FRENCH RIVIERA BLACK TIE AFFAIR!
THE VISION
Imagine being in the south of France on a late summer's day. The cool ocean breeze making its way up to the charming cliffside villages. The florals, a feast for the eyes, as if painted by Claude Monet himself. We beautifully blend modern simplicity with the rich historic tones of the past and join together at Wadsworth Mansion to celebrate the union of Kaylyn and Joe.
