Modern elegance doesn’t have to be all glitz and glamour: this shoot by Rachel E. H. Photography displays a true heart of gold with a real couple celebrating their seven-year marriage.
Black, white and gold utensils, stationary, napkins, and even the dog’s satin bowtie make for a traditional and elegant affair. Greenery, a soft blue marbled cake, and bronze drop earrings add a twist of modern allure.
The bride wears minimal makeup with soft blush accents and softly curled hair. Her sweetheart Hayley Paige gown, with a full skirt and draped, taffeta layers is both timeless and updated. Her groom, in a gray tux with wide lapels and a bow tie to match their dog’s, also sports a both timeless and fresh look.
Diamond accents, draped chiffon, and simple white floral arrangements show just how beautiful understated modern elegance can be.
