Wedding date: August 12, 2017

Venue: Studio 450

The couple: Alissa and Francesco

Color palette: Rainbow

Inspiration: Alissa, the bride knew exactly what she wanted from a color standpoint. At the very first meeting, she knew she wanted a rainbow wedding. Alissa absolutely loves rainbows and was particular that everything had to reflect a six-color rainbow (no indigo) instead of a seven-color rainbow and should be in the actual order of the rainbow. So, when placing colored votives along the windowsills of the venue or putting placemats on the tables, we made sure everything was in proper ROYGBV order.

Challenge: The tricky part of working with an actual rainbow color palette is making sure that the décor felt elevated and sophisticated and not like a kid's party. Michelle Edgemont did an amazing job creating centerpieces and other décor details that felt fun and vibrant, but not juvenile. And we could not have asked for a better backdrop to make all of the colors pop than the completely white box that is Studio 450.

Wedding date: Oct. 29, 2016

Venue: Assumption Catholic Church and W City Center Hotel

The couple: Peggy and Chris

Color palette: The obvious star color of this wedding is red!

Inspiration; Peggy, the bride, loved red so much that she originally wanted a red wedding dress. When she fell in love with a more traditional dress, she decided she wanted to incorporate her favorite color everywhere else she could that day. It was also a nod to her Chinese heritage, as red is a symbol of good luck and happiness. I’m so in love with her bold shoe choice—such an unexpected pop of color and personality peeking out from under her dress! The florist, Exquisite Designs, did an incredible job of incorporating many shades of red into the bouquets and centerpieces. The bouquets popped so beautifully off Peggy’s dress and the bridesmaids’ dresses. The centerpieces were a stark contrast to the historic, classic ballroom in the W City Center Hotel.
