Many couples feel compelled to base their color palette on the season of their wedding. But don't think that just because you're getting married during a certain season that you must follow the norms for color. This shoot, which took place in April, is a prime example! Base your wedding on what you love, rather than what you feel pressured to do.

The rich color palette of whisper pinks and dusky plums were oh-so-rich against the crisp white walls and clean lines at Ashton Hill Farm. Playful swiss dot linens created a lighthearted and playful look and added a fun twist to the modern elegance of the table settings and floral centerpiece.
