The Ebell of Los Angeles | Matthew and Emalee's Wedding

Themes of timeless elegance and intentionality surrounded Matthew and Emalee’s much-anticipated wedding at the Ebell of Los Angeles. Amidst the grandeur of the Renaissance-style architecture, the Ebell was the absolute best wedding venue to reflect the couple’s vibrant spirits. Emalee specifically requested a Bridgerton-meets-Gossip-Girl aesthetic, and with the help of coordinator Renee Dalo of Moxie Bright Events, her wish was granted. A classic black and white color palette was chosen and expanded on, with florals from Winston & Main featuring crisp California poppies, roses, and orchids. Everything worked together to accentuate the quintessential Hollywood glamour of the Ebell.

Once the ceremony had ended and the cocktail hour commenced, it was evident that this was meant to be a party. A dream team of dedicated vendors came together, each adding their own exciting element to the affair (be sure and peruse the full list at the end of this post). Live painter Brittany Branson immortalized the event with an heirloom quality hand-painted depiction of the couple’s first dance. Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed the photo booth, secured a late night snack from the french fry bar or In-N-Out truck, and ended the night strong with a custom cappuccino. To top it all off, the couple hired a personalized cigar roller to work the wedding reception, adding an extra layer of sophistication that fit right in at the Ebell of Los Angeles. Together, these elements sang of the experiential magic Matthew and Emalee had dreamed of for the day and ensured their union was an extravaganza of revelry that will live on for decades.
