This timeless style will translate almost anywhere but it plays perfectly in a sophisticated inner-city locale.

The details:
Start with a white or neutral base paired with a pastel or metallic accent: think blush pink, soft sage, Tiffany blue or muted gold. And black and white? It’s always right at a classic celebration. Opt for round or long tables adorned with pillar candles, and pile on plenty of garden roses and vintage crystal.
The wedding of Sarah + Billy
Invite a string quartet to provide the soundtrack and keep most formalities by the book (a sumptuous bridal table, after-dinner speeches and a romantic first dance are a must) while still leaving breathing room for your own personal touches. Consider a receiving line to greet and thank your loved ones, especially with a lengthy guest list. Cap off your unforgettable evening with a crowd-pleasing finale fit for royalty – a fireworks display!
