Natural light and fresh, nature inspired wedding details don't always mean an outdoor ceremony and white lights strung over a long table reception and large, loosely arranged bouquets filled with foraged blooms (though I can't deny I have a major thing for those types of weddings). In this case, a minimalist space featuring stark white walls, a textured cement floor, pale bar-height seating,...
