1 The high school sweethearts were married beneath a floral arch decked out in white blooms and greenery. “I wanted ivory flowers in every aspect of my wedding!” Katie says. 2 A cameo brooch belonging to her grandma was Katie’s “something old” and “something borrowed.” 3 Formal black script on ivory paper hinted at the day’s traditional feel. 4 The groomsmen sported matching bracelets—gifts from the bride and groom.

5 A heartfelt thank-you card from Katie and Tom was tucked into the linen napkins at each place setting. 6 White-chocolate-covered pretzels, licorice, cookies and more made up the candy bar that Katie describes as “a huge hit.” 7 “We wanted to get married in a beautiful, historic building that really wowed our guests when they walked in,” says Katie. Her elegant fit-and-flare gown with layers of ivory organza was the perfect complement to the stylish setting. In floor-length charcoal dresses, her six bridesmaids looked equally sophisticated.

8 Where did Katie and Tom find inspiration for their elegant cake? Pinterest, of course! The star of the ivory buttercream cake was the giant sugar flower that spanned the middle two tiers. 9 With their monogram projected behind them, the newlyweds shared their first dance to “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz. 9
