Based on their casual, colorful wedding—a backyard Chicago bash that moved from the couple's home to their favorite craft beer company, Revolution Brewing—you could safely guess that Kate and Clinton are a pretty cool couple. The fact that this fête was inspired by their speak-easy-like attire? Well, that's just icing on the cake, err, cupcakes.

The bride's bouquet was made of roses—from the palest pink to coral and berry-like fuchsia—that were tied with satin and lace ribbons. A red-and-yellow striped bow tie popped against the groom's tan suit.

Paper circles in shades of pink were strung with twine and tied to the couple's ceremony backdrop. A gauzy pink BHLDN gown and the groom's oxblood boots and bowler hat inspired the couple's wedding theme.

The bride's engagement ring was purchased at BHLDN, but the wedding band Clinton slipped on her finger August 5 is a family heirloom, the bride says. The groom's suit was custom made by DeLouice.
