[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Katie and Brad share a love of unexpected pairings of bold, adventurous color, and the palette is a reflection of their sensibilities through and through. We leaned into a spectrum of color including orange, reds, pinks, and also utilized rich green. To balance all of the bright colors, we also used some classic black and white in thoughtful ways. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]When Katie and Brad first approached us about planning and designing their wedding, we immediately bonded over Katie’s mood board she had prepared. It was full of bright colors, rich and moody candlelit motifs, and eclectic pairings of textures and shapes. It was the very best kind of design challenge and our mission was to bring her vision to life in a way that was elegant, refined, and still every bit as bold and unexpected as the mood board she presented at the outset. Katie is an avid gardeners, so fresh flowers were incredibly important and we had such fun finding ways to incorporate some of her favorite blooms in unexpected ways. [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]In a nod to vintage fashion, Katie chose a beautiful Viktor & Rolf gown that made such a beautiful statement with the simplicity of its silhouette. [/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]In planning an intentionally intimate wedding with under 40 guests, the cadence and sophistication of the dinner party were of the utmost importance. Guests enjoyed a beautiful five-course plated meal that included an appetizer trio of salmon tartare cucumber slice topped with balsamic caviar, petite prosciutto chicken roulade with honey belle chevre and fig jam, mushroom and gruyere tartlet with balsamic glaze, followed by a second course of arugula and spinach salad, a third course with sesame crusted tuna, followed by herb crusted beef tenderloin, and a dessert course of wedding cake. The meal was decadent, and wonderfully paced to incorporate ample time for conversation, laughter, toasting, and set to the ambiance of candlelight and live jazz music.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]If there is one word we would use to describe the overall approach to decor it would be: crescendo! Upon arrival, guests were seated for the ceremony where gold urns with white hydrangea and dogwood branches flanked the ‘altar’ space. Katie carried a bouquet of delicate feverfew daisies, and her bridesmaid carried a simple bouquet of white lilac.
After cocktail hour, everyone transitioned down a hallway to dinner in which they witnessed the full color palette develop and take shape through an ombre progression of color. The hallway was lined with thousands of carnation stems, arranged from lighter champagne and blush hues to resplendent pinks, reds, and wine tones before the hallway opened up into the dinner room where all of the colors sang together in an elegant candlelit display of dinner tables.
Katie shared with us that in her own home, she loves to arrange flowers by single floral type in each vase, so we adopted the same approach, filling the table centers with clusters of flowers arranged by type and color. Floral elements included everything from peonies to tulips, hellebores, garden roses, ranunculus, stock, and sweet peas.
In addition to the traditional dinner centerpieces and expected arrangements, guests enjoyed a few surprises to delight the senses, including edible pansy garnishes in tray-passed champagne, and a colorful explosion of floral elements to highlight the cake display. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The wonderfully talented team at local bakery, Louie and Honey’s Kitchen, created a small cake adorned with edible pansies that made for the perfect addition to the reception space. Two cake flavors were offered to guests, including brown sugar cake with salted caramel buttercream and blackberry lemon cake with muscovado buttercream.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Instead of a traditional guest book, Katie surprised Brad with a vinyl record of favorite songs, and guests were encouraged to sign the jacket. It was such a fitting surprise for a groom who loves music and has an extensive collection of vinyl. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]The artwork on the stationery suite served to give guests a taste of what they would experience at the wedding. It was a joy to incorporate two of Katie’s favorite flowers – daisies and pansies – via original watercolor artwork. A silk black ribbon tied the invitation components together with a tag to denote the attire would be black tie. [/field]
