The Reception

After Josephine and Chris’ ceremony, guests then headed to the mother of the bride’s home, a historic house a few blocks away. The yard and patio were filled with tables covered with deep-fuchsia raw-silk runners a friend had bought in India—each was topped with centerpieces of ti leaves and cymbidium orchids in square glass vases. Lanterns dangled from the clear tent overhead, which was set up in case of rain.
