Congratulations Conrad and Laurie

What a gorgeous Reception! This one took place at an Italian Restaurant on The Strand, which has beautiful décor. The colors for the day were peacock blue, charcoal, and silver. They were so pretty for this sunny spring day. The tables had sheer sparkle turquoise cloths with satin edges. In the center of each were vases of bright flowers with floating candles. To finish off the look, we had blue uplights accenting the room.


Laurie wore a beautiful off-white gown with a sweetheart neckline and heavily beaded bodice. The full skirt had layers upon layers of ruffles. It was gorgeous! Laurie’s bouquet was a full bouquet of bright flowers accented with peacock feathers and turquoise hand-tied stems. Her Bridesmaids wore peacock colored gowns with charcoal sashes. Conrad was handsome in a traditional black cutaway tux with white shirt and tie.

Conrad and Laurie had a very dramatic entrance: they were dropped off at the door by a vintage Rolls Royce. As they entered, a bagpiper played behind them. Everyone loved it! The Newlyweds then went on to their First Dance, and a seated dinner followed. The toasts came next, starting with a traditional Irish toast given by Laurie and Conrad to their guests, and the guests answered in turn. There was also a special Irish coin toast. Then we moved on to the Cake Cutting. The cake consisted of assorted cupcakes on a stand, with a small top tier accented with their last initial. There were four different flavors of cakes to choose from, and guests loved it!

The dance floor was open until it was time for the Bouquet and Garter. Since there weren’t many single women or men, we opened up the Bouquet and Garter tosses for all women and men in the room. The lucky catcher was to receive years of continued happiness. Following that, the guests danced until the exit. Conrad and Laurie ran through a shower of bubbles while bells rang out, and they made a dramatic exit in the vintage car. Congratulations to you both!!
