THEIR STORYBRIDE Rachel Jansen, 32, a regional sales director at Neuberger Berman GROOM Jason Delevante, 34, an account executive at Relationship Science HOW THEY MET At work WEDDING STYLE Clean lines and a simple design gave a contemporary edge to Rachel and Jason’s modern-yet-traditional nuptials. —LL

“I found a cake online I really liked that featured a links design, and from there, our planner had a great idea to incorporate that design into the linens and pillows to tie it all together,” Rachel says. “We also decided to use the linens as an opportunity for pops of color, so we placed the link-designed fabric in fuchsia overlaid on a gray-purple tone fabric with touches of lavender.”

“My junior bridesmaid, flower girl and I shopped for their dresses together—I let them choose their style and we picked the color,” Rachel says. “As a gift for the junior bridesmaid, I bought crystal hair pins that I gave to her with a note that said this could be her ‘something old’ when she gets married, which she loved.”

“The majority of the centerpieces were small and shorter votives filled with flowers to allow for conversation and passing of the family-style meal,” Rachel explains. “We also had a small lounge

with rattan sofas and chairs lined with pillows in the links fabric with small votive candles.”
