One of the best things about today’s featured wedding is that from the elegance and refinement of the ceremony, the couple REALLY had fun with the reception, infusing their personality into every detail.

From the fabulous candy bar, to the cigar station…every detail is thoughtfully designed and executed. And yet the entire affair is forever elegant, forever chic. Personality without sacrificing style.

This wedding is stunning. Bottom line. Although I am not usually a huge fan of purple (thanks to my BFF Katie who loved purple so much when we were kids, I honestly thought she would wear a purple wedding dress)…but this, well, this is purple perfection.
