Congratulations David and Morgan

This beautiful wedding Reception had a vintage feel from the beginning to the end.  The guests arrived to cocktails and appetizers while enjoying lawn games including corn hole and hula hooping.  There were Adirondack chairs for relaxing while we played music.   Halfway through cocktails, Morgan and David made a dramatic entrance on a vintage fire truck.  David is a fire fighter, so it was perfect!   Soon after, the guests made their way into the ballroom for the Reception.

The tables had floor length ivory cloths topped with plum satin toppers and the chairs were fitted with ivory satin covers and plum satin ties.  The high/low centerpieces alternated between high silver candelabra and shorter arrangements of blue hydrangea and ivory roses.  Each place setting had a gold charger, ivory napkin and candy tied in a plum colored favor bag.  We had 8 amber Uplights around the room which gave it a vintage golden glow.  To top it off, we had a GOBO monogram of Morgan and David’s names and wedding date surrounded by a floral pattern projected onto the dance floor.

After David and Morgan made their formal entrance into the ballroom they went right into their First Dance.  They had put on vintage hats before their entrance and wore them throughout the evening.  Morgan’s had put a cage veil onto a white hat that was her Grandmothers and David wore a vintage black fedora.  Their Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances followed.  After an amazing dinner, we moved onto the toast and cake cutting.  Morgan’s cake was so cool: it was a traditional Norwegian wedding cake, which consists of round almond type cookies drizzled in chocolate stacked up to form a cone.  There were 7 of them, all on vintage cake plates.  David’s Groom’s cake was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.  Yum!

Once the dance floor opened, it was fun until the end.  This crowd was ready to have a great time and they did!  The Bouquet and Garter came later, then dancing continued some more.  As a special treat, the guests were served ham, biscuits and bread pudding for a late night snack before driving home.  The night came to a close when Morgan and David ran through their guests and climbed into an antique limousine.  Congratulations David and Morgan!
