As with any event that reflects the love and dedication of loved ones, Fernanda and Gabriel's wedding was infused with personal touches. Their loved ones played a special role in crafting the wedding's florals and signage that included a chic trendy DIY flower box welcome sign, floral towers for the ceremony and sweetheart table, and classic minimalist seating chart. From the sweet white rose and baby's breath centerpieces that adorned the tables to the complementary bridesmaid bouquets, the couple chose florals that matched their vision of simple elegance. We especially loved that they tied their venue's purpose into their DIY wine cork place cards and "Sign a Cork" alternative wedding guest book!

FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER:
Fernanda and Gabriel’s wedding was a beautiful testament to the kind of love that feels effortless yet deeply profound. Soft-spoken and incredibly kind, they share a love story that proves when you know, you just know. After two years together and a year-long engagement, they exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends who, despite many meeting for the first time, instantly felt like one.
Their love had already begun weaving their families together long before the wedding day. Fernanda first met Gabriel’s family during a vacation, and from the moment they got to know her, they fell in love with her. That same warmth and joy radiated throughout their wedding day, where every embrace, every tear of happiness, and every heartfelt toast reflected just how cherished they are—not just by each other, but by everyone around them. It was a day filled with grace, connection, and undeniable love, a perfect beginning to their forever.
