I got chatting to the bride all about their day. Enjoy…
“We started planning this shin-dig a year ago, and our initial goals were to have a fancy but fun party– a celebration that was filled with our closest friends and family. We wanted the whole thing to be a reflection of us. For instance, our food consisted of 4 sections: German, American, Italian, and Asian-Fusion. Bratwurst, soft pretzels, sliders, bruschetta, and chinese take-out boxes just to name a few items. We wanted it to all be on small-bite side, so people could run to the bar, run to get food, and then go back to dancing, mingling, etc.”
“I’m an artist, graphic designer, and photographer, and all of that ended up heavily influencing our decisions. After our engagement shoot, CMYK theme sort-of emerged based on the day’s attire. JP’s color was cyan, mine was hot-pink, and a mustard yellow was for everybody. I had some crazy notion to have thistle mixed in with the bouquets and bouts, so our florist went with CMYK with pink peonies, blue thistle, and yellow billy buttons, all mixed with local wildflowers.”
