For their November nuptials, Nicole and Brian envisioned a monochromatic color palette of white, gray and black. "We wanted the overall feel to be elegant, clean and sophisticated," the bride explains.

The bride's Lazaro gown featured a beaded bodice that hinted at the couple's cool color palette.
