For the wedding party’s look, the gals’ bouquets were intended to stand out, so dresses were neutral and crowns subtle.

Rather than create a carbon copy of another wedding, pick and choose elements from various sources that are “you," says Elizabeth (Liz) Mitchell Kadar, who wed Kenny Kadar October 9, 2015 at Legare Waring House.

"I actually had two crowns done," says Liz, "a simple one for the ceremony and a big, bold party crown for the reception."

“The problem with most floral arbors,” says Liz, “is that the flowers are too ‘perfect.’ Mimic how you find them in nature, which is a little bit wild and unruly.”

"I had no idea that my bouquet looked like a heart," says Liz, "until one of my friends pointed it out in a photo…kind of perfect though."
