nspired by a pair of shiny pink Cinderella slippers she found while on vacation in Paris, Laura Romanow wanted to celebrate her love for groom Justin and express their upbeat personalities at their wedding. Bouquets and blossoms of hot pink and yellow Gerber daisies and bright orange tiger lilies-the bride and groom’s favorite flowers-covered every surface in The Brooks Museum. The dining room of The Brushmark became a pink ice cream parlor. Anyone with a sweet tooth could step up to the counter and order a hand dipped waffle cone of vanilla, lemon or
chocolate ice cream and top it to taste. A fuchsia and tangerine taffeta canopy covered a spectacular outdoor ballroom, and a nightclub-inspired lounge and cigar bar. As the band played hits, friends and family danced in the blushing light or chatted as they rested on mod white leather sofas in the lounge. As the newlyweds finally made their exit, they were showered with popcorn. The pink, yellow and orange candy-glazed popcorn served as both earth-friendly confetti and a delicious, color-coordinated late night snack.
“The wedding was based on my personality which is bubbly and laid back.”
