Unique Wedding Reception Ideas
The reception project we’re featuring today is for both vintage and modern newlyweds who want to get more inspiration for an artistic wedding. The couple in this shoot thought to incorporate some of their favorite things and bring them together in a very unique wedding. We can see that the results are formidable. This wedding looks like not other, that’s for sure! And isn’t this what we all want for our Big Day? Uniqueness, originality, creativity and versatility!

To reveal the entire secret of this remarkable wedding, we should tell you that this entire project was inspired by the wedding gown the bride wore. This design was taken from the dress Leslie Caron worn in the movie “Gigi”. This is where all the ‘50s style glamour comes from. The sensibility of the Parisian ‘20s style is also present all over this wedding. Everything was created to fit this vintage flair and this is why this space looks so dramatic and gallantly whimsical.
