Silk-organza overlay with pearl-studded patches from Ruth Fischl, ruthfischl.com.

Beautiful Bouquet
The choice of ranunculus framed with a delicate sweet-pea collar in this Biedermeier bouquet was inspired by the tulle tufts and sequins on the bride’s Monique Lhuillier gown.

Colorful Cookies
Softly muted pastel colors allow exquisite details to stand out in all of the wedding elements—stationery, flowers, even the food.
