Karen Kaiser and Nicolas Kern's Upstate New York Wedding
Photo: Fionn Reilly1/20I turned to Maureen Meyer to custom design our wedding invitations. I love the logo she created and how it shows the alliteration in my new last name, Kaiser-Kern. She really set the tone for our wedding website and programs to follow suit.

They are not only beautiful, trusted friends but both also brought just the right amount of humor when needed to lighten the mood. And I cannot leave out my incredibly talented and lovely colorist David Adams to complete my beauty team.

I wore the incredible Berbère ear cuff in rose gold with pave diamonds and two rings from the Antifer collection also in rose gold with full pave diamonds.
