Unlike the ceremony whose decor was whimsical and romantic, the couple wanted the reception to be more vibrant.“We wanted the ceremony, (which was held on the hotel’s 4th floor) to be formal, and then as soon as you walk down the staircase to the reception, we wanted the whole mood to flip,” Carter told PEOPLE.“The flowers are changing from white to vibrant with pinks, purples, reds, with a lot of sparkle and shine in the room. We wanted the reception to feel like a New Year’s Eve party.”

Instead, they had four different tapas-style stations with Italian, Asian stir fry, burgers and tacos so guests can pick and choose.“We’re not doing a seated dinner with over 200 people,“Carter told PEOPLE. “We wanted to make sure that we have time to see everybody. And a seated dinner really can take away from being able to talk to everybody.”
