Nicole & John’s wedding at Tendenza by Cescaphe in Philadelphia was the epitome of modern elegance. Set against the backdrop of Tendenza’s industrial-chic architecture, their celebration blended classic and contemporary design elements to create a day that felt both timeless and fresh.
A Classic Yet Modern Vision
Nicole envisioned a wedding that was chic and luxurious, with a refined black-and-white palette. The goal? To create a setting that felt as curated and impactful as it was celebratory. Lavish Haus worked closely with the couple to bring this vision to life, balancing sleek, modern touches with hints of timeless luxury that elevated every moment of the day.
Nicole & John’s attention to detail was clear in every aspect. From personalized cocktail napkins by Revival Letter Press to monogrammed cocktail garnishes, each element was thoughtfully chosen. Adding a unique touch, family members wore meaningful watches, honoring a shared passion and creating a stylish, timeless look.
Elevating Tendenza’s Industrial Vibe with Luxe Details
Tendenza’s unique mix of industrial features provided the perfect canvas for Nicole & John’s dream decor. To contrast the venue’s modern lines, we brought in lush floral installations by Beautiful Blooms, transforming the space with a stunning arrangement of florals and candles. The floral display near the stage doubled as a ceremony backdrop and later, an eye-catching piece during the evening’s festivities.
While the black-and-white scheme remained the primary color palette, candles added a warm glow, and lush green accents softened the venue’s structure. Tablescapes showcased curated rentals from Vision Furniture and Something Vintage. With custom menus, elegant place settings, and linens from BBJ La Tavola, every detail came together to create a cohesive, polished look.
Champagne, Wine, and Philly Charm
Nicole & John wanted their guests to experience an elegant yet seamless celebration. With a love for champagne and fine wine, they featured a curated selection along with signature cocktails that reflected their personalities. Philly Snap Booth added a fun, interactive element, letting guests capture keepsakes to take home, while The Gramercy from Elegant Music Group kept the dance floor energized.
The couple’s love for Philadelphia was woven into the event, with Tendenza’s city views providing a memorable backdrop for their reception. Every carefully curated detail, from cocktails to florals, reflected the couple’s love for the city they call home.
