Rachel and Mike’s Romantic and Emotional Wedding at Hilton Garden Inn

Rachel’s wedding was filled with thoughtful, personal touches that made the day truly unique. As an aesthetician, she did her own makeup, bringing her signature style to life, while a separate artist and assistant took care of her bridal party. She also showcased her creativity by handcrafting polymer clay jewelry for her bridesmaids, adding a personal and meaningful touch to their look.

The wedding’s color palette of dusty blue and silver perfectly complemented the romantic atmosphere. Honoring lost loved ones was a heartfelt priority, with her cousin officiating using their grandfather’s cherished wedding binder and words, a remembrance table to reflect on those no longer with them, and the inclusion of her grandparents’ wedding rings—married for 62 years—which Rachel described as the greatest honor of all.

As an interfaith couple, Rachel and her husband wanted to incorporate Jewish traditions while ensuring the day felt relaxed and inclusive for all their guests. It was a beautiful balance of tradition and modern celebration.

Some of the most memorable moments happened in the quiet, intimate times—like their private vows and a final private dance before their sparkler send-off. A standout moment was when Rachel sang La Vie En Rose for their first dance, a song she had always dreamed of singing on her wedding day. Her husband heard it for the first time during the reception, making it even more special and emotional.

Capturing their day was an absolute joy, filled with so many personal details that reflected their love story in the most meaningful way.
