Congratulations Matt and Cerissa


This reception again took us to one of our favorite venues: Bay Oaks Country Club. The colors of the wedding were white and pool/light aqua. The tables had floor length white table cloths with white napkins. The chair covers were white satin with pool-colored ties. The centerpieces were a high/low combination. The tall ones had very tall vases with tall curly willow, white orchids, and white and blue hydrangea. They had blue lights submersed in the water and sparkling bead accents hanging from the curly willow. They were very elegant and dramatic and I loved them! The low centerpieces also had blue lights in them, with white floating hydrangeas. They were the perfect colors for spring and it was all so beautiful. To tie it all together, we had four blue uplights along the main wall behind the sweetheart and cake tables. It was so pretty.

Cerissa was gorgeous in her white strapless gown with all-over beading, and her slim beaded headband was the perfect accent to her gown. She carried a bouquet of red roses tied with a white handkerchief (I imagine it had special meaning and was her something old). The Bridesmaids wore pool gowns with teal shawls, and the Maid of Honor wore a teal gown with a pool shawl. The gowns were strapless satin with a small train in the back. They all carried bouquets of blue and white hydrangeas. Matt looked handsome, of course, in his black tuxedo, silver vest and tie, and red boutonniere. His Groomsmen wore similar attire but with black vests and ties with white boutonnieres. The whole Bridal Party looked great!

After a very sweet first dance, it was time to get the dance floor open. This group was a lot of fun, dancing to everything from oldies to pop to line dances to slow to everything else. Like I said, they were a lot of fun. After a bit, it was time for the toasts, and only a few tears were shed. :-) Then, cake cutting! The Bride’s cake featured four white, stacked, square tiers with white alternating designs on each layer and red roses on top. The Groom’s cake was Speed Racer’s Mach V. It was awesome!

Sadly, the night had to come to an end. Matt and Cerissa ran through a shower of rose petals, jumped into their limousine and headed off to their new life together. Congratulations to the Newlyweds!
