The Bold
To incorporate the bold hues throughout their wedding design, lush rose-colored and fuschia blooms spruced up the outdoor ceremony and were incorporated into a wow-worthy hanging installation above the head table during their reception. Colorful roses and peonies weren’t just seen in the floral arrangements either—this playful floral theme was also used in the couple’s wedding-day signage, such as ceremony programs, invitations, menu cards, and more.
The Sentimental
To really add some personalization, Jess and Jay also had a subtle nod to their dog, Frankie—thanks to their hot-pink champagne bottle escort wall, complete with a neon sign of the newlyweds’ last name. The La Marca champagne bottles, featuring an illustration of Frankie, doubled as favors.
More Wedding-Day Details
As for the couple’s wedding-day menu, a cocktail hour consisted of signature drinks: Hers, a margarita topped with peony stirrers, and His an Old Fashion topped with Netflix’s “Tiger King”-themed stirrers. After cocktail hour, dinner began with a citrus salad and was followed by the main course of filet mignon and crab cakes. To end the night, a two-tiered fondant frosted chocolate cake adorned with pink and purple florals (naturally) was served.
