A Citrus Colored Summer Wedding in Kansas City
There's just something about a summer wedding with a citrus color palette. After having to postpone their wedding due to the pandemic, our couple decided rather than passing up on their original design plans- they would pivot! With the help of Rebecca Rose Events they added punchy pops of watermelon to embrace the new summer date, and the result is just as fun and fresh as you would imagine. You can feel the joy and happiness of the day in the incredible imagery by Mike Cassimatis of MNC Photography, head over the full gallery for a sweet taste of summer.
From Rebecca Rose Events... After the pandemic pushed the original wedding date to the fourth of July, we decided that instead of leaving the previously chosen color palette and design aesthetic behind, we would enhance it by adding a punch of watermelon to the mix. July is the perfect month for red sweet peas and coral godetia - two cheerful blooms that helped us transform the palette but keep the integrity of the design we began so many months before.
With a few other subtle changes, such as the addition of tray-passed watermelon lemonade at cocktail hour, and lawn games fit for a proper summer shindig, Annie and Chris’ wedding day captured the essence of July in all the right ways.
It was particularly important to Annie and Chris that they include a handwritten thank you note for each and every guest, so we personalized an envelope for each place setting that served as a place card and included a handwritten note on custom stationery. It was a true labor of love for Annie and Chris to finish all of the notes before the wedding day, but their extra efforts added such a heartfelt touch of hospitality for their guests!
