The ceremony was followed by a cocktail reception hosted in an outdoor tent from advanced tent rental (part of the event rental group). The sides of the tent were left open to allow for ample natural light. The wedding RSVP cards designed by palettera custom correspondences were beautifully displayed as artwork over the escort table. Unbeknownst to guests, the back of each card functioned like a puzzle piece and when assembled together, formed a floral illustration incorporating details that spoke to the couple’s favourite pastimes. Every returned card was assembled and mounted between plexiglass, so the responses and intricate floral illustration were both visible. The art piece now hangs in the couple’s New York City home. Guests relaxed on white leather couches that were paired with sleek tables from contemporary furniture rentals inc. A turquoise blue carpet from reznick carpets added to the tranquil yet incredibly modern and chic feel of the space. An oversized arrangement of cherry blossom branches was placed behind the bar and gave guests a taste of the decor to come at the reception. www.wedl u xe.com 159
