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 Radleigh + Sage Event Co .

I’ll be honest, we’ve been flitting and fluttering between the poetic images for this butterfly wedding inspiration for long enough that some might call it selfish… Of course, it’s Radleigh + Sage Event Co. we have to thank for all of these details and more. Serving up lush blooms nested in clusters of fresh berries (in addition to all the other design moments), they clearly know a thing or two about moody romance. And we’d follow them to the ends of the earth in search of it!

Set at the Westgate Hotel in San Diego, the venue was built in 1970 as a peerlessly chic recreation of France’s legendary Palace of Versailles. There’s a special European ambiance conjured by the French antiques, tapestries, crystal chandeliers, and exquisite carpets. The color palette is unexpected and refreshing with a rich velvet blue and pastel pink, purple, yellow, and orange. There’s a lovely balance between refined elegance and fun with playful touches like the asymmetrical cake, the classic white tux, the large draping florals, and the mint tulle wedding gown. We absolutely adore these bold and romantic pairings!

It has been a year of change, growth, realisation, and acceptance for many people. Co-Founders, Ray & Simon Benitez-Barrett from RADLEIGH + SAGE EVENT COMPANY felt passionately that the wedding industry needed more transgender inclusion and representation which was the driving force behind this vision. "Gay and lesbian marriage has grown with acceptance exponentially through the years, but the narrative for the transgender community still needs to be heard, and even more so, normalised," said Ray, Creative Director of this labour of love. "Every detail from the dress, the suit, the hair, the tablescape, the cake, and more, was selected with intention. It was important that every element meant something." Ray continues.

Ray of Radleigh+Sage Event Company explains, “Not everyone has the opportunity to design a grandiose production for their special day, but with the right ideas and vision anyone can create a beautifully tailored environment that will give off a wow-factor!”

“You have to remember that the wedding is about you, and not anybody else.” At one point during planning the couple remembered checking in with each other to make sure they were doing this for themselves and not everyone else who was giving them input. “You have to do what is going to make the day memorable and special for you. Do not lose focus on the real reasons why you are doing this. It all has to be out of love.” Simon weighed in once again: “Hire a wedding coordinator. Hire them months before!”

Ray and Simon then had an epiphany. For years, they have had a yearning to start a business of sorts but struggled to commit to one absolute idea. That night, however, the idea became very clear. The two decided they wanted to start an Event Company allowing them to coordinate celebrations and events for various occasions such as weddings, corporate functions, community events… the list goes on. Their natural social personalities and love for hosting and coordinating are the perfect pairing for this industry. And through their excitement, something struck a chord and tugged on their heartstrings.
