Held at the Revery, a dreamlike rooftop space enclosed with glass, this styled shoot effortlessly combines elements of ultra-feminine and deeply dramatic. A rarely used color palette of black, lilac, and blush, along with the use of clean, modern lines, set the tone for a wistful and romantic day. The bold welcome sign, a luxe seating area, and moody florals by Prema Designs contrasted perfectly with the airy scene. Elevating the space’s dimension is the gorgeous textured cake by Kuro Neko Cake. The unique details, including the bride’s show-stopping gown from White Bridal Boutique and the individual escort cakes, add to the wow factor. Fun fact: This real-life couple is in the process of planning their own wedding day!
