Congratulations Gabe and Lauren



This was a big, beautiful, elegant Reception!  With so many guests in attendance (over 300) we knew it was going to be fun.  But, with the ivory, champagne and coral color scheme, it was equally as elegant.  The tables had ivory floor-length cloths with taupe ribbon taffeta overlays.  The chairs had ivory covers with taupe satin ties.  The centerpieces consisted of three matching styles: tall candelabras, tall vases with flowers or short vases with flowers.  All the flowers were white and coral with purple accents.

After Gabe and Lauren arrived and had their First Dance, the Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances followed.  Then the guests enjoyed a delicious meal before the cake cutting.  Lauren’s elegant cake had four round stacked white tiers, with a cascade of beautiful orange and purple flowers down the front.  Gabe’s chocolate cake had the LSU emblem on it in white, purple and gold. 

After the cake cutting it was party time.  This group wanted to party, and they did!  A big shout out goes to Gabe, who did a hand stand on the dance floor, and Lauren, who's also got the moves.  She even did the splits on the dance floor!  We also saw the Worm, the Robot, Gangnam Style, and every other dance move you could imagine. What a blast!  Glow sticks being passed out to the dancers also helped keep the party going strong.

The dance floor was full until we stopped for the Bouquet and Garter, and then everyone kept dancing until the end.  The Newlyweds ran though a shower of rose petals, got into a gorgeous antique Rolls Royce and left to their new life together.  Congratulations Gabe and Lauren!
