Congratulations Joey and Colleen

What a fun couple and what a great day! This wedding was in Galveston, with an outdoor Ceremony and indoor Reception. The colors for the day were white, fuchsia, and turquoise. They were perfect for this beach-side wedding. The tables had white tablecloths, with alternating fuchsia and turquoise runners. The centerpieces were so cute – tin pails filled with sand and bottles, and the bottles had mini glowing LED lights inside. Sticking out of each centerpiece was a little chalkboard sign with the table number written on it. Another great touch was the escort card set table. There were small sand boxes holding tiny tin pails filled with custom made M&Ms. Each pail had a little sign that indicated the table assignments. The whole theme was summery, bright, and fun, and it was just perfect.

Colleen wore an elegant, ruched, strapless gown, while her bridesmaids wore turquoise strapless gowns, with her Maid of Honor in fuchsia. Joey was handsome in his all white tuxedo. The flowers were an assortment of bright colors, all tied with turquoise satin ribbons.

After the cocktail hour and dinner, we moved onto the toast and cake cutting. Colleen’s cake had three, stacked, white tiers, each decorated with black scroll designs or polka dots. There was a turquoise band around the bottom of each and stargazer lilies making up the topper. Joey’s cake was a surprise from Colleen, and it featured a replica of his black motorcycle. The First Dance followed, and it was such fun! They started out with a slow song, and then it mixed into Sweet Caroline. Joey revealed a Boston Red Sox t-shirt under his tux, and I threw Red Sox jersey to Colleen, which she wore for the rest of the dance. The guests, many of them from Boston, loved it!

Once the dancing was underway, it was a crowded floor from the first song to the last. Colleen told me her group loved to dance and she was right. We had a blast! Country and Pop/Hip Hop were the guaranteed floor-fillers for this fun crowd. The Bouquet and Garter came later, and then it was more dancing until the end. At one point, the staff came out with sliders and mini milkshakes for guests. That was great! Finally, the last dance was over and Joey and Colleen made their exit and drove off in a limousine. Congratulations to you both and enjoy your Honeymoon in Panama!!
