Congratulations Clay and Kassie


This Wedding Ceremony and Reception were held at a unique location – The Music Hall at the House of Blues. Talk about an eclectic décor and awesome treat for the guests! The Ceremony took place on the stage, while the guests were seated in the Mezzanine, and the Reception was on the dance floor/lower seating area. The colors for this day were black and green. The tables had black cloths with green overlays. The centerpieces consisted of three hand painted bottles with assorted patterns. They were really cool and matched the style of the House of Blues. Kassie’s mom painted them – she is talented!

The ceremony was so beautiful. They had a black curtain backdrop with colored designs projected on it. The sides of the aisle had green petals and tall white damask print vases with candles. There were two tall floral vases at the beginning of the aisle, and tall, white, up lit gem trees at the back of the altar area. Add in the blue lights that made the whole area glow, and it was gorgeous.

Kassie was so pretty in her white, strapless gown. It had a sweetheart back, and the most incredible skirt with pick ups and rosettes. The bodice had an embellished front with asymmetrical wrap waist. The fitted gown flared right above the knees into a beautiful skirt and train. Kassie carried a hand-tied bouquet of green flowers. Her Bridal Party wore black, fitted, short dresses, and carried similar, but smaller bouquets. Clay was so handsome in his Marine Dress Blues. His Groomsmen all wore black tuxes, vests, and ties.

After the Ceremony and the cocktail hour, the couple was introduced in and went right to the First Dance, Father/Daughter/Mother/Daughter (Kassie danced with her mom as well), and Mother/Son dances. Following dinner came the toasts and cake cutting. The cake was made by one of the Bridesmaids and she did a great job! It had five, square, white, stacked tiers. Each had a green ribbon at the bottom and white decorative designs. There were a few green floral accents on each layer as well as on the top. The whole cake was sitting on low vases with candles. Clay and Kassie cut the cake with his sword, of course. Then it was Bananas Foster for everyone, a photo booth opened, and party time!

These guests loved to dance to all types of music. We stopped dancing for the Money Dance and the Bouquet and Garter tosses, but quickly got back to the dancing each time. When the night wound down to a close, Kassie and Clay ran though bubbles and jumped into their car. Congratulations to you both!!
