Celebrate we will: Beauty and whimsy mix at this joyful Clifton occasion

Classic and elegant, with a celebratory spirit. That’s how the bride describes the direction in which she and her now-husband wanted to take their wedding.

“There’s a quote I love,” says Jacqui. “‘Until further notice, celebrate everything!’ That really embodies how Aaron and I are. We love to celebrate the small, spontaneous joys the world gives you.”

For the couple, that translated to a mix of serious (like the classic black suits and bowties on the groom and groomsmen) and silly (like the invitations with bags of confetti stitched to them). “That was the sentiment we were going for,” Jacqui says. “Sheer joy and delight!”

A soft color palette added allure. Ballet pink bridesmaids’ dresses and strawberry table linens and seat cushions coordinated with bouquets of café au lait dahlias, ranunculus and Russian olive.

But, for all the thought put into each element, the bride’s favorite detail wasn’t a detail at all.

“Seeing Aaron have a wonderful time throughout the weekend with friends and family was the most memorable experience for me,” she says. “And seeing him at the other end of the aisle as I walked down it is something I think about almost every day.”
