The Perfect White & Beige Wedding Ceremony
Under the oversized ceilings of the church, Ellana and Paolo said, 'I do,' at the ancient altar. They knew that the beautiful venue would be a bold statement, so the ceremony decor was carefully added to elevate without distracting.
Ellana and Paolo leaned on their White and Beige color palette to work with the natural tones of the church.

The traditional Catholic Wedding Lasso
The wedding lasso tradition is a Catholic ritual in which the couple is bound together with a ceremonial cord, rope, or rosary. Romantically, the wedding lasso symbolizes the couple’s unending love for each other and their foundation of faith as they enter into holy matrimony. In this case, the cord was a pearly white braided rope, which looked absolutely ethereal against Ellana's lace veil.
