The Sweetest Microwedding at Fitz & Waffles

From the moment Phoenix stepped into glam, the day was infused with vibrancy. Her look was inspired by spring’s brightest hues—complete with a glowing makeup palette, pops of citrus-toned eyeshadow, and a punchy lip color that tied perfectly into the theme. Her veil, accented with subtle floral appliqués, added a romantic softness to her modern bridal style.

Deylan’s styling was clean and classic, allowing Phoenix’s bold look to take center stage while still coordinating seamlessly. Together, their chemistry lit up every photo, adding authenticity and fun to the shoot that no amount of planning could ever replicate.

The creative team leaned into bright, joyful colors in every detail—from the saturated floral arrangements to the carefully curated table settings. The color palette for this microwedding blended shades of fuchsia, orange, lemon yellow, and electric coral—setting the tone for a spring wedding full of personality and fun.

Florals stole the show in more ways than one. Oversized arrangements popped with color and texture, bringing life to the venue’s clean lines and open layout. Each bouquet and centerpiece was thoughtfully styled to complement the couple’s vibe while standing out in every frame.

The tablescape was a playful nod to retro brunch culture, with colorful glassware, layered place settings, and pops of pattern that felt effortlessly cool. And of course, Fitz & Waffles’ signature dishes made an appearance, adding a cozy, foodie-forward element that made the whole event feel approachable and real.

One of our favorite moments? Watching Phoenix and Deylan share a quiet laugh over coffee and waffles between shots. Those candid moments—full of joy, nerves, and real connection—remind us why we do what we do.

This content day wasn’t just about pretty pictures. It was about creating space for inspiration, collaboration, and community—highlighting how creativity and love can shine when we give them room to breathe.
