This breathtaking day proves that magic happens when thoughtful design meets genuine love. Emilee and Mike's story is one for the ages—she from England, he from New Hampshire—brought together by fate through an artist residency in the very building where they would later say "I do." Talk about coming full circle!
The vision for this celebration was all about embracing the inherent beauty of the space while keeping things elegantly attainable. Instead of extravagant florals, they leaned into the drama of the soaring 20-foot ceilings with a show-stopping hanging installation of lush greenery that became the perfect focal point. The goal? To show just how stunning a Factory wedding can be without breaking the bank.
Their design philosophy centered on using what makes The Factory special as the foundation: the exposed brick walls, built-in bistro lighting, and open industrial layout that defines this Whimsical Industrial aesthetic. They softened the bold elements with flickering candlelight, organic greenery, and those perfect "elegant feel" moments that made every corner Instagram-worthy.
From the ornate vintage wedding cake that looked like a work of art to the intimate coffee bar moment surrounded by Edison bulb ambiance, every detail told their unique story. The classic sage and white color palette with those personal touches, like vintage botanical details and heirloom elements, created an atmosphere that felt both timeless and totally them.
This celebration is proof that with intention, creativity, and heart, you can craft a wedding that's both elevated and approachable. It's about the contrast that makes love stories beautiful: old meets new, industrial meets romantic, bold meets soft...just like Emilee and Mike themselves.
