The Bride Elizabeth (Lizz) Dailey, 27, a global health policy and advocacy program associate at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation The Groom Adam Norikane, 37, an agriculture foreign service officer at United States Agency for International Development (USAID) The Date September 10 Feeling inspired by the in-season flowers, Lizz and Adam planned a bright wedding. The overall vibe they were going for was rustic and natural yet still simple and elegant.

Lizz's dad helped out with the display by converting an old window into the escort card backdrop. The bride then went on to print guests's names on labels and stick them to pretty wrapping paper.
Lizz carried a bright bouquet of red, pink and yellow flowers along with various herbs for aroma.
The bridesmaids carried bright bunches similar to Lizz's bouquet.
