From Couture Events:Bright and beautiful, this couple wanted a wedding filled with color. We used citrus (peaches, oranges, lemons), florals and succulents to bring their vision to life. Our favorite details included the moss and succulent escort card wall glowing with candles and the citrus we used in and around the arrangements and down the aisle to create a fresh style and look. Another favorite was the ombre macaroon favors — we love the idea of doing a favor that your guests can eat and enjoy, that is colorful and fun and adds a beautiful aesthetic to the tablescape.
