What a gorgeous ceremony and reception! They were both held in the Veranda Room of the Alden Hotel, and the room was beautifully decorated. There were large white Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The room pillars were draped in white sheer organza, highlighted with soft uplights. The colors of the wedding were lime/citrus green and white, so there were green floor length tablecloths on all the tables, surrounded by white garden chairs. The centerpieces alternated high/low, and consisted of white roses and calla lilies. There were also candles on the tables surrounding the centerpieces. For a trendy touch, there were a few seating areas in the room (off white couches around small cocktail tables with centerpieces.) It all added up to make a beautiful, elegant wedding.
Jeff and Doranne added some unique aspect to their reception. There was a gobo projecting their initials onto the wall. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, they had wedding pies. They had a large pie to cut and feed each other; and then individual 3” pies of assorted flavors for the guests. How fun!
The Bride and Groom liked classic rock, so we played plenty of that. Sweet Home Alabama was a big hit. Commonly requested favorites such as Play That Funky Music, Can’t Touch This, and Brickhouse also got the dance floor rocking. Some new hits also went over well. It seems that this was a fun crowd that liked to dance!
Oh, and how can I forget Doranne’s dress? It was so beautiful! It was a slim fit with a trumpet flared hem. But the really unique part was the lace racer back. I’ve never seen that before and it really was stunning! And yes, Jeff, you looked quite handsome as well. :-)
Finally, after tons of fun, talking, and dancing, the newlyweds left for their honeymoon. Congratulations Jeff and Doranne!
