A Colorful Upstate Wedding with Magical Delights

Colorful Moroccan Modern Wedding

Here’s a wedding totally saturated with color, tropical details and charm! And, if you ever thought a monstera leaf had no place in a barn, we’re here to prove you wrong, folks. Julie + Tom’s wedding was a celebration of their story, with details of their lives together creatively sprinkled throughout…so quintessentially them.

Julie shares: The goal for our late-summer wedding in Hudson, NY was to create a super fun, intimate celebration for our 110 guests. We loved the idea of starting with a raw space because it allowed us to add our personalities to the breathtaking beauty of the Hudson Valley. Inspired by our global travels, my Indian/Thai heritage (think COLOR!), and Tom’s “magical” proposal (he proposed with a card trick), we designed a wedding that screamed Tom + Julie.

Pat Furey Photography captured all the sunny details!

If the invitations by Gubba Gumma signify anything, it’s that this wedding is going to be fun.
