Congratulations Vinh and Julie

What a gorgeous reception!! This one was held in the ballroom of the Magnolia Hotel, which has such interesting character in the room (and I mean that in a good way). Julie and Vinh added to the decor with their own touches to make the room look amazing! There were 1000 Origami cranes (folded by Vinh and Julie) hanging behind the cake table, there were white lights hanging with them, and we had two white uplights accenting them. Then, we had six amber uplights on the walls of the room. To top that, there were white, sage, and pink paper lanterns hanging above the dance floor. The whole ballroom was elegant and incredible!

The colors of the wedding were sage and ivory, with pink floral accents. Julie wore a gorgeous ivory strapless gown with pickups on the skirt. She carried a white and pink bouquet. Her Bridesmaids wore sage green gowns and carried pink bouquets. (The flowers were beautiful and I found out that Vinh’s sister did them all. She is so talented!) Vinh wore a black tux with a white boutonniere and his Groomsmen wore matching attire.

The tables featured ivory table cloths with tall vase centerpieces holding tall white calla lilies. At the base of each were votive candles and small vases featuring pink floating flowers. All the tables in the cocktail area had pink hydrangeas scattered around, to match.

The cake was gorgeous. It had four, round, white, stacked tiers, each with a different design. There was a sage ribbon at the bottom of each tier, and it was accented with flowers. The topper consisted of matching flowers. The table was decorated to match with scattered pink and sage flowers.

We knew this was going to be a real party for a few reasons. When we introduced Julie and Vinh in to I Gotta Feeling, the guests went wild. Then, when Vinh introduced the slide show, the guests went wild again. And, when the slide show was over, there was a standing ovation. This group was ready to party from the minute they arrived! (Oh, and a shout out to Vinh, who made the slide show. It was probably the best one we’ve ever seen!)

After the cake cutting, toasts, First Dance, and Father/Daughter Dance, the party was on. As we predicted, they dance from the first song to the last. And, not just danced, but DANCED! They were wild, all over the floor, getting crazy and having a blast! Julie and Vinh said they wanted a total party, with mostly hip-hop, top dance hits, and songs like that, and I see why.

After the bouquet and garter tosses, and LOT more dancing, the night wound down and it was time for the reception to end. Everyone had a great time and wished the Newlyweds their best. Congratulations Vinh and Julie and enjoy Italy!
