“The couple agreed that they wanted a modern, simple non-wedding. ‘Our overall goal was to have a rocking party. It was important for us to move away from tradition and just have a great time with friends and family. Having a more casual event with a certain level of sophistication was the way we wanted to go.’

“…the color palette was  a chic mix of white, orange, slate gray, and curry tones; the flowers were sleek and architectural and fit with the surrounding grounds; and the reception was designed to look like a Moroccan nightclub.

“‘Everyone, even our grandparents, was out on the dance floor. It felt more like a really great party than a wedding.’”
