Rachel and Cody stripped down traditional wedding conventions to create a fun, minimalist summer ceremony at The York Manor. Fashionable botanic décor celebrated the bright white space with splashes of green and pastel from the potted cacti and succulents, which guests were invited to take home. The bride and groom created a low key vibe with an intimate guest list, taco buffet and plenty of margaritas to emulate a fun summer party and a completely stress free zone. The couple was initially camera shy, but we love how Even Keel Imagery was able to put them at ease in a series of creative and unique portraits.

Rachel and Cody
The Wedding:
The York Manor, Los Angeles, California

Instead of flowers, we chose to decorate with handpotted succulents and cacti. As the wedding came to a close, we invited all of our guests to pick a plant (or two) to take home with them. We love that we were able to eliminate waste, as well as give guests something that they can have for many, many years.
We wanted to be practical, and eliminate traditions that didn’t suit us, or that we thought might impede on the low-key/stress-free vibe that we had envisioned. This showed in our decision to not have a bridal party, or assigned seating.

We were really so fortunate to have stumbled across such a beautiful space! Our decor decisions were about honoring the space, as well as the practicality of minimalism. We kept as much white as we could, which I think really high...
