This hot summer Reception took place at a venue where we’ve never played before. That’s getting pretty unusual for us and it’s always nice to see a new place. The colors for this wedding were red and black with touches of black and white damask. The tables had white floor-length table cloths with black satin overlays and the white chair covers had black satin ties. The centerpieces had white pillar candles in hurricane lamps, surrounded by votive candles and red petals. A few of the special tables had damask table cloths or runners. It was all very pretty.
Jennifer wore a beautiful almost vintage looking dress that I loved. It was strapless with all over ivory lace. The skirt fell softly to a simple train with an under bustle. Jennifer carried a full bouquet of red roses with crystal accents. Her Bridal Party wore red knee-length dresses and carried smaller versions of Jennifer’s bouquet. Brandon wore a black tux with white vest, shirt, and tie with a red rose boutonniere. His Groomsmen wore red vests and ties.
After the First Dance, dinner, the toasts, and the parent’s dances, we moved on to the party. This group was so much fun!!! They danced to everything and packed the dance floor on almost every song. From a Conga line going around the room, to everyone doing the YMCA, to every country song imaginable, and everything else you can imagine, these guests were a blast! Even the Money Dance was fun. First, they had more people participate than we’ve ever seen. Then, they had fun with it, dancing like it was a hoe down, to Brandon dancing with and dipping a male guest, to Brandon carrying a grown man around as they danced. It was hilarious!
After lots of fun dancing, it was time for the cake cutting. Jennifer’s cake had 4 stacked hexagon-shaped tiers. Each was white and had a black band around the bottom. Alternating tiers had a beautiful scroll design. The cake topper had two small ‘bling’ initials for their first names, and a large for their last name. The Groom’s cake was pretty cool. It was a green ‘field’ with a four-wheeler coming over a big hill, with a cooler of beer in the back. There were ‘trees’, grass, a creek, you name it. And it was all edible.
After plenty more dancing, lots of singing along to the music, and the presentation of a handmade quilt to the Newlyweds by members of Brandon’s family, we did the bouquet and garter tosses. Then, back to the dancing until the end. This was such a great group of dancers that nobody wanted the night to end. But, finally Brandon and Jennifer ran through sparklers, climbed into their limo, and headed off to their new life as a married couple. Congratulations Jennifer and Brandon!! We hope you had as much fun as we did!
