“It’s no secret—especially if you
visit our apartment—that I have
a minor obsession with blue-andwhite export ware,” Julia says.
For the centerpieces, they filled
blue-and-white ceramic vases
with soft floral arrangements of
English garden roses, hydrangeas,
anemones, andromeda and touches
of green foliage. Julia’s bridesmaids
carried loose bouquets of sweet
peas, ranunculus and scabiosa
with hints of red pepper berries.

Pulitzer designed a custom monogram for the couple’s stationery suite.
