This past wedding holds a special place in my heart since not only was I the head planner for the minimal & modern classic wedding held in Downtown Los Angeles, but I was also a guest. After years of flying solo as an independent woman, one of my closest friends finally got hitched. She met her husband and the rest is history. I guess there really is a match for everyone. And I guess my friends really do like abusing their relationships with me because they all seem to message me last minute. The planning spanned around 3 months from start to finish since the wedding had to accommodate the groom’s family returning to Brazil. Boy, am I glad this one came out quite nicely (and is finally over).

THE COUPLE:

Yoomee + Alex

THE WEDDING:

Downtown Los Angeles, CA

The theme focused on natural greenery with minimal florals to emanate a simple and clean look with the main colors being black and white. It reminded me a lot of my friend’s no-frills personality.

They also wanted to infuse a part of their culture by incorporating Paebaek within their celebration. Paebaek is a traditional Korean wedding ceremony featuring a decorative background panel, colorful silk table, and bamboo mat set-up along with the ceremonial attire. I hand-painted the backdrop and designed this Paebaek setup from scratch.
