The Bride Kate Goldwasser, 27, an attorney The Groom Greg Maurer-Hollaender, 27, works in commercial real estate The Date March 10 Kate and Greg did not have a particular theme in mind, but they wanted the whole feel of their wedding to be traditional, elegant and romantic with modern elements. The color palette was shades of white with lots of silver and crystal accents.

Kate wanted to wear something with sparkle to accent the belt on her dress, so she chose silver Jimmy Choo slingbacks.
Kate carried a round, fluffy bouquet of white peonies.
The ice sculpture was designed to replicate the couple's signature drink.
Kate and Greg only like vanilla cake, so picking the flavor was easy. It was covered with white fondant and sugar flowers and had fresh strawberries in between the layers with buttercream icing.
The huppah was one of Kate's favorite design elements of the wedding. It was made of curly willow, dendrobium orchids and roses. The branches, butterflies and votive candles created a very romantic feel. The top was covered with lace from the veil that her mother wore during her wedding to Kate's father.
Kate and Greg's Hebrew names and wedding date were printed inside the gray suede yarmulkes.
The low centerpieces included floating candles surrounded by flowers and the table number.
Kate and Greg's menus were custom designed using the same logo that appeared on the cocktail napkins, programs and favor labels.
Kate and Greg wanted their guests to leave with something sweet at the end of the night. One of their first trips together was to Paris so they incorporated French macarons from Bonjour Bakery into the wedding. Jenifer Sirkis Designs created the personalized labels.
The flower arrangements were comprised of hydrangeas, roses, Hawaiian dendrobium orchids, sweet pea, cherry blossoms, ranunculuses and French tulips.
The florist helped the couple design the room layout with the head table as the focal point. They used the lampshades to add a modern twist and create different heights on the table.
Reception tables were topped with silver linens and tall white arrangements of orchids, hydrangeas and roses.
Kate's dress was a fit-and-flare style, organza gown from Pronovias.
