The Bride Tana Pierce, 27, creative director and lead artist for Bohemian Bloom Atelier The Groom Scott Gerber, 28, founder and president of the Young Entrepreneur Council The Date November 11 Drawing inspiration from the Angel Orensanz Foundation, Tana and Scott wanted to create a lush, vintage-chic vibe for their day. They used warm colors with dramatic lighting and draping, and tied the look together with a paper floral motif.

Tana made her cascading bouquet by crafting roses, hydrangeas, peonies and ivy leaves out of paper.
Tana wore a one-shoulder ball gown with a traditional cathedral-length veil. Scott chose a classic look with a black suit and gray ascot.
Striking uplighting and string lights gave the venue a glamorous look.
The guys wore paper-flower boutonnieres.
Paper flowers and dozens of pillar candles created a romantic vibe during the late-morning ceremony.
