The reception took place on a boat that cruised down the River Seine in Paris. The incredible scenery was perfectly complemented by the light, summery floral arrangements made up of light pinks, oranges, yellows, and creams. The wedding cake took the color palette to the next level, taking inspiration from the French sunset and incorporating light pinks and purples alongside the warmer tones.
