This reception took place at the Petroleum Club downtown, which has an amazing view! And, the coordinators there are amazing: you’re in great hands. The colors for this wedding were orange, pink, and green. (Well, Tennessee orange, to be exact. Adam is a huge Tennessee Vols fan so that color had to be included.)
The tables were covered in floor-length pink tablecloths, and the white chair covers had orange ties. The centerpieces consisted of tall vases with river rocks on the bottom, orange rocks above them, and a beautiful orchid on top. They were surrounded by pink, orange, and green votive candles.
Powana was gorgeous her strapless gown. It had a two-tiered skirt, with breaded/lacey accents. She had a long veil with lace accents on the edge and the combination was beautiful. She carried a bouquet of green orchids. Powana’s Bridesmaids wore long gowns of emerald green satin and carried bouquets of orange and pink flowers. Adam was handsome in his black tux, white vest and white tie. His Groomsmen wore black tuxes and black vests, with green ties. Before entering the reception, they changed into orange ties, to honor Tennessee. (Funny thing: Adam loves Tennessee so much that he had us make an announcement that nobody was to tell him the score of the game because was TIVOing at home and didn’t want it ruined.)
Powana and Adam did their first dance after their introduction, and then it was on to dinner. After dinner, it was cake cutting time. The Bride’s cake had three stacked white tiers, the top and bottom one had icing dots on them. A pink satin ribbon band encircled the bottom of each layer. There were gorgeous green orchids that matched Powana’s bouquet, trailing down the tiers. The cake topper featured a Bride in her gown and a Groom in the Marine Dress Blues. Adam’s cake had a Bride and Groom driving away from their wedding on a motorcycle. Very cute!
The toasts came next, and I must comment on one of the toasts. Powana’s father did a speech, and while it was probably the longest one we’ve ever seen (15 minutes or so) it was also one of the funniest, most heartfelt, and loving as well. You could see how much this father and daughter love each other. Her dad was also genuine in his welcoming Adam to the family. Next came the Father/Daughter dance and the Mother/Son dance, and then it was party time!
After the Bouquet Toss and Garter Removal & Toss, and plenty more dancing, the night wound down to an end. Adam and Powana ran through a shower of rose petals and headed off to their new life together. Congratulations and enjoy your Tennessee (where else?) honeymoon!!
