Healthcare Workers Celebrate Their Love At An Intimate Rooftop Wedding

March 23, 2021 | Junebug Weddings

We love healthcare workers, especially when they plan an intimate rooftop wedding with their guests’ health in mind. With personalized masks, a virtual ceremony online, and an open-air environment, Bhavni & Ricardo celebrated their love in the cutest, and safest way. Thankfully, Fawn Events created a space filled with luxe modern chairs, colorful florals, and—of course—a mariachi band. 

Planning a wedding during a pandemic isn’t easy. If you’re looking for inspiration on how to throw a small, intimate wedding, keep scrolling to see this COVID-conscious wedding captured by Mariana Pierce. Trust us, you’ll want to pin the sanitizer bottles, the masks, and the table setups. 

The Couple:

Bhavni and Ricardo

The Wedding:

Los Angeles, California

Planning A Wedding During A Pandemic 

By far, our priority at all times—before, during, and after—was the health of our loved ones and all those involved in executing our celebration. Every step we took in planning, and every degree of stress that came with it, was with the pandemic in mind. Our largest sigh of relief came two weeks after the ceremony, when we confirmed that all those in attendance were in good health and COVID-19 free.

Advice From The Bride

It sounds so cliché, but try not to stress! I had complete confidence in our wedding planner, which took a huge load off of us. I’d say invest in vendors and wedding planners that you have complete confidence in so your day is in good hands.

Why An Intimate Rooftop Wedding?

After abandoning all hope in our original plan (a destination wedding in Zacatecas, Mexico), and being limited by LA County’s fluctuating public health protocols, we had to pivot multiple times. Serendipitously, our apartment’s rooftop and helipad provided an unexpected opportunity to celebrate our love with Downtown LA’s urban canopy in the background. The location allowed us to guarantee social distancing in an open-air environment, and simultaneously minimize the need for air travel—as a large percentage of our wedding party and family live in or around the southern California area.

Gifts For Their Virtual Wedding Guests

Because most of our originally-invited guests could no longer attend, we sent wedding day gift boxes to each of them—containing champagne and personalized COVID-19 masks— so that they could feel they were still part of our special day while streaming the ceremony online.

Simply Elegant Outdoor Micro Wedding

March 22, 2021 | riley

For some couples, tying the knot in a civil ceremony at the courthouse isn’t ideal, but we love the fact that couples aren’t letting COVID get in the way of celebrating their love however they can. Janine and Sarah celebrated their love for one another in a simply elegant outdoor micro wedding after saying “I do” at the registry office, and it was everything you could want in an intimate affair.

Friends and family surrounded the couple as they promised their lives to each other before heading outside for drinks and portraits. Photographer Hannah Konda Fotographie beautifully captured the free-spirited vibes of the day, and we can’t wait to share them with you! So keep scrolling to see how less can be more.

The Timeline Of The Outdoor Micro Wedding

We tied the knot at the registry office with family and our closest friends. The style was very formal. But after the ceremony, we had a great get-together in one of the parks nearby, where we took photos.

Wedding Day Advice

Be exactly who you are. It does not matter if things do not work out as you expect. No matter what, it will be the best day of your life, so don’t let anything get you down–even when your party is smaller due to COVID restrictions. We had to move our big party because of COVID, but it was still the best day of our lives! Get back to the original thought of why you are getting married. It’s because you love your partner, and that’s all that counts.

Custom Wedding Day Fashion

We each have our own style. We looked at a lot of dresses, but in the end, the suit was designed for Sarah, and the skirt and top that Janine wore was a combination that we chose ourselves. Everything we found in the shops was not really our desired style.
