Congratulations Tyler and Taunie

The details for this Lord of the Rings/Legend of Zelda/The Hobbits inspired wedding day were perfect.  For the outdoor ceremony, there was an aisle runner made up of moss.  Taunie was beautiful in her gown accented by a wreath in her hair.  The bridal party wore green dresses and also had wreaths in their hair.  The guys wore black tuxes while Tyler wore a white jacket, all of them wearing green boutonnieres.  The two flower girls wore green dresses and carried wood baskets while the ring bearer carried a small glass box containing two rings nestled in moss.  In lieu of programs, the couple had a custom 4 page newspaper!  The names and photos of the wedding party members were inside the paper, as well as photos and information about Tyler and Taunie’s relationship.

When the guests entered the reception, they signed their names in a guest book with a customized wood cover.  There was a table covered in vintage post cards, which guests used to write messages to the newlyweds.  The display holding table assignments consisted of a framed board covered in moss.  There were hooks on the board, holding old-fashioned keys.  Each key had the guest’s name and table number on it.  I can’t describe it well but it was really cool.  There was a sign in the middle of the board that said, in a Hobbit inspired font, “No admittance except on party business.”   To add a unique touch and bring the couple’s mothers into the wedding day, both Taunie and Tyler had their mother’s wedding gowns displayed on mannequins. 

The guest’s tables were perfect for the enchanted forest/elves/fairies/Hobbits feel of the day.  They all had ivory floor-length table cloths topped by gold chargers.  The table numbers were made of wood slices.  The high/low centerpieces alternated between tall gold candelabras with white flowers and greenery
flowing down, and three candles nestled in moss on wood slices. To give the room a golden glow, we had our uplights highlighting the walls.

Taunie’s three tiered, stacked white wedding cake matched the theme perfectly.  It had natural frosting lines and greenery on each tier.  The cake sat on a plateau made of wood accented with moss and greenery.  Tyler’s chocolate cake was frosted in white with chocolate ganache dripping down the sides. 

There was a unique detail that we’ve never seen before for the exit:  the guests lined up waving balloons that were tied to a stick, and each balloon had a tiny LED light inside of it. There were gold metallic streamers tied around the sticks.  The balloons looked great!  Taunie and Tyler danced their last dance, ran though the guests, climbed into a white vintage limo and headed off to their new life together.  Congratulations Tyler and Taunie!
