A Classic Foliage-Filled Wedding at The Loading Dock in Stamford, Connecticut

Bianca Richards and Nathan Tulloch let their venue lead the way when wedding planning. “Our top priority was finding a place that felt industrial and modern and really spoke for itself,” Bianca says. “The Loading Dock was exactly what we were looking for, with brick walls and plenty of room.” From there, the couple chose the details of the day’s design, intentionally picking modern touches, like Insta-ready lounge areas, succulent favors and dark, moody colors to complement the space.

Self-professed foodies Bianca and Nathan put a lot of thought into the dessert spread. The couple cut into a cake made of two different flavors: a single tier of yellow cake topped with cookies-and-cream buttercream and two tiers of red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and strawberry purée. Partygoers also grabbed ice cream sandwiches, mini apple pies and other sweets. bouquet Bianca and her ladies carried arrangements of white roses and eucalyptus.
