Riley and Cooper’s wedding was a dream come true in every way, and as a vendor it was so much fun to witness all the thoughtfully curated details they poured into their day. From the very start, you could feel the love and intentionality behind each choice they made. So much of this simple and elegant wedding was coordinated and created by themselves, with Simpson House providing the perfect backdrop — it was absolutely stunning! It was such a testament that your wedding can still be incredible WITHOUT the large price tag that comes with rentals or large installations. The whole day was full of personality, joy and just plain fun!
A Family-Infused Simple and Elegant Wedding
One of my favorite parts of their day was how they had their ceremony and reception set up. Riley and Cooper had a beautiful family-style dinner with long tables where everyone could enjoy sharing pizza together. This allowed for an intimate evening, even considering the vast guest list. The hand-picked crockery on the tables, alone with a show-stopping champagne tower gave the evening a cool, elegant and sophisticated vibe full of personal touches throughout every moment.
Stunning Personalized Details Brought This Wedding Day to Life
There were so many unforgettable moments from this simple and elegant wedding day but something that stood out to me included the personalized gifts for the bridesmaids and parents (cue the tears). They also had the most stunning guest list display I’ve ever seen. Think antique mirrors, delicate wax seals, and a truly one-of-a-kind design that added such charm and character to the space. I seriously couldn’t get enough!
A Joy-Filled First Dance That I Will Never Forget
The fun didn’t stop there. Riley and Cooper had an outfit change for the dancing portion of the evening, bringing so much energy and fun to the dance floor — Pink Pony Club was a riot. Their first dance was extra memorable because they invited everyone inside to watch, which created a circle of celebration before the lively reception and a night full of dancing.
