Then we decorated the reception area more toward our modern, edgy taste. We incorporated matte black signage, black rose petals, a luxe balloon design and plenty of areas for photo ops! A lot of our decor was DIY. I had a particular vision and knew it was something I wanted to create myself.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary (6)\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary (6)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81001\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-6-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary (7)\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary (7)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81002\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/these-two-brides-had-an-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-with-neon-signs-a-sparkler-send-off-and-a-sweet-idea-for-celebrating-their-first-anniversary-7-585x392.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What were the flowers like at your wedding?<\/h3>\n<p>Florals were a big part of our day!

How did you both choose your wedding day looks?<\/h3>\n<p>I always had a vision for my wedding day look. I wanted it to resemble my personal style but also have a classic look. I selected two dresses: my first dress was from a local couture boutique, House of BellaChic. The dress is ivory with long lace sleeves, a mermaid silhouette and a low back. It sparkles and has intricate detailing on the train. My second dress was from David&#8217;s Bridal, and we customized it a bit. The second dress was for the reception, so I wanted it to be a bit looser and fun. The dress is white, with iridescent sequins, gorgeous lace and glittery lining. For this dress, we added a corset detail in the back, removed the cap sleeves and cut the lining to have a sheer modern look. I paired both looks with a Swarovski necklace, large diamond earrings, Hollywood curls and pearl embellishments.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria knew she wanted to wear a bridal suit, but did not want to blend in with all our friends and family. She chose a beautiful modern ivory tux from Little Black Tux, with satin lapel detailing. She wore an ivory bodysuit to compliment her figure, ivory patent leather shoes, an intricate low bun and a Movado blue watch.<\/p>\n<p><a

reveal. We decided to do a first look before the ceremony under a willow tree. We were so nervous and anxious to see each other! I remember us both shaking. I tapped on her shoulder, she turned around and instantly we both smiled and laughed. We shared our vows in private under the willow tree. This was by far my favorite moment because it was so pure and just us.<\/p>\n<p><a

share is to take it all in. We all spend so much time preparing for the wedding: meeting with vendors, making decisions, working to pay for the wedding, getting spa services\u2026and it is all for this one day. I saw this in a bridal group, and it was such a simple, yet fantastic piece of advice: &#8220;Every hour during your wedding, take a moment to look at your partner and take it in. You will carry these snapshots forever.&#8221; <a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/cropped-favicon.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"The Equally Wed
