A Sophisticated Moody Wedding Planned By Two Be Wed

We just can’t get enough of this sophisticated moody wedding planned and designed by Two Be Wed in shades of aubergine, gold, lilac and merlot. Arden and Matthew tied the knot in a late August affair that was both artful and romantic in tone, with so many stunning stylistic details and plenty of beautiful blooms. Both bride and groom’s families cultivate open and welcoming households with food, drink and plenty of good times, so that’s just what Arden and Matt wanted to share with all their guests! Partygoers enjoyed a lavish evening full of delicious craft cocktails, plus catering courtesy of A Fare Extraordinaire. Keeping with theme and serving up a little something sweet, this mod black wedding cake in four luxe tiers looks almost too good to eat. An evening full of high-energy dancing and fun was captured in full detail by Reverent Wedding Films in a moody wedding highlight that this couple will be able to look back on for years to come – and you can see for yourself down below! Read on for a note from the bride about one of her dream wedding makers and what made them so special. Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Phillips!

From the bride: “We’re both extremely thorough and measured with decisions, but we knew at the first meeting that Natalie, at Two Be Wed, was our ideal planner. She understood our aesthetics, wants and needs and was able to translate that into an event that was more than we even knew to wish for. On top of all that, she’s a pro at navigating tense or sticky situations, and had no trouble pushing back on each of us in the way we most needed it.”
