Congratulations Michael and Joanna


This wedding day was a bit different from the norm for us, and we loved it. It was very traditional, from the outdoor Ceremony under the canopy of a huge oak tree, to the indoor seated Reception. The colors for this elegant wedding were plum and grey, so the Bridal Party wore knee-length plum dresses while the Groomsmen wore white shirts with grey vests and plum colored ties. Joanna was gorgeous in her off-white lace covered gown with satin sash. Her beautiful bouquet featured ivory flowers with lavender accents. The Ceremony had white wooden chairs, and the ones along the aisles had mason jars with ivory and plum flowers. Near the end of the ceremony, an a capella quartet performed for the new Husband and Wife.
 
  There was no dancing at the Reception, so the music included Jazz, Rat Pack, and other oldies. It was perfect for this traditional day. The centerpieces matched the feel as well, with alternating vintage lanterns, old fashioned candle chandeliers, and white bud vases with flowers. Michael and Joanna share a love of reading, so some of the centerpieces also had stacked books with candles on top. They had other vintage touches as well, including an old suitcase for cards, a wood ‘wall’ holding portraits of family members, and an old wooden box holding the programs. Every detail was perfect.

After dinner, the toasts, the cake cutting, and time to visit with family and friends, Joanna and Michael made their exit through sparklers and began their new life together. Congratulations to the Newlyweds and enjoy your Honeymoon!
