The Centerpieces

Traditional flower arrangements would have looked too dainty in comparison to the lush grounds, Elyssa says. Instead, they placed palm leaves in huge vases surrounded by hot pink orchids. The florist brought more color to the tables by dyeing the flower water deep turquoise and bright pink, while the pale blue tablecloths were made of the same fabric used to make guayaberas, the traditional Cuban men's shirts.
