Drawing inspiration from the movie Rio2, today's bright and beautiful soirée has me feeling so absolutely inspired, you guys! From the vivid colors, to the fun and festive tropical vibe, there really is so much inspiration here and I'm just thrilled to bits to have the chance to share these colorful wedding ideas today!

Captured beautifully by Elizabeth Henson Photos, and with event design by Raise The Ruth Events LLC, make no mistake about it m'dears — you're in for a real treat with this colorful fête.

Things to be on the lookout for include: gorgeous and exquisite florals by Leslie Hartig Floral Design, lush jungle greenery, and a modern boho-inspired wedding cake with geometric patterns and a moss covered cake plate.
