This Drapey, Candlelit Wedding in Miami Was Gorgeously Glowy

Trend Alert!

You heard it here first: All of us at GWS are predicting that 2025 weddings will be full of dreamy drapery + glowy candlelight. 🤍🕯️

That’s why we’re so in love with this ethereal-yet-timeless wedding photo shoot from a team of talented vendors in Miami, Florida. 

PS Photography joined forces with planner + event designer Stephanie Marion of With Love, Inc to create some seriously sophisticated + otherworldly romance inside charcuterie company Apricot & Olive’s warehouse-style studio space. 

“This shoot perfectly encapsulates the artistic and carefree nature of the effortless 2025 wedding,” says Patty of PS Photography. Billowy fabric, countless candles, and a monochromatic color world that is the definition of elegance. What’s not to love?

Patty calls it “a candlelit dream.” And we literally couldn’t agree more. “This shoot,” she says, “will serve as a mood board for the 2025 bride seeking inspiration.”

Brandspired—the paper goods + branding arm of With Love, Inc—created these minimalist script wedding invites. Total antique love letter vibes.

Behold: the breathtaking all-white floral arrangements that Ellie’s Garden put together for this shoot. So simple, color-wise, but such a diverse variety of blooms!

We can thank Lennox & Grace for the heavenly, flickering glow of this editorial’s many, many candles.

Model Julianne stunned in this low back ruffle skirt Nicole + Felicia ceremony gown from Chic Parisien.

Also, how perfect are this piecey bun wedding updo and minimalist glam bridal makeup by Riane Morris?

A wrap around halter neckline like this is one of our all time fave versions of a high neck wedding dress.

A Dreamy Ceremony

We love when both the bride and the groom are wearing white! Check out this ethereal garden wedding in Austin or this elegant outdoor wedding in New Hampshire for more examples of grooms rocking a white wedding day look.

So. Many. Chandeliers! 😍

Model John’s sophisticated white jacket ceremony tuxedo came from Tux Shop Palm Beach.

A Radiant Reception

Different Look Rentals was responsible for filling this romantic all-white reception tablescape with its dreamy decor.

Absolute Party Rental perfectly balanced old + new by pairing classic round tables and contemporary tufted chairs.

Bows and rich browns: Linens from Nüage Designs made these neutral place settings feel so luxurious.

Love the choice of using torn edge paper scroll calligraphy place cards to add some delicate, antique drama to the reception setup.

Brb, adding SO many white taper candles to our carts. This glowy shoot has us so inspired.

Bows are one of our fave trends of the moment, so we love to see the way they were incorporated in the day’s design vision.

Model Julianne switched into a show-stopping strapless reception dress, and we are obsessed.

100% here for this dramatic, sweeping 3D floral wedding cape.

And for all the candle-heads out there loving this shoot’s glowy vibe, we’ve got a list of the best candles with unforgettable scents you need to check out.

Nothing better than a mid-celebration wedding hairstyle switch! Very into this glamorous Old Hollywood down-do.

If this editorial has you imagining a b+w wedding day of your own, check out this “minimal but extra” Santorini wedding, this luxe California estate wedding, and this two-dress elopement in Iceland to see some of our favorite weddings with monochromatic color worlds.

Not only is this tufted boucle guest seating chic + contemporary, it’s also beyond cozy.

Love the way Brookie Cookie Bakery included so much asymmetrical, organic texture in this tiered all-white wedding cake.

We love the idea of pairing some sleek black wedding heels with a short wedding dress! Such a fun way to embrace the b+w color scheme for the reception!

We cannot wait to see the drapery + candle filled weddings this gorgeous shoot will inspire. Congrats to the entire vendor team!
