SCENARIO NO. 2: BLACK-TIE EXTRAVAGANZA IN THE HAMPTONS
“For an outdoor wedding you need centerpieces with impressive vertical scale because of all the open space, even if you’re in a tent. We used orchids, roses, and hydrangea because they don’t easily wilt in warm weather. And the cake? It was inspired by the classic picnic basket.”
—Preston Bailey and Sylvia Weinstock
