Abby and Adam got married at The Glasshouse; a tranquil oasis in the heart of Morningside, Auckland. The city wedding venue offers a romantic escape from the hustle and bustle of the city; set amongst oak trees and olives, with modern timber panelling, festoon lighting and high, glass ceilings.
Abby and Adam’s relaxed approach to their wedding day saw them steer clear of the black and white minimalist look, and embrace a light and summery aesthetic which set the scene for their celebrations. They turned to bright pops of colour in the floral arrangements and retro typography in the signage to inspire energy and to create a fun, lively atmosphere.
Abby was truly eye-catching in a one-of-a-kind wedding dress from Amare Bride, which was embellished in pearl adornments and featured striking statement organza sleeves and a straight-cut neckline. Her bridal bouquet, courtesy of Blush Floral, was fresh and feminine in soft hues of peach, pops of orange and white, and the colours were reflected in the floral decorations on their two-tier cake from The Caker.
Adam and his groomsmen were dapper in modern black suits, tuxedo-style shirts and black bow ties, while the bridesmaids suited the floral palette perfectly in soft, silky rusts. The central wedding location meant that bridal party photos were set against the city-scape of Britomart with alleyways, brick walls, and tree-lined backdrops.
Wedding guests dined at long wooden tables with natural linen tablecloths, wooden chairs and minimal, earthy-toned styling. The beautiful simplicity of the decor was an intentional choice, with the pair focusing instead on the food, the energy and the atmosphere of the day.
