I have started loving afternoon weddings, and this wedding
was the reason why. There’s something
timeless about afternoon weddings. The
daylight streaming in the windows, the emphasis on family and friends. The dance floor may not be packed, but
everyone still has fun. The guests get
to sit back and relax, while enjoying a beautiful day.
The color for this wedding was orchid, and it was reflected
in the bridal party’s dresses and the flowers.
The guest tables were so pretty, as they had white floor-length cloths
and centerpieces consisting of mason jars in wood boxes, holding bright spring
flowers. There were favor bags of
M&Ms for guests to enjoy, and each place setting had a custom wood coaster
with Patrick and Ashley’s names and wedding date on it. There was also a candy buffet table with
coloring books and colored pencils for the kids to enjoy. On the sign-in table, there were papers where
guests could write notes to the couple.
Next to those was a custom sign of Ashley, Patrick and their dog Millie
standing in front of a castle. Guests
signed the picture and it turned out great!
The ceremony music matched the couple’s interests, as it
included songs from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. To go with that, Patrick didn’t have a
groom’s cake, so he opted for cookies and cupcakes decorated to look like Iron
Man. Ashley’s four-tiered cake was
simple and elegant, as it had natural frosting lines and flowers accenting each
tier. During the ceremony, a groomsman brought
in the couple’s dog Millie. Millie was
great: she stayed through the whole ceremony and walked back down the aisle
with the newlyweds. She was so cute! I saw one thing at this wedding that I’ve
never seen before – canned carrots. I
don’t know the story, but it’s a running joke between Patrick and his
friends. You never know what you’ll see
at a wedding!
When the evening ended, the newlyweds shared a last dance
and said goodbye to their family and friends before heading out. Congratulations Patrick and Ashley!
