This sunny ceremony and reception took place at The Admiral. The ceremony was outside on the patio, which overlooks Clear Lake, and the reception was in the ballroom. The colors for the day were turquoise, teal, navy, and white. They were perfect for a wedding on the water.
The ballroom décor was gorgeous! The tables had white table cloths with turquoise overlays. The high centerpieces consisted of tall white vases filled with white feathers. They were so cool! The low centerpieces consisted of white roses. The chairs had white satin covers with turquoise ties. There were menu cards at each place setting, printed in blue ink, which matched the ceremony programs. The navy napkins tied in with the whole theme. Each guest received a pretty blue gel votive candle with sand and seashells in the bottom. To top it off, there were white and turquoise Japanese lanterns hanging from the ceiling. It was all perfect for a sunny water-view wedding!
Erica was beautiful in her strapless, ivory, fitted gown. It had beaded accents on the bodice with a long train that ended up in a French bustle. Her veil had beaded accents on the edge, which matched her gown. She carried a bouquet of white roses with white feather accents, hand tied with a white ribbon. Erica’s Bridesmaids wore turquoise knee length dresses and carried matching bouquets. Each wore a pretty turquoise feather accent in her hair. After the ceremony, Erica removed her veil and put on a matching white feather hair pin. Kenny and his Groomsmen wore black tuxes, and while his had a white vest and tie, the Groomsmen wore turquoise vests and ties.
After an Italian dinner, the special dances, and guests enjoying an attended coffee bar, it was time for the champagne toast and the cake cutting. The Bride’s cake was beautiful: 3 white, stacked tiers, with an occasional diagonal stripe of navy, turquoise, or teal. There was a simple white rose accent on each layer, with their last name initial on the top. It was really unique and I loved it. Kenny’s cake was amazing! It was a redfish (I think) with a tackle box, and it looked real. Following the toasts and cake cutting, it was party time! This crowd wanted all types of music from Rat Pack to Punk to Rock to 80’s to Hip Hop, and they danced to it all. How fun!
I can’t forget to send a big thanks to the Matron of Honor Kelly and her husband Joey. We did their ceremony and reception four years ago and they recommended us to Erica and Kenny. And, they now have a beautiful little girl in addition to their son. Thanks for the referral!
Finally the night wound down and Erica and Kenny ran through a shower of bubbles to their car. Then, off to their newlywed life and a tour of the California coast. Congratulations!
