“I’ve always found that couples who look to me for design and planning services do so because they want something truly unique, whether it’s a traditional element taken to the next level or something completely out of the box. However, in more recent years, we are really seeing an explosion of couples wanting to truly express themselves in their wedding designs more so than in the past. So what about that couple who just wants a crazy, fun party with their friends and family? They may take traditional elements and put a spin on them, such as a white outfit that’s topped with lots of colorful details, a cake made from cotton candy or a veil that just so happens to be attached to a funky head wrap. This shoot was all about embracing that crazy, fun side of things for couples who don’t care if they follow a traditional path, as long as it’s a celebration of their love!”

– Rena Sweeney, Alchemy Events
