Contemporary Wedding Pastels

White walls. White drapes. No problem. A large white “box” of a room can easily be transformed into a beautiful wedding reception. Just add some design, flowers & dramatic uplighting. With so much natural light coming into the room, the specialty lighting gradually becomes more dramatic as the sun goes down… and party gets going!

Clustered trios of flowers in clear glass vases with three elevated floating candles. Romantic floral accents throughout the reception.

The Bridesmaids’ bouquets were an eclectic collection of soft pastel colors and intriguing textures.
