Location: The Colonnade Hotel, Boston, MA
Knot Pick
The bridesmaids carried deep-colored bouquets of peonies, while Zoe went for a softer one of sweet peas, lamb’s ears and calla lilies.
Carolina wore purple satin Kate Spade sling-back heels with a mod bow, and Zoe accessorized with gold patent-leather heels.
The custom invitations included details in English, Spanish and Hebrew.
The invitation was held together with a plum and purple floral belly band.
The couple made their own program booklets, which they tied together with purple and black ribbon.
Zoe (right) wore a fitted gown with a crumb-catcher top, while Carolina opted for a fuller skirt and beaded embellishments.
A six-foot-tall display of curly willow covered with orchids and amaranthus was the focal point of the escort card table.
Chairs along the aisle were decorated with tiny monstera leaves, vanda and amaranthus orchids.
Tall vases filled with curly willow and orchids gave the tables an exotic look.
A mix of sugar flowers and fresh orchids decorated the white-on-white cake.
The Bride Carolina Ventura, 28, an attorney
The Bride Zoe Rosenbaum, 28, an internal medicine resident at Yale-New Haven Hospital
The Date June 6
 
Zoe and Carolina incorporated their diverse backgrounds into their wedding style. Think: a salsa and merengue band, Caribbean-influenced cuisine, lush Latin hues like purple and deep red, and trilingual invitations.
