A Formal Art Deco Wedding at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis, Missouri

Lily Pappas, 28, a music education specialist, and Lars Bjorklund, 28, a senior account manager for Swiss-American Inc. and distributor of cheeses and fine foods, met through the University of Iowa’s dance marathon. A black and gold color palette, with pops of pink, set the foundation for their modern art deco soiree. “We loved the classic look of this color combination and it worked well with both of our venues,” Lily says. “We did not want anything too aesthetically competitive, and we intended for our choices to evoke a classic timelessness.”
