This summer reception brought us to Pine Forest Country Club, with its dramatic entryway staircase. The coordinator here, Jeanette, is great: she’s worked here for a long time and really knows what she’s doing.
The colors for this wedding were charcoal grey and dark purple. The tables had soft purple/plum pin tuck linens and the chairs had grey satin chair covers. The high/low centerpieces consisted of purple orchids submersed in water, with lights in the bottom. They were surrounded by candles.
Larissa was beautiful in her off white strapless gown. It was fitted to the hips with a softly flared skirt. The asymmetrically wrapped bodice had beaded embellishments and a corset back. The skirt had a pretty draped bustle in the back. Larissa’s hair was in a beautiful updo with small pearls scattered throughout the back. She carried a hand tied bouquet of purple calla lilies. The Bridesmaids each wore pretty floor-length grey satin gown, with a corset back and beaded accents along the bust line. They carried hand tied bouquets of assorted purple flowers. Jonathan and his Groomsmen matched in their black tuxes, grey vests and ties, and purple boutonnieres.
The dancing started off with the Grand March. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a (usually) Czech tradition where two lines of people follow go around the room, do all kinds of neat things, and end up in a big circle. That’s when the Bride and Groom do their First Dance. That was followed by the Father/Daughter Dance and Mother/Son Dance. The toasts and cake cutting followed, then party time!
The cake was a bit different at this wedding. It was Crave cupcakes, and six different flavors sure to please everyone. Then, after the cake was ‘cut’, there was a yogurt bar opened. You could have vanilla or chocolate, then different toppings. To add to the sugar rush, there was also a candy buffet. The guests loved it all!
After a lot of dancing and the bouquet and garter, then night came to a close. Larissa and Jonathan run through sparklers, jumped in to their limo, and headed off to their new life as a married couple. Congratulations!
