[field title=”Wedding Colors”]It was really important to me not to have “wedding colors”. I love color and different saturations of color, so I wanted to capture colors through the drinks (Aperol spritz) and the flowers. Which looked like a farmers’ market, all color everywhere. Same with the bridesmaids’ dresses. I wanted a mix of different colors, textures, patterns and saturation.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]We wanted the wedding to feel very European, but more of a mix illustrating all the traveling we have done together. Our first trip together was to London, we walked to Regency Park and I admired the rose gardens, so I wanted the flowers to feel like an English Garden. And for the drinks, we spent time in the Amalfi Coast and sipped on Aperol Spritz all day long. Another trip we took was to Provence in France, we spent many dinners outside under trees surrounded by olive trees and flowers. We wanted to recreate it all!

[field title=”Proposal Story”]We love taking weekend trips upstate to get ourselves out of the city. One town in particular we love is Hudson, NY. On our first time in the adorable cabin we rented, we got ready for dinner and while I was calling us a car, Lach stood behind, dropped to a knee and said “you may want to hold on that, I think we have some other calls to make”. I cried instantly and don’t remember much past that, I was in shock. We went to the most beautiful dinner at The Marker and drank champagne and danced the night away.

[section title=”The Fashion”]
[field title=”Wedding Gown”]The Bride wore the “Soleil Gown” by Monique Lhuillier. She was never drawn to an overly traditional gown. She wanted something that “felt like me”. From the delicate floral accents and romantic draping to the high fashion high slit, that dress was always the one. She loved everything about it. [/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]The bridesmaids wore A mix of V.Chapman, Staud and Love Shack Fancy to mirror the colorful ethereal vibe of the day. The bride didn’t want the girls to feel like they were in “bridesmaids” dresses, she “wanted them to feel fabulous”.

[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]The groom (P Johnson – an Australian designer. ) and his groomsmen all wore black tuxes to fit the formal attire of the wedding. [/field]

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]Kelley and Lachlan wanted to combine traditional American cuisine with Australian cuisine (for the Groom and his Family/friends) and pops of Italian inspired cuisine because of their love of the Amalfi Coast. Fresh From the Kitchen took their vision and made it more than they could have imagined.
Fresh from the kitchen had a Oyster Raw Bar at cocktail hour to complement the stunning Aperol Spritz table. The Aperol spritz table was a focal point of the cocktail hour and was used to showcase their love of the Drink and travels to Italy.
The Signature cocktails were from their current home and love of New York, The East and West village.
Thie plated dinner consisted of
Rosemary and Garlic Lamb with fingerling potatoes, Parmesan crusted halibut with Wild Mushroom Risotto, and Butternut Squash Ravioli.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]From Haleigh with Flora by Haleigh. As soon as I saw a picture of Kelly in her dress, I knew exactly what she was envisioning for their wedding. It was soft, romantic, classic- and completely flirty. I wanted to play into these themes while designing floral and the color palette. Kelly knew exactly what she wanted. She loved a growing purple aisle paired with a soft pink Altar. She wanted olive branches overflowing from the urns. We wanted the tables to feel like a cohesive afterthought, almost like we had gathered all the floral in a field just before dinner. The family’s estate and their love for the south of France were both truly an inspiration![/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The bride and groom chose a white wedding cake adorned with dried flowers to match the ceremony flowers. They wedding party took an individual photo of each of them before the ceremony, before they saw each other, and the design team placed it on the cake for them to see when they cut the cake. [/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Her brother Stephen was the officiant.
The Bride walked down the aisle to Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams. Here is why she chose that song.
We took our first trip together upstate to the Catskills, renting a cute cabin in the woods, it felt like something Taylor Swift would like a love baland to. This was the first trip we said “I love you” I remember crying because I hadn’t said those words to someone that I cared about as much as I cared about him before. Driving around in the woods, we listened Taylor Swift and sang along to “Wildest Dreams” looking around at the leaves and him by my side, I thought “I want to walk down the aisle to this song” because this moment was perfect. On the day of our wedding the moment the string quartet hit the notes of the song, my heart fluttered. As I walked down the aisle, my father squeezed my hand and told me not to cry, I was so happy seeing Lach at the end of the aisle waiting for me. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine that this love would be mine.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]The wedding was held at the recently renovated home of the Bride’s parents. Bill and Susan Roach.
On April 13th, 2024, Kelley Roach and Lachlan Travers married each other at a French-inspired home in Paradise Valley, AZ. The bride was fortunate to have her wedding in a home that holds a special story. Purchased by her parents and completely renovated/decorated by her mother, Susan, the estate was meticulously prepared for the wedding. From the interior design to the landscaping, Susan ensured every detail was perfect. Enter Kelley, a talented interior designer from New York, who took the already beautiful home and transformed it into a vision of her wildest dreams. The wedding featured a curved aisle adorned with vibrant florals and a European-inspired table set for 110 guests, creating a scene straight out of a French countryside fairy tale.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Instead of the traditional champagne welcome or water table, the guests were greeted by a display of ice-cold Topo Chicos. Another favorite of the couple. The bride’s nephews greeted the guests, opened the bottles for them and then ushered them to the ceremony site. [/field]
