Congratulations Frank and Gladys









This reception brought us to the J.W. Marriott on Westheimer. The interior is modern and beautiful and the coordinator we worked with, Beverly, was excellent. But, let’s talk about the Bride and Groom.

Gladys was so beautiful in her strapless white beaded gown with full pick-up skirt. She carried red roses. Her Bridesmaids wore floor-length dark red gowns and carried smaller red rose bouquets. Frank was handsome in his black tux with red boutonniere, and his
Groomsmen matched.

To match the colors of the day, the tables were covered in white floor length cloths, with red rose centerpieces. The chairs had white satin chair covers with red ties. And the cake, wow, it was beautiful! It featured four white tiers, each with different designs, and red roses between each tier. The topper consisted of red roses. Instead of a Groom’s cake, there was a chocolate fountain, which was definitely enjoyed. To add to the ambiance of the room, there were eight red uplights along the walls. They make such a difference in a room!

After a delicious sit down meal, it was time for the toast and cake cutting. The First Dance: what can I say. It was awesome! Frank and Gladys choreographed an eight minute dance, like some you might have seen on the internet. They started with a slow song, went into some great fun dance songs like YMCA, Apache, Ice Ice Baby, and others, then ended it up with the slow song again. It was fantastic and the guests went crazy clapping, laughing, and singing along! Following that were the Father//Daughter and Mother/Son dances, and the party was on. This group was fun! They danced to everything from Line Dances to Waltzes to Hip Hop to Eighties to everything else.

At one point, cousins of the Bride sang “From This Moment” dedicated to the Newlyweds. It was really sweet and you could tell it meant a lot to Gladys and Frank. After that, and the Bouquet and Garter, it was back to the party. This couple said they wanted the reception to be a big party, and they got it. It was so much fun, the guests were dancing, and a great time was had by all.

Congratulations Frank and Gladys!
