visual statement. The cake was adorned with fondant flowers so meticulously crafted they looked almost real, adding a layer of fun and creativity. Additionally, the cake was finished with a lightly textured buttercream, which gave it a delicate appearance.

These plates, each bearing distinct patterns dating from the 1920s through the 1960s, added a charming and eclectic element to the table settings. This choice celebrated a love for artistry and timeless elegance, beautifully reflecting the wedding’s vintage theme. [/field]
