There’s nothing like a wedding reception with an amazing view, and this one had it. We were at the Petroleum Club downtown, which has windows on three sides of the ballroom. It’s so cool to look out over almost all of Houston! (Oh, and if you're considering the club for your wedding reception, know ahead of time that their coordinators Jeremi and Mai, as well as the staff, are all excellent.)
But, back to the wedding. The colors were black and gold; and the colors of the ballroom’s carpet and chairs matched perfectly. The tables featured floor length black tablecloths and were accented with alternating high/low centerpieces with simple white flowers and white candles. It made for a very elegant and classic feel.
Jennifer looked gorgeous in her slim, off white, strapless gown. For her headpiece, she wore a delicate, thin headband with tiny white flowers. I loved the bridesmaid’s gowns! They were made of a beautiful gold/champagne color, and the strapless bodice featured a black lace overlay with gold sash. The guys wore black tuxes with vests to match the ladies dresses. It all tied together beautifully.
The newlyweds came in and immediately went in to their First Dance. After a welcome to the guests by the Father of the Bride, and a blessing by the Father of the Groom, dinner began. Then, after the toasts and the cake cutting, it was time for ice cream! Derrick and Jennifer cut only a small mini cake for pictures, and had Marble Slab serve ice cream to the guests. The guests got to choose the flavor of ice cream and toppings they wanted. That was a huge hit!
This was another wedding with a lot of dancers. From the first song to the last, the dance floor was packed. And the Petroleum Club has a really big dance floor. You should have seen them jumping up and down and singing along to “Shout”. What a blast! This crowd danced to everything, from Pop to Oldies to Hip Hop to Disco to Country to Rat Pack.
When it was time for the bouquet and garter, we couldn’t believe how many single ladies and men were in the crowd. Usually you see 5-10 people out there for the bouquet or garter toss, but last night there must have been at least 20 for each.
Finally, after tons of fun, dancing (and I mean nonstop dancing!!), and ice cream, it was time for the Newlyweds to leave. They ran through a shower of rose petals and off to their new life together. Congratulations and have fun on your Caribbean cruise!
