Kara & David in Washington, DC

The Bride Kara Heitz, 30 The Groom David Sylvester, 26 The Date July 23 A visual riot of hot pink, red, and bright orange, Kara and David’s wedding was inspired by their midsummer wedding date, and yes, a Miami Vice marathon. The result: spectacular wedding eye candy at every turn, from tropical arrangements to the red fabric–draped after-party lounge.
