This incredibly elegant and delicate inspo event featured Arisce and Mike, recent winners of MTV’s “Ex On the Beach.” Arisce might look familiar to some as she has appeared in numerous commercials and other programing in her work as a top model for SLAY models, the world’s first exclusively transgender modeling agency.
“We are committed to representing the LGBTQ+ community, and have made it a priority to portray Trans weddings artistically and luxuriously,” says Ray Barrett of

in a stunning
Monique Lhuillier
gown called “the Dahlia,” Arisce looked as if she was floating on air, a feeling that every bride should experience on her wedding day. This gorgeous dress offered creative inspiration throughout the entire concept, including delicate details on the Artisan cake by
Sugar Alkymi
, as well as edible flowers made of sugar.
The floral design by
Petal By R+S
was a handcrafted love letter to the overall concept of this day, paying tribute to all of the elegant floral details within the dress which is known as a hallmark aesthetic of
Monique Lhuillier

As an added element of romance, harpist
Chiara Capobianco
played a rendition of the couple’s favorite song for their first dance.
