Small details make a huge impact!

When you think of weddings, what are the first things you think of? Dresses, venues, and FLOWERS, right? Have you ever thought of ditching the flower part and opting for other intimate details instead?? Samantha Darr with SoireeBliss! Events did just that at one of her recent weddings.



The bride chose to go with a more modern approach and opted to not have any flowers – not even a bridal bouquet! Instead, SoireeBliss! used candles, feathers, crystals, and rich details to create a truly intimate setting for the perfect ceremony. Candles lined the ceremony site, and while the couple exchanged their vows, the ushers lit the guest’s candles to symbolize their love and support for the couple. As captured in these photos by Morgan Lynn Photography, you can see what amazing shots are created by such an intimate setting.



Another tip to make your ceremony more intimate: SoireeBliss! used a circular ceremony set-up. The bride and groom’s closest friends and family circled around them as they said their vows. This way, your big day can be viewed from all angles!



These images are proof that even the smallest details can make a dramatic impact on your big day.
