Peter and Diana’s wedding day was one of dreams! Midsummer carried the theme of the day, both as the wedding date and drove the overall style and vibe.  Blush pink and golds took center stage, accented by bright pinks and greens.  The vibe was fun and bright, down to the bubble send off and pink […]
