Emily made her grand entrance on our white fabric aisle runner. We love how the couple’s florist lined the aisle with flower petals and candles!

Emily & Devin were married underneath a beautiful four-post white sheer fabric bridal canopy. The four legs and the interior of the canopy were softly illuminated.
