A Garden Wedding of Cream by Kiel Rucker Photography
This private estate wedding was simplistic in that the couple chose shades of off white and cream as its main color. When guests arrived to the reception site, they were greeted by gold using a large mirror with elegant calligraphy for a unique seating chart. Each place setting was elegantly set with gold rimmed china and silverware to match the candle votives. Finally, candlesticks were placed on the lace covered wooden sweetheart table.
