Congratulations Ryan and Crystal


This Ceremony and Reception brought us to one of our favorite places: The Lyceum in Galveston. The colors for this wedding day were black and fuchsia and the room was gorgeous! The tables had floor-length fuchsia satin table cloths, and they were topped with sheer black overlays with scroll designs. The chivari chairs had fuchsia sashes and there were black napkins at each place setting. The centerpieces alternated high/low and had three different styles: tall vases filled with green apples and fuchsia pomander balls on top, low vases filled with green hydrangea and fuchsia roses, and vases that held the bridesmaids bouquets once the ceremony was over. There were candles scattered around each centerpiece. To tie it all in, we had fuchsia uplights beaming up the walls in the ballroom. We were able to turn off almost every light and the room just glowed fuchsia. The room was so elegant!

Crystal was so beautiful in her white strapless gown. It was fitted to the hips with ruching, had a corset back, and a beautiful skirt/train of layer after layer of ruffles. The only embellishment was right at the bust line. Crystal’s hair was up on one side with an embellished comb. She carried a white/light pink bouquet of hydrangea and roses. Her Bridal Party wore black gowns with a halter-style strap. Their hair was up on one side with a fuchsia flower hair pin. They carried bouquets of green hydrangea and fuchsia roses. Ryan looked great in his white tux, vest, shirt, and boutonniere. His Groomsmen wore black tuxes, shirts, and vests with fuchsia ties and boutonnieres.

After dinner, the First Dance, and the parent’s dances, it was time for the toast and cake cutting. Crystal’s cake had three white stacked tiers. The top and bottom tier had black fondant zebra stripes, and the middle tier had just a black fondant band around the middle. It was topped by a fuchsia tow that cascaded down two sides. Ryan’s ‘cake’ was a cookie cake. On the top was a bride dragging a groom away from a large screen TV showing Call of Duty. I guess he likes his video games! LOL

After a Money Dance and a lot more dancing, it was time for the Bouquet and Garter. Then we returned to the dancing. Finally the night came to a close and Ryan and Crystal ran though sparklers and headed off to their new life together. Congratulations to the Newlyweds!!!
