Congratulations Travis and Tatiana

 This country meets rustic wedding featured the colors of turquoise and coral, and they were pulled together perfectly.  Outside the venue, the guests arrived to find a unique display of stacked hay bales with a saddle on top.  There was the word “love” made of wood and painted turquoise, and below that was a “W” for the couple’s last initial.  Once Inside, there was a unique guest book.  The guests signed small hearts that were dropped into a picture frame in the shape of Texas.  They then put their gifts inside a full-sized antique carriage – how cool! 

The ceremony took place in front a custom built wood arch, which was decorated with turquoise and coral flowers.  Bales of hay accented the posts of the arch.  Tatiana’s bridal party wore pretty knee-length dresses and carried bouquets of coral and turquoise flowers.  Travis and his guys looked great in their grey tuxes.  Travis wore a coral vest and tie while his groomsmen wore turquoise vests and ties.

The reception tables matched the colors of the wedding with the centerpieces.  They consisted of coral and turquoise mason jars filled with flowers, sitting on wood slices.  The jars had Texas shapes on them, and the light inside the jars shone through the shapes.  Each centerpiece was accented with a votive candle and a small framed picture of the couple.  We had our amber Uplights around the room, which created a candlelight feel.  When it came time for dancing, they allowed us to turn off the overhead lights, which were too bright.    That’s one big advantage of Uplights: you can turn off lights that don’t have dimmers, and create a more romantic or fun atmosphere. 

Tatiana’s three-tiered white cake matched the wedding colors and theme.  The stacked tiers had swirl accents on them and the middle one had a coral bow around it.  The wood topper was in the shape of Texas and had the couple’s wedding date on it.  The cake sat on wood slices.  Travis’ cake looked like a Nintendo game system, so I guess we know what he loves!  (Besides Tatiana, of course.)  The guests also enjoyed a candy bar, with turquoise and coral candy.  One thing I will remember about this wedding was Travis and his screwdriver.  I can’t explain it but it was so funny!

After a great wedding with a fun couple, the night came to an end when the newlyweds walked through a line of their guests blowing bubbles.  Congratulations Travis and Tatiana!
