Tanya and Bernard?s Carondelet House wedding combined classic vintage with a timeless modern touch. Inspired by French noir films, the couple chose a venue that fit their style and personalities: a hidden 1920?s villa in downtown LA with urban flair. We love the dreamy natural light and architectural details like fireplaces and courtyards. Metallic bridesmaids dresses inspired a color scheme of platinum, blush, and silver for a classic feel without being too traditional. Floral designers Bloom of Time created a romantic and moody spring aesthetic with deep green foliage and dusty colors while photographers Joel and Justyna Bedford captured the couple in their romantic venue and outside in LA?s cool downtown.
