Real Wedding: Bodee + Patrick’s Elegant Wedding

I am so excited to share this gorgeous wedding from the one and only Elizabeth Messina. Her photos are beautiful and timeless. If you don’t read her blog, Kiss the Groom, you really should. She shares the most beautiful photos and sweet poems. Ok, back to today’s wedding! The wedding took place at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles. From Elizabeth, I love this wedding. Bodee + Patrick are such a sweet couple and their style was a perfect mix of modern and classic. Bodee wore the most stunning pair of hot pink dior pumps.

I could not agree more about her shoes! And love Patrick’s socks.

Fabulous pink shoes are Christian Dior and Bodee’s dress is by Ulla Maija. How glamourous are they?!

From Bodee, I loved the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion….the gorgeous chandeliers….green carpeting, gold accents.. the fountains outside. It was all so glamorous! My theme was yellow/green springtime. I wanted a happy, bright wedding with a mix of glamour & elegance.

My favorite memory was the reveal. Elizabeth brought my husband over to see me. His eyes were closed. I was so nervous. He opened his eyes and there I was. We embraced, kissed, cried…and spoke such intimate words to each other. Elizabeth captured those private moments…and I am eternally grateful to her.
