The Bride Anne Rettig, 30, a food photographer The Groom John Reese, 29, an artisan cheese maker The Date May 21 Anne and John planned their wedding around their common passion: food. Tributes to their love of all things culinary, combined with a vibrant color palette of watermelon pink and orange (to match the tropical look of their venue), completed their personalized day.

Big, bright pomanders of garden roses decorated some of the ceremony chairs.
Twisted vintage forks held the escort cards—a fun way to play up the food theme.
Anne and John posed for photos with this huge whisk, which also made an interesting décor piece at the cocktail hour.
Anne’s striking bouquet was made of cascading gloriosa lilies, orange ranunculus and green dendrobium orchids.
Bright linens, along with the tropical greenery lining the Palm House, gave the party a hint of the exotic.
John wore bright-orange ranunculus buds to match his tie and pocket square.
