Congratulations Fred and Ritchie

This reception was a celebration for a couple who married eight years ago, but wanted a traditional church wedding mass and reception. The whole day was beautiful! The colors were apple green and brown. The chairs had apple green chair
covers and the centerpieces consisted of hurricane lamps over apple green taper candles.

Ritchie was gorgeous in her white strapless gown. It had beaded embellishments on the bodice and almost had a lace type look on the skirt. She wore a lace bolero jacket over top, which she removed later for dancing. She had her hair in a up do with a pretty embelished hairpiece. Ritchie carried a beautiful bouquet of pale green and white hydrangeas and roses. The Maid of Honor wore a brown strapless, floor-length gown, and carried a bouquet of green hydrangeas and roses. The women Sponsors wore apple green floor-length gowns with matching bolero jackets and carried bouquets similar to the Maid of Honor’s. The Flower Girls were so cute in their apple green dresses with brown sashes. Fred was very handsome in a black tux, white vest and tie, and white boutonniere. His Best Man, as well as the male Sponsors, wore green vests and ties with their black tuxes. The Bible, Ring and Cord bearers were so cute in white tuxes.

After the toasts it was time for the cake cutting. The cake was beautiful! It had four, round, stacked, white tiers, each with a brown scroll design running around each, and there were apple green colored flowers on the top and each layer. After the bouquet and garter (the bouquet catcher’s victory dance was so funny!), it was time to party! This group loved it all from Oldies to Line Dances to Swing to Hip Hop to Eighties to everything in between. They were on the dance floor from the first song to the last.

After two straight hours of dancing, the night came to a close and the happy couple made their exit. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness!
