Congratulations Tim and Susan


What a beautiful day for an outdoor Ceremony and afternoon Reception. The Reception was held in a room which had floor-to-ceiling windows on three walls, with water on three sides. It was so pretty! One neat aspect of this wedding was the mix of cultures. Susan is Korean, Tim is from England, and they had friends and family in from all over. Everyone came together to celebrate the wedding and they all had a great time.

The colors for the day were ivory and eggplant/dark plum. The tables had floor-length ivory damask linens which matched the ivory satin chair covers. The centerpieces had three styles: tall vases with large bouquets of baby’s breath, tall vases with ivory calla lilies, or low bowls with ivory calla lilies. Each guest had a damask print tin of Jordan almonds at their place setting. It was all very elegant.

Susan was gorgeous in her ivory satin, strapless gown. It had a ruched waist, and split front bust with a beaded embellishment right below. Susan carried a hand-tied calla lily bouquet and looked very elegant. Her Bridesmaids wore cocktail-length, strapless dresses in eggplant and carried smaller versions of Susan’s bouquet. Tim wore an ivory shirt, vest and tie under his morning coat. He had a calla lily boutonniere. His Groomsmen wore similar attire, but with eggplant colored vests.

After cocktails and appetizers, the guests enjoyed a seated meal. During lunch, they heard the toasts and watched Susan and Tim cut their wedding cake. It had four, round, stacked ivory tiers, with calla lilies on the top. Each tier had a decorative icing band around the bottom with scroll designs. The First Dance came next, and then the dance floor was open to all.

The Bouquet Toss came later and then the guests stayed until Tim and Susan had their last dance and made their exit. Congratulations Susan and Tim!
