Congratulations Keith and Laura


This afternoon wedding reception was the second one for this Bride and Groom. They got married a week earlier in her home state of Kansas, and it was a full, traditional ceremony and reception. This reception was for their friends and family in Texas. Can you imagine how much more relaxed the Newlyweds were at this one? Another added bonus is: Laura got to wear her wedding dress again!

The reception was held at the South Shore Harbour Country Club, which has a beautiful view of the golf course from the wall of windows in the ballroom. The colors of the day were white and blue. The white chair covers had blue chair ties, and the centerpieces were pretty, alternating high/low arrangements of white roses and other flowers, surrounded by candles. Each place setting had a customized white bookmark with Keith and Laura’s names printed in blue. The room was very pretty!

One unusual aspect of this wedding was the Groom’s cake. Instead of a traditional cake, he had mini, custom made cheesecakes, with strawberry sauce to drizzle over the tops. How fun, and who doesn’t love cheesecake?

Finally it was time to dance! Laura, the beautiful bride, got to dance her first Chicken Dance. Welcome to Texas! (I wonder if she thought we were all crazy?) This crowd loved the fun, interactive songs, like Macarena, YMCA, Cha Cha Slide, and Twist and Shout. Sometimes there’s not a lot of dancing at a reception when it’s still light outside, but not this one. I must mention the cutest little girl that was dancing all night. She was three years old and the best dancer ever! She’d follow along with every song, copying everyone’s dance moves. I tell you, that little girl and her bright green painted toenails was just too adorable!

The evening came to a close and Keith and Laura stayed until the end to see their guests off. Congratulations (again) to the Newlyweds!
