David originally planned on having a 
winter wedding decked out in white, silver and gray. When they changed their date 
to early spring, they ditched pinecones 
for fuchsia orchids.

Ruffles wrapped around 
the bottom of each square tier, while fresh orchids 
and hydrangeas cascaded down the side of the cake.
Lauren carried a round, 
all-white bouquet of roses and dendrobium orchids.
Tall arrangements of roses, orchids, stock and branches added height and drama 
to the spacious room.
Lauren added Swarovski crystals to her gown 
for extra sparkle, while 
the bridesmaids wore various styles of gray 
and silver dresses.
Modern Lily Centerpieces
Sleek, monobotanical arrangements of all-white flowers, from roses and hydrangeas to cymbidium orchids and calla lilies, decorated the entrance 
to the reception.
It was David’s idea to 
use branches for the huppah at their indoor ceremony. They were intertwined and accented with pearl blossoms and dendrobium orchids.
The white-frosted escort cards were printed in 
a silver font and backed 
with charcoal paper.
The bridesmaids held compact bouquets of white roses and bright magenta dendrobium orchids.
