Veil and white flowers in the garden

A garden wedding, with the ceremony and the party in the same place: a colonial tiled roof, white drapes at the altar, white chairs and an aisle of hydrangeas. The procession came before the bride, with the wedding party arm in arm, flower girls in white with petal baskets and the rings carried in an open palm.

The bride walked in wearing a ball gown with puffed sleeves, and the groom waited in a white suit and green tie. Midway through the ceremony, the two of them sang into the microphone. Then came the bridesmaids in green holding lit lanterns, the groomsmen in beige, the white cake with orchids and the couple's initials, and the portraits under the veil, after dark, in the garden.
