This Couple Chose a Blue Color Palette For Their Wedding at Huguenot Mill and Loft in Greenville, South Carolina

Andrew and R.L.  have their own way of doing things, one that combines time-honored tradition with creative personalization. For example, Andrew and R.L. both proposed (with Hamilton tickets and a trip to Paris respectively). “Wedding traditions required renegotiation for us,” R.L. says. The couple’s day represented that duality from start to finish. The ceremony took a church-inspired feel thanks to softly draped fabrics and candles, while the reception was modern with sharp geometric décor and gold accents. Andrew and R.L.’s ceremonial reading choices also exemplified their style: A close friend read an excerpt from the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision for marriage equality to honor Andrew and R.L.’s newfound constitutional right

.Andrew and R.L. balanced modern geometrics and acrylics with softer, dreamier textures and fabrics. “We tried to add a few edges to give a bit of a masculine vibe,” Andrew says. The couple found the process of designing their custom tuxedos was an eye-opening one. “We had no idea how many details there would be to consider,” Andrew says.
