Carondelet House wedding: Rowina and Mark

The brick walls, the relaxed and rustic vibe, and the the twinkle-lit courtyards at the Carondelet House venue near downtown Los Angeles make it quite the magical place. We envy any couple that gets to celebrate their wedding there. And we envy Rad + In Love for capturing not just any wedding there, but this dreamy one. Even with 120 guests, everything about their wedding felt so intimate. Maybe it was all the gorgeous lace details in Rowina and her bridesmaids’ dresses, or the candlelit alter both of their fathers created for them, but we’re loving it to bits.

How amazing is her Rodarte star hair pin? Dying.

These macaroon jewel boxes are the cutest and make perfect bridesmaids gifts.

The living succulent walls on both sides of the alter were built by Mark’s dad and later served as favors for guests to walk up to and pick off.

Rowina’s dad created the paper installation for the alter.

Both Rowina + Mark are super creative, so they actually designed and made their invitations, those rad gold and white coasters at east setting, menus, poster, and decorations.
