This wedding is filled with warmth, vibrant colors, and fun details inspired by a Kate Spade vacation tote.

Colorful Nuptials:

Each of the groomsmen wore cufflinks that matched each of their interests or lifestyles. The bride wore a stunning diamond white mermaid gown, and her wedding bouquet was a colorful selection of cream roses and radiant orchids.
Dynamic Details:
The couple paid great attention to their wedding day details. The ceremony chairs were wrapped with fuchsia-colored chevron sashes embellished with orange roses. The couple’s wedding program was a fun magazine-style publication filled with details about the couple, their adorable son, and their wedding party.
Rocking Reception:
When wedding guests arrived at the cocktail reception, they were greeted by silver sequin tables donned with fuchsia posies in mercury glass holders – The escort cards were multicolored polka dots (similar to the inside of a Kate Spade bag), and dinner reception was filled with colorful, classic details that will look amazing to viewers for years to come.
