Cake Inspiration:


The classy combo was evident everywhere from the signature cocktail (a mojito) to the cake (featuring brown stripes, polka dots, and fresh green orchids).

Bridesmaids Bouquet
Picking up on the subtle dot motif, the five bridesmaids wore chocolate brown tea-length dresses by BCBG with gold polka dots and a small ribbon at the waist.

Centerpiece Ideas:

The centerpieces were unique and perfectly complemented the polka-dot color scheme. Some of the tables had bouquets of white flowers set in a cylinder of peas, while others had large pillar candles set in the peas.
Centerpieces of green hydrangeas, roses, and kale in green silk–wrapped vases were interspersed with green apples and key limes in clear glass vases. Off-white votive candles completed the look and added romantic ambience.



Favor Ideas:

In keeping with the fall theme, Sylvia and Jimmy gave guests caramel-dipped Granny Smith apples. Each apple was wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with either a brown or green satin ribbon.

A main attraction was the table displaying green apple candles, which acted as place card holders -- Rita cut leaves from green paper which were printed with each guests’ name and table number.
Guests helped themselves to tea pyramid favors, which had been arranged on a separate table set with orange crinkle linens.
