It was the hottest day of summer when Kasia and Artur tied the knot at Stara Oranżeria. The Polish greenhouse venue appealed to couple’s stylish and free-spirited vibes, and looked absolutely dreamy filled with the whimsical DIY decor of the wedding. WhiteSmoke Studio captured the effortless joy and unique details of the day, from Kasia’s custom pink embroidered dress to the newlyweds’ first cha cha on the dancefloor.

The Couple:

Kasia and Artur

Arthur is a photographer and I’m a make-up artist, so we work every day in the world of fashion and beauty, and our wedding look was a reflection of our daily style. Artur chose white trousers, white shirt, brown suspenders, a blue jacket with white buttons, floral bow tie pattern with pink parrot and brogue shoes. I had a short pastel pink dress with floral lace designed by a young Polish designer embroidered by hand with silver Swarovski crystals. My dress shimmered in the sun! I love everything about my wedding dress; it is literally perfect and unique. I had a lovely wreath with golden leaves on my head.

The most important part of planning was dreaming up our style and picking a location. We wanted to feel natural and free on our wedding day, so we chose an old outdoor greenhouse. We had a small, romantic wedding that was fancy and full of colors.

The most memorable part of our day was the ceremony and marriage vows. Surrounded by bridesmaids and groomsmen and family, with everyone watching, it was stressful, but also beautiful and full of love and emotion.

Our day was the hottest day of summer in Poland, so we decided to surprise our guests with an Italian ice cream truck.

We wanted to combine the colors of greenhouses and garden with our vision. At the beginning, we wanted to use pastel colors but they very poorly harmonized with the natural greenery. Finally we chose white, lime, pastel and intense yellow.

Vibrant and Relaxed Backyard Wedding in San Jose, California

Kim and Mario kept the focus of their wedding in San Jose on family and faith. After an intimate church ceremony, the newlyweds headed out into the dreamy sunlight with Dallas Kolotylo Photography, who brilliantly captured their wedding day bliss. Wedding guests gathered in a cozy backyard with café lights and cupcakes to celebrate the couple’s “I dos” and happy ever after.

The Couple:

Kim and Mario

The whole day was incredible. Probably the most memorable was the part that only our photographers witnessed, when I walked out to Mario just before the ceremony to see each other for the first time that day. That was the height of emotion for us, and it was such a personal and private moment on a day for publicly declaring your love and devotion.

We weeded out some common traditions in order to magnify the vows we were making before God, our family, and our friends. We wanted our ceremony to be real. What we mean by that is that we didn’t want a big dress reveal or attention to be on a cake. We wanted each one there to feel a part of our ceremony, to know that we truly valued them being involved in such a momentous event in our lives.

We didn’t have specific colors, but we did have a whole lot of brightly colored flowers and foliage! We selected and arranged them with our families from the flower mart in San Francisco, California and I even arranged my own bouquet with the help of my mom and sister. I loved how it all turned out—I wouldn’t have changed a thing about it.

Working with Dallas and Sabrina was like a dream. They are absolute professionals. While they are replete with incredible ideas, they don’t stage photos nor do they get in the way of memories actually happening just for a picture. They preserve the feel of the day in beautiful photography. Looking at our album takes us right back to exactly the way we remember our wedding day. You can’t really put a price on that.

Betsy’s bridal look even gave a nod to June’s style with a flowing Reem Acra gown and her long brown hair teased in the back and adorned with a delicate crown of jewels. Dan Stewart Photography beautifully captured the swoon-worthy details designed by Smitten Events; our favorite being the killer dessert bar!

The most memorable part of the day was walking back down the aisle, after saying “I do.” We were completely overwhelmed by the smiles and happiness on the faces of our family and friends.

We wanted a vibe of rustic elegance for our wedding. Luckily enough, we have wonderful friends that own a beautiful apple orchard with a big red barn, which was the most picturesque venue we could have imagined.
