New Jersey offers a wide range of picturesque locations, from sprawling estates to charming vineyards and historic mansions. Consider outdoor venues with lush greenery and water views, like Sofia’s, to capture the Garden State’s natural beauty.
Timeless Elegance
The overarching theme of Sofia Richie’s wedding was timeless elegance, and it permeated every aspect of the celebration. The bride’s choice of a classic A-line gown with intricate lace detailing exuded grace and sophistication. The soft neutrals and white color palette, complemented by delicate floral arrangements, created an atmosphere of understated luxury.
