Lush greenery lined the walls of the atrium of Paola and Tom’s Smogshoppe wedding ceremony in Los Angeles, CA. They vowed to spend their lives together in the presence of 100 of their dearest loved ones. Their words and joyful laughs echoed softly as they exchanged rings and sealed the deal with a kiss.

As sunset approached, guests filed into the reception area that had been meticulously arranged by Orange Blossom Special Events. Candles and simple flower vases adorned each of the long banquet tables. After dinner, the newlyweds enjoyed heartwarming toasts from a few of their closest friends before dancing the night away to their favorite love songs.

The awesome thing about having your wedding at the Smogshoppe is the super unique and industrial looking space for the reception. One side features an exposed brick wall and the other side has giant windowed garage doors that can be opened or closed depending on your preferences. The soft elegance of wedding decor juxtaposed against this industrial grunge venue makes for a really cool and unique wedding style!
