Congratulations Don and Melissa

This pretty spring day brought us to Galveston, and it was a great day for this beach-y wedding. The colors for the day were coral and turquoise, and they were the perfect accents for this fun-loving, surfing couple. The tables had white cloths with alternating coral and turquoise napkins. The napkins had coral and turquoise rings. The alternating high/low centerpieces were tall glass vases with submerged coral flowers and floating candles. There was also a small bouquet of coral roses on each table, in a vase wrapped in a turquoise ribbon. At each place setting was a champagne glass favor, customized in turquoise with Don and Melissa’s names, wedding date, two birds kissing. There were turquoise napkins at the bar with the same design. To pull the whole look together, there were white and coral lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

Melissa wore an elegant fitted gown and carried a beautiful bouquet made entirely of vintage brooches. Her Bridal Party wore floor-length coral dresses and carried coral rose bouquets. Don wore a black tux with s white shirt and multi-colored coral tie. His guys wore similar attire. Once the reception was underway, all the Groomsmen changed into turquoise Adidas.

The cake cutting was awesome because the cakes were awesome! Melissa’s cake had three, round, white stacked tiers. Each was accented with a turquoise scallop design with yellow dots. There were two turquoise kissing birds on top. Don’s cake was also a masterpiece. Combining his passions, it started with a big wave and sand at one end, and slowly turned into a huge mountain with snow and a ski lift. There were two custom made bobble heads of Melissa and Don on the cake, and they were dressed to surf.

We started the dancing with a Grand March. It ended with the Newlyweds in the middle, doing their First Dance. After that came the Father/Daughter Dance and the Mother/Son Dance. Now I know where Don gets his fun attitude! The Anniversary Dance followed, and then it was on to the party! This group was great, and really loved a reggae, hip hop, ska feel to the music. It was a blast! After a while we stopped for the bouquet and garter, and Don slid on the floor and danced his way over to Melissa to remove the garter. LOL Then, back to the party. There was even some break dancing thrown in for fun. Finally the night came to a close and the Newlyweds said farewell to their guests. Congratulations Don and Melissa and enjoy Thailand!
