This afternoon ceremony and reception with the wedding
colors of blue and pink, was perfect for the historic venue. The bridesmaids wore a variety of long blue
dresses while the junior bridesmaids wore knee-length pink dresses. There were three cute flower girls, all in
white dresses and flower wreath crowns.
To tie in with the colors, the groomsmen all wore pink ties. The tables tied the colors together as well,
as they had blue floor-length cloths with ivory lace toppers and pink napkins
sat at each place The high/low
centerpieces consisted of vases with ivory hydrangea. For a personalized touch, each table had a
framed picture of Christina and Josh.
The wedding cake matched the colors of the day, as it had
three white stacked tiers with pink frosted accents and two sugar flowers
decorating the front. It was simple and
pretty, perfect for this afternoon reception.
In lieu of a guestbook, this couple had something we had never seen
before: Suggestion Jars.
There was a table with empty vases, and cards in front of
each saying phrases like, “First Fight,” “5 year Anniversary,” “First Baby,” and
other sayings. The guests wrote advice on
the pink and blue cards to the Newlyweds and dropped the cards in the
appropriate jars. What a great idea!
One thing I must say about this wedding was how organized
the groomsmen were. They had lists of
their duties, and helped out every way they could. I’ve never seen groomsmen so detail
oriented! When it came to dancing, this
bride loved to tear up the dance floor.
It was so pretty, the way her full skirt flared out around her as she
twirled around.
When it came time for the exit, the couple ran through a
shower of pink and white rose petals and climbed into their limo. Congratulations Josh and Christina!
