A Fresh Take on Weddings at The Arbor Loft
by Ember Event Management – Wedding Planner in Rochester, NY
The first styled shoot at the NEW Arbor Loft in Downtown Rochester was one for the books. The shoot showcased the Loft’s modern design and was a collab with top tier vendors highlighting how thoughtful details and a clean, flexible venue can create a timeless and personal wedding experience.
We were inspired by the elegance and versatility of The Arbor Loft. With its natural light, subtle textures, and thoughtful details, we aimed to create a design that reflects the style of couples seeking a sophisticated yet approachable wedding in Rochester.
We collaborated closely with Midnight Moss on the design, drawing inspiration from springtime in Rochester for the florals.
The Arbor Loft’s open floor plan and minimalist aesthetic make it a true blank canvas (a canvas with stunning chandeliers, of course!). As part of the team began setting up the tablescapes, our dream team of stylists got the couple photo-ready. Jess Boddery nailed the soft glam look we envisioned, while Noir Beauty crushed both the sleek updo and a quick style for our groom. The updated suites also offered an incredible space for the couple to get ready — so naturally, we had to kick off the shoot there.
Meanwhile, downstairs, a special touch in the shoot was the vintage flatware passed down from my mom — a reminder that personal details can absolutely be woven into modern weddings.

It paired perfectly with the hand-pressed stationery from Posey Letterpress. Honestly, we gave her very little direction, and she nailed it. The envelope liners matched the florals so seamlessly, it felt meant to be.
