To find their seats, each guest had a shot glass with their name on it that was filled with sangria. The natural beauty of the space didn’t require much added decor, so to bring the room to life, they put small floral arrangements in used wine bottles on tables atop a round slice of wood, which featured simple greens and flowers with white petals. Inside the expansive room at The Lace Factory, a blend of rustic and industrial elements created a romantic aesthetic with the help of string lights, which were strung around the exposed beams on the ceiling.
“We wrote our own vows and exchanged roses as a symbol that whenever words can’t be found or a common ground cannot be met, the rose is to be placed somewhere in the house as a sign of our promise and vow to choose and love each other every single day through the good and bad.” “We wanted to keep it super intimate, so our cousin officiated and made it very much centered on us and our choosing each other every single day,” the brides say. Standing in front of a backdrop of beautifully draped chiffon panels, Jennifer and Anna committed to spending the rest of their lives together with 125 of their friends and family in attendance. So she surprised Jennifer with a rose-filled room lit by candlelight and sang Sara Bareilles’ “I Choose You” before she asked Jennifer to be her wife. And after a year and a half of dating, Anna wanted to make sure that never changed. “We didn’t go more than a few days apart from that day forth,” they say. They hopped in her car, and Anna turned Celine Dion on, which they sang at the top of their lungs the whole way there. Instead of asking Jennifer to pick up the tab, Anna persuaded her to join her for a quick trip to pick up her wallet. What she didn’t realize is that she had also forgotten her wallet at home. When Anna showed up 15 minutes late to her first date with Jennifer, she planned to reconcile her tardiness by picking up the first round of drinks. Daphne and Dean captured the most stunning images of their wedding day, which the brides will remember fondly for years to come.
