This Reception brought us to South Shore Country Club and their beautiful new ballroom. They remodeled a little over a year ago and the room is now gorgeous! If you haven’t been there in a while, you should check it out. The coordinator, Victoria, is great to work with.
The colors for this wedding were navy blue and yellow and were perfect for spring. The tables had navy crinkle satin floor-length table cloths, and the white satin chair covers had yellow sashes. Each centerpiece consisted of yellow flowers and candles. Instead of table numbers, each table had a postcard from a destination Katie and Justin visited together. They were in yellow blocks with a navy ribbon.
Katie was so pretty in her gown. It was off white, strapless, with a beaded bodice. The simple satin ribbon waist fell to a soft skirt with lacy overlay. It was very elegant and had a vintage feel to it. Her Bridal Party wore blue gowns and carried yellow bouquets, similar to Katie’s. Justin and his guys wore black tuxes with yellow boutonnieres. They looked great!
There were some great, unique ideas at this Reception. For the guestbook, each table put their thumbprint on a matted painting of a tree, and signed their name. The sign next to it said, “Please leaf your thumbprint and sign your name.” (Hmmmm…. I may have to steal this idea for something. I don’t know what, but I loved it!) And the favors were perfect! They were assorted flavors of dehydrated ice cream in packets, just like the astronauts eat. Those were perfect for Newlyweds who work at NASA. Since the Ceremony was held outside, the guests also received personalized fan favors, so they could fan themselves in the warm air.
After the cocktail hour, dinner, and toasts, it was time for the First Dance. Katie and Justin did a bit of a switch-up. They started out with a slow song, and then we played the sound of a record screeching. Then it turned into Forever by Chris Brown. At first the guests didn’t know what was going on, and then they loved it!! After that dance, it was party time! This was another crowd who danced from the first song to the last, which we always love.
And now for the cake cutting – I don’t know what else to say except for the Groom’s cake was amazing!! It was a digital camera. It literally looked like a huge, oversized digital camera. It had the writing on it and everything was edible including the strap. And, there was a photo of Justin and Katie in the LCD screen. Guests couldn’t stop looking at it and taking pictures. Katie didn’t even want to cut it! Justin had to slice into it for the both of them. Katie’s cake was beautiful. It had three, round, stacked white tiers. Each had matching designs and a white band around the bottom. The cake topper was so cute! It had a Lego Bride and Groom, and she was even holding a yellow Lego bouquet.
The Bouquet and Garter tosses were unique and fun. The catchers didn’t have to be single: the Bouquet toss was for all the women in the room and the Garter toss was for all the men. And, the lucky catcher of each also got a gift card. Woo hoo!
Finally the night wound down and Reception came to an end. After their Last Dance, Justin and Katie said farewell to their guests and made their exit in a Town Car. Congratulations and enjoy your Honeymoon cruise!
