Geoff and Alex’s Casablanca-Inspired Wedding at the Sanctuary at Lotte Hotel was an evening of glamor and sophistication for these two dashing gents. Surrounded by friends and family, attorney Alex and physical therapist Geoff were wed in style and elegance in Seattle’s oldest church, ending with an evening of dance and partying befitting a soiree set in this once exotic destination in Morocco. With a black and gold color scheme, planners New Creations Weddings & Events styled a celebration that was a jetset display of luxury and class. Florists Oak Fig Floral designed centerpieces of monstera and orchids reminiscent of tropical flora and fauna, bringing an air of faraway mystique to the nuptials.
