This Couple Included a Traditional Korean Pye'Baek in Their Wedding at Terrain at Styer's in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania

A self-professed “nontraditional couple,” Lauren and Wes  eloped to Joshua Tree National Park in 2017. “There wasn’t a proposal, and there were no engagement rings,” Lauren says. A year later, the pair worked together to plan a wedding that “felt personal and low-key to reflect our personalities,” Lauren says. Because they’re both designers, Lauren and Wes observed the details with a critical eye, sticking with an organic, minimal “wabi-sabi” style. “We wanted to use a palette that reflected the beautiful neutral colors and textures of the desert,” Lauren says. The flowers were sculptural and asymmetrical, the champagne-flavored cake was more of an art piece, and after the Korean tea ceremony, the couple dined with 12 guests beneath a soaring skylight. Lauren carried fresh and dried wildflowers and roses, the textures and colors of which were inspired by their elopement at Joshua Tree National Park. Lauren and Wes chose Terrain because its open-air, rustic aesthetic provided what she calls a “beautiful complement” to the more refined, delicate details of the traditional Korean paebaek. For the Korean ceremony, Lauren and Wes wore hanboks. Lauren and Wes chose an eclectic, minimal design specifically for the centerpieces. “We wanted the arrangements to be simple so they would highlight the natural beauty of the stems,” Lauren says.
