27 September

Claudia + Sam

WHERE LIGHT LINGERS | 84 GUESTS | THE CEDAR LAWN

On the Cedar Lawn, the ceremony was framed by tall trees and an aisle of timber chairs, where guests watched white petals fall as Claudia and Sam stepped back down the grass hand in hand. She wore a strapless lace ballgown with a corset-style bodice, floral appliqué and a soft satin belt tied into a small bow, her hair worn long in glossy waves beneath a cathedral veil edged with lace. Sam’s black tuxedo and bow tie set the tone from the first moment, echoed by bridesmaids in sculptural black gowns—strapless and tiered with soft ruffles—each carrying a single white bloom finished with trailing ribbon. Florals moved between deep red roses and cascading white orchids, carried through to the long tables beneath the glass ceiling, where linen, candlelight and warm timber chairs held the afternoon light. Later, Claudia changed into a sparkling second dress, catching every glint of the evening as the celebration softened into something intimate and unhurried.
