Lindley & Eric

Lindley and Eric’s wedding day dawned with perfect weather; a little warm for us but at least we weren’t dodging storms as we had been for almost everyone other wedding weekend we had prior to this one!

Their personal touches were evident in every aspect of their day which we LOVE to see! They opted for no First Look but did a First Touch and exchanged letters and gifts, all without seeing each other prior to the ceremony. Such sweet, sweet pics of that personal and private time together. And of course, we had to wait to see the pics because that was “their” time together.

Their outdoor ceremony was witnessed by sweet family and friends and was accentuated by live music and a knot tying ceremony. And how amazing is this . . . a live painting of the ceremony that was started during the ceremony and completed and presented to Lindley and Eric later in the evening!

With a backdrop of amazing florals everywhere and equally amazing food, guests danced the night away with a band that really knew how to keep the guests on that dance floor! Instead of shopping ‘til they dropped, they all danced ‘til they dropped! A sparkler exit sent them off in style to their life together as Mr. and Mrs.!

Lauren and Troy

Another amazing wedding in the books! Lauren and Troy’s wedding day dawned with the clearest Fall sky ever. A bit warm for me but at least it wasn’t raining!

It was clear to me from the first time I saw Lauren and Troy together that they were truly meant to be with one another. Their love for each other was evident by just looking at the two of them together.

Lauren is very family-oriented as evidenced by having her family members as her attendants, junior attendants, flower girls and ringbearers. Her cousin was her Matron of Honor and while I missed her toast to the happy couple (taking care of details and was out of earshot) it is clear that those two are extremely close and have been for many, many years. And her entire family, along with simply amazing vendors, worked tirelessly with her to create her vision. It was truly a testament to large, close families who work together to achieve a common goal. Don’t want to get philosophical here but it was really refreshing to see that as families today are sometimes scattered to the ends of the world and lose touch with each other. . . but not in this case.

Many, many small details all came together flawlessly to make their “perfect day.” Lauren said that she wished “it could have never ended” and that is was “literally the best day of my life thus far.” Makes our hearts very happy to hear that!

Florals & food were amazing, as usual; the band (first time we had worked with this one) was stellar and one of the best I’ve ever worked with; the minister was a former bride of mine so that was extra special for me; the venue was spectacular; cake was scrumptious; ceremony music and vocalist were superb; a new photobooth that was really fun and was enjoyed by all the guests; a famous vintage vehicle to transport the bride and groom; and a great videographer who just happened to have gotten married at this venue and photographer – all came together to make one fantastic wedding day for Lauren and Troy!

All the best to a wonderful couple as they begin their new journey as Dr. and Mrs.!
