Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed put together one of the most charming rehearsal dinners I’ve seen in a long time. What I love about Kathy’s work is that it is always edited, never overdone. Her details are simple and yet thoughtful so that each touch has a purpose. Here’s a bit more from this adorable affair…

From Kathy…
Jon and Jen have clocked thousands of miles globetrotting. In fact Jon popped the question in one of their favorite spots: Siena, Italy. So it was a perfect fit to showcase their love of travel at their rehearsal dinner. The vintage travel theme was introduced through a postcard invitation with scenes from the Napa Valley.

Guests enjoyed cocktails while tasting a variety of olive oils and Mediterranean inspired hors d’oeuvres. They collected their escort card, a vintage luggage tag, and traveled to their table which was named for the couple’s favorite destinations. Vintage map placemats and flowers in copper vases accented the tables where a wood cigar box held a collection of travel photos and trinkets. The event was a perfect kick-off to their journey as a married couple!
