Congratulations Chuck and Francesca

This couple was so fun!  To start with, during the beautiful outdoor ceremony, there was a reading in which the word “zombie” came up.  We’ve never heard that before!  Francesca and Chuck wrote their own vows to each other, and there were some funny moments there as well.  We knew right then that we’d have a fantastic time with this couple and their guests. 

To match their colors of navy, blush, burgundy and gold, the bridal party wore navy dresses and carried beautiful bouquets of blush and burgundy flowers.  The guys were handsome in their grey suits, burgundy ties and vests.  The ballroom also matched the colors, as the tables had navy linens topped with centerpieces of burgundy and blush flowers.  Their pretty four-tiered cake was covered in pink ruffles and accented with burgundy and blush flowers.  The gold topper said, “To the moon & back.”  So cute!

I loved this couple’s guest book.  Instead of a traditional book, they had a hand-drawn tree on a canvas.  Guests placed their thumbprints on the tree and signed their names next to them.  For another special touch, there was also a cute jar for “Date ideas.”  The guests wrote ideas on colored slips of paper and dropped them into the jar.  What a great idea!

We always know there will be a lot of dancing when the first dance song of the night packs the dance floor, and that’s what happened at this reception.  The floor was jumping all night long and everyone had a great time!   After dinner, Francesca changed into a pretty white Marilyn Monroe style dress that allowed her to spend plenty of time on the dance floor, and that’s what she did.  After the last dance, the guests lined up and blew bubbles as the newlyweds headed off in a limo.  Congratulations Chuck and Francesca!
