Kandi & Jordan in Houston, TX

Though they'd been friends as undergrads, it wasn't until three years after college at a mutual friend’s wedding that Kandi and Jordan became something more. The two began dating even though Kandi lived in Dallas and Jordan in Houston. After a year, Kandi moved to a place of her own in Houston, and four months later she received a message by courier -- her first clue in a scavenger hunt. After tracking down roses and a bottle of champagne, Kandi made it back home where she found Jordan waiting on one knee. The Bride Kandace (Kandi) Lambert, now 28 and a healthcare account manager The Groom Jordan Handel, 29 and working in global sales The Date September 30 Guests had been primed for the celebration beginning with the invites, which first introduced Kandi and Jordan's chocolate brown and light blue palette, as well as the monogram logo a graphic designer had created for the couple. I chose the color scheme because I felt those colors were simple and elegant, the bride explains -- the exact look the couple hoped to achieve. They used the hues on everything from the weekend itineraries for the guests to the cocktail napkins.
