Real Wedding Sneak Peek: Kathryn and Ryan

Last weekend our awesome team at Weddings by StarDust had the pleasure of executing a gorgeous, romantic wedding for a wonderful couple, Kathryn and Ryan. We had so much fun planning their beautiful event. Here are a few quick pics to hint at the fabulousness that abounded:

Lush blush and ivory flowers (from the talented team at Fete des Fleurs) filled the elegant space of the Tower at CityPlace, complementing the stunning draping and linens.
