The country club reception was so pretty and a perfect way to usher in spring. The colors were platinum and yellow, and I loved it! The tables had floor-length platinum satin table cloths, and the chairs had platinum satin covers with yellow sashes. Now here’s the cool part: apparently, both of the Newlyweds are chemists. So they incorporated a ‘chemistry’ theme into their wedding in some awesome ways! The centerpieces consisted of three ‘vases’, all shaped like large beakers or something you would find in a lab. One had a yellow rose, one had yellow rocks in the bottom, and the other had a yellow floating candle. To top it off, each table was named after an element on the periodic table. The favors consisted of yellow candies in personalized test tubes that said “Bonded for life.” How cute!
Ellen was so gorgeous in her slightly off white, strapless gown. It had an asymmetrical wrapped waist, and an A-line skirt. Her bridesmaids wore the prettiest yellow knee-length dresses with white sashes. The dresses had beautiful, white embroidered flowers on the skirt. They all carried bouquets of yellow flowers. Brian and his Groomsmen looked great in their grey suits. He wore a white tie while the guys wore yellow ties.
After a fun introduction of the Wedding Party and the special dances, it was time for dinner. The toasts followed dinner, and we had one we haven’t seen before: the Best Man reading his toast off his iPod. Then, we were on to the cake cutting. The cake was amazing: it had three, white, stacked tiers. The top and bottom tiers had yellow fondant bands around the bottom of each, with fondant ‘squares’ that were made to look like elements on the periodic table. The middle layer had a made-up element with their last initial and name, representing the new element they make together. It was so cool! After the cake cutting, it was party time!
Since this couple chose not to do the Bouquet or Garter, it was nonstop dancing until the end. This crowd danced to everything from slow to polka, but they really loved the current pop/hip hop hits. And they were hilarious! There was constant dancing, people trying to out-dance each other, jumping up and down, crazy dancing, singing along, you name it. Ellen and Brian had a blast, so did their friends and so did we. We had so much fun just watching!
After a long night of dancing, the evening came to a close. Brian and Ellen stayed until the end to say farewell to their guests after their Last Dance. Congratulations to these very much in love and very fun Newlyweds, and enjoy Wyoming!
