The Reception

Amber describes planning the wedding as exciting, and it was certainly an unusual blend of cultures to mesh into one celebration: Amber's family is Jewish and Fernando's family would be coming from Mexico. The couple was undaunted by the challenge, and chose to express their joy by using lots of vibrant color in their wedding decor. The invitations set the stage with shades of apple green, fuchsia, and orange -- colors that were echoed in the flowers, the table linens, and more. Fernando's aunt pitched in, arriving with a suitcase full of colorful paper flowers and lanterns from Mexico City.
