Congratulations Charles and Kendall

This wedding may have started with a traditional, elegant ceremony, but it ended up with an all-out party at the reception!  The ceremony took place outside, in a beautiful gazebo with draping.  To match the wedding colors of navy and blush, the bridal party wore blush dresses and carried bouquets of white hydrangea and pink roses.  The groomsmen wore suits, vases and bow ties. 

The reception ballroom had tables covered with ivory damask floor-length linens.  The high/low centerpieces alternated between tall vases holding white hydrangeas and pink roses, and low vases with the same flowers.  Gold votive candles surrounded each centerpiece, and they matched the gold chargers and napkin rings.

Kendall’s beautiful white cake matched the wedding flowers, with white and pink roses cascading down the front.  The cake had four, stacked tiers, each with natural frosting lines.  The cake sat on an elegant gold cake stand.  Charles’ groom’s cake featured a fleur de lis on the top.  Add that to the Cajun songs they asked us to play, we figured Charles must be from Louisiana.   What was really funny was that a guest brought a stuffed Domo to the reception.  Apparently, it’s a family good luck charm.

What it came to dancing, this group was awesome!  The dance floor was packed all night, from the first song to the last.  They only time they stopped was for the bouquet and garter, when Charles’ fraternity brothers sang a song to Kendall, and when Kendall and her sorority sisters sang a song.  Other than that it was non-stop dancing fun!  After a great wedding, the night came to a close when the newlyweds ran through a shower of dried lavender and headed off in a decked-out limo bus.  Congratulations Charles and Kendall!
