The Vision and Planning

Kara and Jade envisioned a day that blended classic elegance, modern sophistication, and a hint of playful charm. Their neutral palette of clean whites, ivory, and soft baby blues tied every element together seamlessly, creating an atmosphere of serene refinement. Inspired by the idea of a modern garden party, the couple broke tradition by forgoing a wedding party and instead invited all their guests to dress in varying shades of blue, ensuring everyone felt like part of the celebration.
