There are so many ways you could design a really beautiful, modern reception at Amuse Restaurant at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. This week, though, it’s all about fun. A short modern dress. Maybe a smile booth? Jonathan Adler salt and pepper shakers as cake toppers. Bright yellow pomanders. And a sleek cocktail party for, oh, about 150.*

Sweet ways to accessorize this event in Richmond…

Jenny Yoo “Bacall” bridesmaid dresses from Bella Bridesmaid

Yellow macarons from Petites Bouchees
