[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Retro mixed with elevated summer camp on the lake – Sunny yellows, orange tones, and playful pinks, mixed with botanical and checkerboard patterns, gave the design a one-of-a-kind look that played with luxury and comfort. We also wove in small Disney Easter eggs throughout the design, as the couple watched three Disney movies together on their first date.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

At their welcome party, inspired by a summer garden, guests enjoyed passed hors d’ouevres that included pork belly bao buns, chicken and waffle sliders, and crab cakes; a Mediterranean station and a mezze station. At the wedding cocktail hour, guests noshed on raw and roasted seasonal Vegetables, and several passed appetizers, including pork skewers, smoked briskets with jam, chicken satay, caprese bocconcini, bagel spice gougeres, and tuna tartar. Their signature cocktail and mocktail, called “The Moon” and “The Stars,” a nod to their favorite saying, were inspired by a Raspberry Smash. For dinner, guests dined on panzanella salad and chose between braised short rib with port reduction, miso-glazed sea bass, or sweet corn risotto.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Starting with the welcome party, the weekend was dubbed a “botanical wonderland” by the father of the bride. Inspired by a summer garden, the welcome party flowers were bright red, yellow, and orange, and incorporated heirloom tomatoes and vegetables. At the wedding, Peri and Jason exchanged handwritten vows under a stunning chuppah bursting with vibrant flowers in sunny yellows, an array of pinks, and warm oranges. Long tables were dressed in patterned linens and paired with cane-back chairs, grounding the space in texture. Florals spilled across tabletops in joyful shades of marigold, coral, pink, and soft green, echoing the garden-inspired palette woven throughout the weekend. Colored taper candles and glassware added depth without feeling overly formal.

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

The sweetheart cake was two tiers of cake: vanilla cake with lemon curd and chocolate cake with coffee buttercream and vanilla buttercream exterior. The simple design incorporated hand-sculpted flowers in the wedding’s color palette and a miniature hand-sculpted replica of their dog, Lun, hiding among the flowers.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

At the ceremony, the groom entered while a string quartet performed “Concerning Hobbits.” The wedding party entered to “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish, and the bride’s entrance was “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” by Elvis Presley. For the recessional, the quartet performed “Marry You” by Bruno Mars. At the wedding reception, the bride and groom entered to “Love on Top” by Beyoncé, and their first dance was “XO” by Beyoncé. As another Disney nod, the Father-Daughter dance was “You’ll Be in My Heart” by Phil Collins, while the Mother-Son dance was “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack.
