A Modern, Colorful Wedding at Colony 29 in Palm Springs, California
Sparks flew when Katie LeClerc (29 and an actor on ABC Family’s "Switched at Birth") and Brian Habecost (31 and a producer) met on a movie set. “We instantly hit it off,” Katie says. “We dated for three and a half years before Brian proposed.” The creative couple married in front of 150 guests in the fall at Colony 29 in Palm Springs, California, the day before their five-year anniversary. “That way we keep the same dates,” Katie says. Against the gorgeous natural backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains, Katie and Brian paired bold graphic patterns with bright yellow, coral, pink and ice blue tones, which reflected the event's lively, playful mood. In keeping with the upbeat vibe, the bridal party danced down the aisle before and after the couple exchanged vows. The newlyweds’ love of bike rides and Cards Against Humanity were woven into their invitations, ceremony, reception and place settings. “The party, fun-time atmosphere was the absolute best,” Katie says. The couple kept guests fully entertained when they opened the dance floor with a choreographed routine set to a mash-up of Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson jams. Instead of cutting a cake, Katie and Brian ended the evening with a bountiful dessert table, which satisfied Katie's wide-ranging love of sweets. —Carolyn Meers
