Congratulations Rick and Jessica

This wedding ceremony and reception brought us to Bay Oaks Country Club, one of our favorite venues. A wall of windows, great food, great service, and a great Private
Events Director, Julie, are part of the reasons why. The colors for this wedding were black, white and red. The tables had black floor-length cloths, and the chairs had black satin chair covers with red bead-embellished ties. The centerpieces had tall vases with lights inside, with red roses on top. They were surrounded by red petals and votive candles on the tables. To really accent the room and the colors, we had four red uplights along the wall of windows, which ran behind the cake table. It was all very dramatic and elegant.

Jessica was so pretty in her strapless white gown. She carried a bouquet of red and white roses with a black satin ribbon tied handle. Her Maid of Honor wore a black floor-length dress and carried a similar bouquet. Rick and his Groomsmen wore black tuxes with red vests and white boutonnieres. They all looked great!

The ceremony was held outside, and the weather was perfect. That seems to be unusual for Texas, so we’re glad that this couple had such beautiful weather. After the ceremony, guests came inside for the cocktail hour and dinner. (We provided music for both the ceremony and reception.) After a delicious dinner and a champagne toast, it was time to cut the cake. It was so pretty! It had three stacked tiers with an additional elevated top tier. Each tier was white with different white designs on it, and there were edible red roses cascading down the side. The topper was pretty: it was Jessica and Rick’s initials accented with red rhinestone accents. Then came the first dance, and it was party time! These guests were fun – but it was obvious that country was their favorite genre of music. This wedding was a smaller group than is typical, and it was really nice. It allowed the Bride and Groom to spend a lot of time talking and having fun with their friends and family.

One fun aspect of this wedding was the kids – they were everywhere and I love kids. There were just so many little ones, and since they tend to love to play on the dance floor, they have a way getting the dancing started. And this group of kids never seemed to run out of energy: they partied from beginning to end!

After the Money Dance, the Bouquet and Garter, and more dancing the night finally came to a close. Rick and Jessica bid farewell to their guests and left for their new life as a married couple. Congratulations Rick and Jessica!
