The guys wore cream spray roses with metallic bows.
Platinum and pewter ink decorated the bold, modern invitations.
Lush all-white bridesmaid bouquets tied with silver ribbon fit with the classic-meets-glam look of the day.
Clusters of cream roses filled vintage glass vases at the head table.
Krista carried a textured bouquet of white and cream spray roses and ruffled tulips.
The couple chose Faithfully by Journey as their first dance song.
Silver chiavari chairs were covered with airy tulle.
Tall candelabras topped with lush roses and strung with crystals welcomed guests to the ceremony space.
A row of crystal candelabras created a romantic yet contemporary vibe.
