Congratulations James and Kellie





Such a gorgeous Bride, handsome Groom, and amazing colors! I think that about sums it up, but I’ll still tell you the details. LOL The colors of the day were black and hot pink, and they were all tied in so beautifully! We provided music for the ceremony and reception, so we (Well, I should say “me” because Ferdy isn’t quite so into that stuff as I am) got to see all the little wonderful things they did to make their wedding perfect.

Kellie looked gorgeous in her white satin gown. It had a long train with beautiful embellishments on the bodice and skirt. I loved the bustle. It’s not one that I’ve seen before, but it tucked the skirt up to the waist and kept the smooth line of the skirt. It was very elegant! She carried a bouquet of hot pink roses. The Bridesmaids wore black cocktail length dresses and carried hot pink bouquets as well. They changed into matching fuchsia flip flops for the reception – very cute! James wore a black tux with white shirt, vest, and tie, while his Groomsmen wore black tuxes with white shirts, hot pink vests, and hot pink ties. They all wore hot pink boutonnieres. They all looked so nice!

The ceremony was so beautiful. The chapel had hot pink hyndrangeas on alternating pews, with candles in glass lanterns on the others. Just as the ceremony began, the sky darkened and it started to rain. (You do know it’s considered good luck if it rains on your wedding day, right?) With less light, the chapel was so romantic and intimate. The candles at the altar and on the aisle were glowing. Even the ceremony programs matched the colors. The information was printed on hot pink paper, which was mounted on a black and white damask print paper, with a black bow tied at the top. The programs were very striking and I loved them!

The reception was equally beautiful. The tables had white floor length table cloths with white napkins and white chair covers. The black chair ties and hot pink centerpieces pulled the look together. The table centerpieces featured one main arrangement, with two smaller arrangements on each side. They were a mix of assorted fuchsia flowers (stargazer lilies, roses, and more). They were gorgeous.

The Bride’s cake was a perfect match to the day. It was white, with four square tiers, white scroll designs on each layer and a black ribbon on the bottom of each. There were hot pink roses between each tier, and petals scattered on the table. The Bride and Groom’s initials were on the top. The Groom’s cake was amazing! It was a blue Mustang Saleen: a replica of James’ car. It was done with amazing detail. I couldn’t believe it!

Another cool thing at this reception was the Candy Buffet. It was on layers of fuchsia and black organza, with assorted glass vases that had hot pink and black ribbons around them. There were little bags to take home your treats, and they featured the couple’s names and wedding date on them (in hot pink, of course). I tell you, every little detail of this wedding was so well planned and it was evident.

After dinner, the cake cutting, the toasts, and the special dances, it was time for the party to begin! There were so many adorable little ones at this wedding, and I loved it. It’s so cute to see the kids in their dressy clothes, running around the dance floor. Big dance floor hits with this group were Cha Cha Slide, Play That Funky Music, Single Ladies, Cupid Shuffle, and Baby Got Back. To add to the fun, the photographer had set up a photo area with a backdrop, and he was getting the guests to get silly in front of the camera. The Crazy Booth poses were hysterical and everyone a great time participating as well as watching! We also had a great time with this couple: they’re both so nice and James is too funny!

Finally after the Money Dance and Bouquet and Garter Tosses, it was time for the evening to come to close. The Newlyweds ran through a shower of petals (hot pink, of course) and took off in a limo to their new life together. Congratulations Kellie and James and have fun in Cancun!
