Congratulations James and Miranda

 What a pretty summer afternoon Ceremony and Reception! You don’t see a lot of afternoon weddings, but this one showed why there should be more. It was beautiful! Shades of pink were the colors for the day and their accents were perfect for this historic ballroom. The Wedding Party matched perfectly as well, with soft pink dresses on the ladies and soft pink ties on the guys.


After the Ceremony, the sheers on the ballroom windows were opened, giving the guests a gorgeous view of palm trees and the beach. The tables had ivory linens with centerpieces of sand, seashells, and candles in low vases. Miranda’s cake was perfect as well: it had three ivory tiers with wave shaped accents, seashells, and “sand” at the bottom. Even the topper was made of shells. As a favor to the guests, there were decorated seashell-shaped cookies at each place setting. Miranda’s gown complimented the beachside theme as well: it was a fitted mermaid style with a soft train flowing behind it.

After a bit of cake smashing, the Bouquet and Garter, some fun dancing, and a great afternoon with wonderful family and friends, the Reception came to a close. Congratulations James and Miranda!
