Some of you may have already heard, but if you haven't, Riding Tandem has teamed up with a new venue, The Caroline, located in Tempe, AZ! We are so excited to share this beautiful space with you! Although our grand opening is not until November 7th, we have already worked alongside so many amazing vendors to create engaging content for the launch of the new venue. We are so incredibly grateful for everyone who contributed to our styled shoot last month and we can’t wait for you to see what we were able to create!

Our styled shoot started with our beautiful models, Krizia, Jourdan, and Krystal arriving at the venue for hair and makeup. Koral of Braids and Bobbypins set up shop in the bridal suite and began working her magic. Koral specializes in color, cut, bridal hair, and make-up, but you can add tearing up the dance floor to her list of expertise as well!

Allison of Array Design had a vision which was beautifully executed that day. She not only created one, but two arch floral designs! Her neutral colored centerpieces were absolutely captivating and with the help of Material Girls Weddings, BBJ Linen, and Paige and Pen, she was able to make her design come to life.

We couldn’t have had a styled shoot without a photographer and videographer! The amazing editorial wedding photographer Lea, her second shooter Alyssa, and the very talented Ryan and Brianna of Wild Story Films were there capturing every moment of our day. From the flat lays of the invitation suite to the first look, not one detail was missed.

Once our models, Marios, Christopher, and Ryan arrived, they were photographed getting ready in The Caroline’s groom room, wearing suits by Celebrity Tux and Tails. Our social media team also had a little fun with them, creating fun and entertaining Tik Toks!

Our stunning bride, Krizia, was photographed in two gowns that day. The first one was an Ines Di Santo Aria gown from Destiny’s Bride and the second was a Pronovias Eureka gown from Schaffer’s Bridal. Both Krizia and Marios wore vintage inspired rings by Olive Avenue Jewelry.

After pictures were captured in the bridal suite and the groom room, the ceremony began! With signage from Etchings by Emma, music by Selin Esko, and with our officiant Mike, more beautiful content was created. Rings were exchanged underneath the arch provided by The Caroline and designed by our favorite florist, Allison.

Following the ceremony, guests and vendors were able to create keepsakes in The FotoBooth Bus and enjoy drinks served by Couple of Bartenders! And don’t think we forgot to mention Abbie Cakes Co.! Their pecan macarons were to die for! Once desserts were eaten and pictures were taken, Trego the DJ MC’d the night away!

All in all, our day at The Caroline could not have gone better. The effort put in by every vendor who showed up helped create fabulous content and even greater memories. We can’t thank everyone enough for their amazing work done and we can’t wait to host even more events and weddings at the charming new venue, The Caroline!
