The wedding of Hilary and Jake was spring sweetness! Fluffy flowers, a manicured garden, and a tower of yumminess! Hilary chose a precious palette of peach, yellow, blush, grey, and white. Moss pomanders and sheer fabric hung in the trees behind the ceremony space and vintage milkglass collections filled the guests tables. As the sun went down, cafe lights strung over the garden created a romantic dreamy atmosphere…

a sweet celebration!
