Congratulations Aric and Lindsay

This Reception was elegant, beautiful, fun and had so many cool details. The colors for the day were baby blue and ivory, and everything tied together beautifully. The tables had floor length ivory linens with baby blue pin-tuck toppers. The silver chargers were topped with ivory napkins. The high-low centerpieces alternated between tall candelabras and low floral arrangements in pale blue and white. For the final dramatic touch, we had blue uplights around the room giving it a gorgeous glow.

There were so many details that were perfection, including a huge dessert table of cookies and blue candies; the custom napkins with the couple’s initials; the two tiered white cake with blue hydrangeas on top; the blue letters spelling out “dessert”, “guest book” and “table placement”; the blue seating chart; the cookie take home boxes with the couples’ initials on top; the signature blue drink at the bar; and more.

One of the toasts was amazing: it was a dramatic recitation of a poem that was written for Lindsay and Aric. It was almost 5 minutes, was done totally from memory and was incredible! We have never seen anything like it before and the guests loved it. Right after the Mother/Son dance, Lindsay and her Bridesmaids as well as a few other women unexpectedly did a flash mob dance for the guests. They were great and really helped kick off the dancing. Speaking of dancing, this group danced non-stop all night. It was so much fun! Line dances, dance offs, a guy spinning on the floor, you name it and it happened. We had as much watching as they did dancing!

When the last dance ended, the Newlyweds ran though sparklers as a new husband and wife. Congratulations Aric and Lindsay!!
