What better way to celebrate a marriage than on New Year’s Eve? This fun reception took place down on The Strand, a great place for a party. As you can tell by the pictures, the Brandon in this wedding is the famous baseball player Brandon Backe. He and Dana are a great couple together, very nice, and such fun!
The colors for this wedding were black, red, and white, and they were perfect for a glamorous New Year’s Eve affair! The tables had black table cloths, and the centerpieces were tall vases filled with red sunken roses and red floating candles. They were surrounded by more red candles and red rose petals. Each guest received a custom champagne glass, with Brandon and Dana’s names and red hearts, for a favor. Very appropriate for the midnight toast!
Dana’s gown was gorgeous: white strapless, fitted to the hips, beaded embellishments, with an elegant train that bustled. Her hair was in low back bun, with red roses tucked in it. She wore amazing red and white rhinestone jewelry and red satin shoes. Very chic! To coordinate the look, Dana carried a bouquet of hand tied red roses with crystal accents. The Bridesmaids also had a very dramatic look for this wedding. They wore black, fitted, strapless, knee-length gowns, with their hair up as well. They wore pearl necklaces with red roses on one side, and sexy red high heels. The Flower Girls complemented the Bridesmaids with their red dresses. Brandon was handsome in his black tux, red shirt and tie, and white vest. His Groomsmen wore black as well, but with white shirts and red ties. The while group looked great!
After dinner, we were on to the cake cutting. The cake had four stacked, heart –shaped, white tiers, each with tiny black dot accents. There were red roses cascading down one side and a black “B” on the top. After the cake cutting, it was time for the special dances. Dana danced with her mother, and then Brandon danced with his. The Bouquet toss and Garter Removal and Toss followed, then party time!
This group was ready to dance from the very first song! Country, Oldies, Eighties, Hip Hop, Line Dances, it was all good! And we must say that Dana and Brandon are great dancers as well, and that always encourages the guests to join in. It was so funny when they ended up having a ‘dance off’ with each of them trying to outdo the other. Dana went down on the splits, and then Brandon followed! It was hilarious and everyone was cracking up. The party continued until midnight, when Brandon and Dana thanked their guests for coming, there were a few toasts, and we welcomed in the New Year with a countdown. The party continued a bit longer until the night came to a close. What a great way to spend New Years Eve!
Congratulations Brandon and Dana, and enjoy your Honeymoon in Costa Rica!
