When Jay and Pauline decided to tie the knot, they knew exactly what they wanted: A small, intimate gathering that would feel just right for their introverted personalities. Celebrating 16 years of togetherness, the couple brought their love full circle with just 30 guests at a cozy restaurant reception, marking a refreshing departure from the lavish celebrations we often see.
Pauline’s stunning bouquet, a vibrant mix of fresh blooms and dried flowers, was a DIY masterpiece that perfectly complemented her minimalist gown. The couple even channeled their inner artists to craft their own wedding invitations, favors (a delicious bread dipping sauce!), and message cards – adding a personal touch to every detail.
Jay and Pauline’s wedding story reminds us that love doesn’t need a grand stage – sometimes, all it needs is the presence of loved ones, a touch of creativity, and a whole lot of heart. Get inspired by their beautiful day through these photos from Sunday Morning Studios.
