Congratulations JD and Krystal

While the rainy weather forced this ceremony inside, it didn’t take away from the happiness of the day.  The theme for the wedding was rustic/country with burgundy and fall colors and it was beautiful!  The ceremony backdrop featured two vintage wood doors accented by amber uplights.  Behind the doors were bales of hay with lanterns, fall flowers and pumpkins on them.  The aisle décor alternated between shepherd’s hooks with flowers and lanterns.  The unity sand ceremony was set up on a wine barrel.  The details in this wedding all tied together perfectly.

The theme was carried through the reception, with the cakes on wine barrels and our amber uplights around the room.   Our two-foot marquee LOVE letters were on a ladder on the stage – they looked awesome!  There was also a mason jar chandelier over the dance floor.  Even the toasting glasses and cake knife matched, decorated with burlap and lace.  The guest book was planks of wood painted brown and accented by a heart with the couple’s initials.  The guests signed the boards with white paint markers.  The favors consisted of packets of sunflower seeds in a vintage wheel barrow.  The dinner tables had floor-length burgundy table cloths and burlap and lace runners.  The centerpieces alternated between three styles: floral arrangements on wood slices, lanterns, and floral arrangements in boxes.  Around the centerpieces were mini pumpkins, mason jars with candles and small vases with fall colored flowers.   You could tell the couple put a lot of work into making sure everything matched and they did a great job!  I also can’t forget Krystal’s something blue: her blue boots.  So cute!

Krystal’s four-tiered, stacked cake was beautiful.  Alternating tiers had burlap ribbon around them while mini pumpkins and a wood cake stand added accents.  The cake topper had a bride and groom with a horse – perfect for horse-loving Krystal.  JDs cake was incredible.  It was a military tank, for the time he served in the military.  The guests spent their time either dancing or taking fun photos in our photo booth.  The champagne sequined backdrop was the perfect color for the wedding.  When the night ended, everyone lined up to blow bubbles as the newlyweds made their exit.  Congratulations JD and Krystal!

Congratulations Thomas and Ofelia

This Marine/Fire Fighter wedding was amazing!  The ceremony was to be held outdoors, but the cold weather forced it inside.  That didn’t bother the couple a bit and the indoor ceremony was still beautiful.    Thomas was handsome in his Marine dress blues while Ofelia wore a tea length, lace dress with blue satin shoes.  The bridal party wore an assortment of royal blue dresses while the groomsmen wore black tuxes with royal blue ties.  There was a dog there, wearing a Marine dress blues-type outfit.  I don’t know what his role in the wedding was, but he was so cute!  Ofelia and Thomas’ fire fighter friends lined the aisle as they headed to the altar and then the fire fighters stood across the back of the room.   When it was time for their exit from the ceremony, the couple went outside to make an exit with a fire engine!  How many times do you see that at a wedding?  During the fire truck exit, the guests waved maracas, which were on the ceremony chairs. 

The color for this wedding was royal blue, and it was tied in perfectly.  The tables had floor-length white cloths and royal blue satin runners.  The centerpieces had white flowers in vases, with royal blue ribbons tied around them.  Those flowers matched the ceremony aisle décor: white flowers tied with royal blue ribbon.  For the guestbook, there was a wood board with the Ofelia and Thomas’ names and wedding date on it.  Guests signed in white or gold marker and the newlyweds can hang it in their home.  For favors, there were bags filled with Hershey kisses and a tag that said, “Love is sweet.” 

Ofelia’s 3-tiered white, stacked wedding cake was so pretty.  The tiers all had natural frosting lines, and there were white flowers accenting the tiers and making up the topper.  Thomas’ groom’s cakes were awesome!  One had the Marine’s logo on it and the other had the fire fighter logo on top, with red and yellow frosting ‘fire’ going up the sides.  When cutting the groom’s cakes, Thomas jokingly brought out an axe before they cut the cakes with his Marine sword.  There were also two stands of cookies on the table, and the guests loved those as well.

For another way to keep the guests entertained, we had our photo booth (with a royal blue backdrop, of course).  They all had fun in there!  When the reception ended, the newlyweds exited into the hotel’s car and headed off.  Congratulations Thomas and Cecilia!

Congratulations James and Hannah

This wedding ceremony and reception, with the colors of forest green, champagne and gold was very elegant.  The tables had champagne/gold floor-length table cloths and each place setting had a thank you note from the newlyweds.  There were a variety of centerpieces: lanterns, vases with floating candles, potted plants, and more.  They were all surrounded by votive candles and they came together perfectly. 

The ceremony was held inside due to the weather, but it was still beautiful.  With the glass windows making up the backdrop, it was gorgeous.  After the ceremony, the wedding party went out to take photos while the guests enjoyed the popcorn bar.  There were four varieties of popcorn and custom boxes that said “thanks for poppin’ by.”  Cute!

Hannah’s two-tiered, stacked, white cake was pretty in its simplicity.  It had natural frosting lines and was topped with fresh flowers.   James’ cake was something we had never seen before: it was tiers of stacked, large cookies, from 12” on the bottom to around 8” at the top.  Fresh flowers made up the topper.  Basically, it was a stacked cookie wedding cake!  There was frosting between each cookie layer and the guests loved it.  

When it came to dancing, this crowd was fun!  From the first song to the last, it was non-stop.  They were singing along, jumping up and down, you name it.  At one point, a spontaneous Conga line broke out!  There was a guest on the dance floor with a GoPro and I bet he got some hilarious footage!

There were a lot of details at this wedding that I really liked.  Instead of a child being the flower girl, it was a grown woman, tossing petals out of a basket.  How fun!  Near the bar, there were Hangover Kits in small bags.  They held Advil, gum, a bottle of water and other items.  We haven’t seen that before and it’s a great idea.  For the favors, the guests got small Texas-shaped wood ornaments.  They were customized with James and Hannah’s names and the wedding date.  Those favors were perfect for the guests, as most of them were from Nebraska.

When it came time to end the night, the newlyweds stayed to say farewell to their guests before leaving.  Congratulations James and Hannah!
