In the year before their own “I do’s,” Angela + Louis attended six different weddings and nicknamed this wedding guest marathon their “tour of love.”
When it came time to plan their special day, they used all of the inspiration they’d gathered from friends’ and loved ones’ celebrations as a jumping off point and then got to personalizing. “We kept coming back to the questions: What do we care about? And then, What’s our version of that?” say Angela + Louis. “With this in mind, we skipped a lot of traditions entirely and opted to really go all out on the details that felt like ‘us.’”
The result was their very own lush + eclectic DTLA greenhouse wedding at Valentine by Marvimon, which, with the help of So Smitten Events, was packed with color and charm. Bold statement florals abounded, non-essential traditions were ditched, and Angela’s perfectly pastel purple wedding gown absolutely stole the show.
Let’s take a peek at the joyful pics that Mandee Johnson Photography snapped along the way!
Groom Style Goals
Angela wasn’t the only one rocking purple! Groom Louis had a dream of wearing a purple suit to his wedding, and dreams came true with this plum, gray, and teal plaid Paul Smith suit.
Louis finished off the look with details from Roberto Cavalli and shoes from Scarosso.
