What a beautiful December wedding! The colors were black, white, powder blue, and silver. The theme was ice blue Christmas and the whole Reception was gorgeous! The tables had floor-length white tablecloths with black pin-tuck toppers. The chairs had white satin covers with black ties. Each place setting had a silver charger and a glittery silver favor box. The alternating high/low centerpieces were either tall silver trees with beading, crystals and uplights; or foot high, uplit glass vases filled with assorted silver and ice blue ornaments. There was a Christmas tree with only white lights and the gifts were placed underneath. The card holder was a bird cage covered in white glitter, which made it look like had snow on it. The whole effect was holiday glamour.
Caroline wore a strapless, white gown with lace overlay that was fitted to her hips. From there it flowed with layers and layers of ruffles to a long train. Her look was topped with an elegant crystal triple headband and a black sash that was added at the Reception. She carried a hand-tied bouquet of assorted white and blue flowers, including hydrangea, calla lilies, and roses. Caroline’s Bridal Party wore a variety of black dresses. Joe wore a black tux with a dark grey vest and tie while his Groomsmen wore black tuxes with white shirts and black ties.
After the special dances and dinner, we moved on to the toasts and cake cutting. Caroline’s white cake had five stacked tiers with a dot pattern on each. The topper consisted of blue hydrangea. There was a tiny bit of smashing, but not too much. Joe’s chocolate cake was in the shape of the state of Texas. There was a bit more smashing here, but not too bad, and then it was on to the dancing. At that point, Caroline changed in to her Reception dress, which was much better for dancing. It was white and fell softly to the floor with draping, and there was one strap of rosettes going over one shoulder. She looked like classic Old Hollywood elegance.
This crowd was fun! They danced to everything and just loved to have a good time. After some dance time, we did the Bouquet and Garter, and then went back to the dancing until the end. After the Last Dance, the Newlyweds ran through a shower of rose petals while the guests also rang their jingle bell bracelets. Joe and Caroline climbed into a Bentley and headed off to their new life together. Congratulations to you both!
