The Bride Austin Hickman, 25, a graphic designer at KAHickman Architects and Interior Designers The Groom Steven Reinlie, 26, a chiropractor at Next Level Chiropractic and Rehab The Date March 24 As a graphic designer, Austin has a love of art. She and Steven decided on watercolor as the overarching vision for their wedding, with soft, dreamy colors like sherbet, gold, seafoam, lavender and gray setting a light, feminine tone for the day.

One of the flower girls carried a Here Comes the Bride canvas banner designed by Austin.
Guests' names and table numbers were written on paint chips from a hardware store and displayed in a watercolor-like collage.
Each tier of the cake had its own funky design, but the pastel colors helped tie it all together.
Steven wore ranunculus and dusty miller wrapped in gold ribbon on his suit's lapel.
Ombré flower petals lined the aisle at the waterfront ceremony. Vintage chairs mixed in with the folding chairs added character.
The bridesmaids carried soft spring flowers, like peonies, tulips, ranunculus and roses, tied with ruffled pink ribbon.
The Ceremony Chairs
Austin and her father built this stunning altar together. They adorned it with lush flowers, and it became the focal point of the ceremony.
A huge watercolor painting, with fresh blooms in vibrant colors, decorated the dance floor area.
All of the wedding colors were represented in the flowers, table numbers and votive candles, creating the watercolor-inspired look the couple wanted.
The bride selected dresses in shades of gold and gray that matched each of her eight maids' personalities.
