The theme of Bennifer’s wedding was white as all the guests and the bride-groom donned all-white outfits. A grand white marquee was set up on the estate with white chairs and tables.
A grand all-white piano was also placed in the same. The wedding ground also had a platform for a fireworks display and elegant tables set up on a riverfront dock.
