D+M’s Fairmont Copley Plaza wedding was absolutely stunning. They made the right choices for their day so that they could kick back and relax and enjoy- trusting their pro’s to take care of the rest. And I have repeatedly heard M say it was “the best day ever!” No doubt.
So I asked their amazing planner, Alexis of Unique Weddings by Alexis, to share a bit about the style and inspiration for the wedding as well as how she helped it all come together. Here’s what she shared….
“Lush. Elegant. Romantic. This extravagant affair was more than M+D had wished for. The room came together beautifully, the decor was so well balanced. Although the tall centerpieces were grand and powerful, they perfectly connected the gorgeous tablescapes to the magnificently lit ceiling creating an overall “wow” to the space. The ceremony was just as spectacular as the reception with the orchid adorned mirrored chuppah and romantic lighting.
With all this stupendous decor, there were many, many logistics to handle. It began in the planning stages with the floral arrangements, linen and table rentals, lighting design, menu cards and many more pieces of the puzzle. Once the design was locked in, next came the execution which involved a whole team of professionals (see below). Finally the set up on the day of the wedding was like conducting an orchestra; everyone needed to be in the right place at the right time, especially with the quick flip of the ballroom during the cocktail hour. As the “conductor” for the day, I was able to work with the fabulous Fairmont team and the designers on site to create the wedding of M’s dreams while she, D and their parents were able to enjoy every moment of the wedding day, uninterrupted, from start to finish.”
No wonder Bliss Celebrations Guide included this wedding in their most recent issue. It was perfection.
And it couldn’t have happened without an amazing team:
