Not every bride is a white dress, church ceremony, ballroom reception kind of bride. Nope. In fact, these days, most aren’t. Having planned more then 800 weddings, Floral & Event Designer Nancy Liu Chin knows a thing or two about what’s trending and what’s not. And the Unconventional Couple? They are officially a thing. So – together with crazy talented planner and designer, Christina Nichols of Parker Nichols Events – the pair is breaking down the components needed to truly design an aesthetically gorgeous though unconventional affair – from color selection to gown choice, any everything in between. Renowned Photographer Kevin Chin (who also happens to be Nancy’s hubs!) is behind all of this gorgeous imagery.

Which doesn’t surprise us too terribly given the total all-star vendor line-up behind the canvas. Kate Holt, lead designer and owner of FlowerWild conceptualized the day where the deep haze of Summer set the tone for the color palette and insane flowers reigned total queen. Partnering with Lavenders Flowers and Arc Rentals for perfect execution and the genius that is Sally Pinera to photograph the day, the result is something that wedding dreams are made of…if you are a total dreamer like me.
