[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Pink, citrus, yellow, green, blue [/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Design and vibe was a mountain chic summer citrus pallet that Kirsten and her mom worked closely with their wedding planner Courtney Rolovich to come up with- lots of bright colored florals to pop mixed with blue linens to highlight the gorgeous natural mountain setting of Lake Tahoe. [/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Austin and Kirsten are high school sweethearts and have been together for 11 years. After doing long distance on opposite sides of the country for college (Kirsten in CA and Austin in DC) they moved to NYC to be together.

Austin proposed on the beach in south Florida where they have been spent lots of time visiting throughout their relationship. It was just the two of them and they spent the weekend celebrating privately together before Austin surprised Kirsten with a party back in New York with all their friends and family![/field]

Mix of long and round tables with a mix of linens / style of flower arrangements for an interesting look.
