The focal point of Karen’s custom-made dress was an oval, tribal-style collar, studded with glass, metal, cloth, and wood beads. So they’d look their best (and maybe even wear their dresses again!), Karen let her bridesmaids choose their own gowns in either watermelon or coral, to unify the styles.

Karen’s bridesmaids carried pink and yellow rose bouquets, which really popped against the coral and watermelon dresses, a fitting choice for the summer soiree.

The escort-card envelopes contained two pieces: a card with guests’ table numbers and another with a blueprint of the reception floor plan. The blueprint cards were illustrated by Rick’s architect brother and helped guests easily find their table in the large space.

Martinis were served from a tall ice luge in the shape of the letter “W,” the couple’s new shared monogram. The addition really spruced up the cocktail hour.

The tented reception felt more natural with greenery decorating the ceiling. A white-tiled dance floor kept the space looking airy and crisp.

The long head table was decorated end-to-end with flowers, each arrangement of a different type: stock, roses, gerbera daisies, and peonies. They alternated between white, red, orange, and shades of pink.

The reception band, Mel Ball & Colours, performed The Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes off of You” for Karen and Rick’s first dance as a married couple. The band had guests dancing for 30 minutes before dinner -- and then out of their chairs for the rest of the night.
