The Bride Roshan Felix, 28, a client relations director for The AGA Group in Washington, DC The Groom Alejandro “Ale” Rodriguez, 33, serving in the United States Air Force The Date August 7 Roshan wrote a poem that included the saying “Love is Sweet,” which inspired the theme for the couple’s wedding overlooking Washington, DC. A bright pink and orange palette combined with candy-detailed decor continued the sweet theme.

Monogrammed jars filled with pink and orange jelly beans gave guests a sweet reminder of the evening.
Pink and orange lights washed the huge columns inside the Andrew Mellon Auditorium -- an expansive space with 60-foot ceilings and a gold-gilded enclave where the stage was also lit in the couple’s signature colors.
Smooth, white fondant covered the three-tiered confection and was then decorated in ribbons of pink fondant and orange rock candy accents.
The blooming candy branch centerpieces gave each table a fun focal point.
Roshan’s four bridesmaids wore floor-length pink gowns to match her candy-colored wedding.
The couple’s two flower girls carried white flower pomanders, accented with heart-shaped lollipops and strung onto pink ribbon.
