The Reception

The ballroom featured an arbor to enhance Rachel and Jacob's garden theme. The couple's white, pale green, and blue five-tiered cake was displayed beneath the arbor. Green-and-white floral print overlays and blue-, green-, and brown-striped overlays adorned the tables. Rachel's mother embroidered the napkins with monograms and botanical images. The centerpieces incorporated cream and white flowers with natural elements, like bird's nests, tortoise shells, birdbaths, and robin's eggs, and varied from table to table.
