Congratulations Ryan and Rachael

This wedding was held at one of our favorite historic venues in Galveston. The colors were burgundy and navy and the couple did a great job carrying them throughout the wedding. The outdoor ceremony was held in the gazebo, in front of an elegant draping of burgundy and navy fabric. Rachael was stunning in her strapless, lace dress, delicate floral headpiece and long lace trimmed veil. The bridal party wore burgundy floor-length dresses while the groomsmen wore navy tuxes. All of the flowers were a combination of burgundy, navy and off-white colors.

The guests entered the ballroom to find a unique guest ‘book’. It consisted of fabric squares that the guests signed. Later, Rachael will make them into a quilt. The guest’s dinner tables were so pretty. They alternated between burgundy and navy damask floor-length cloths and were topped by burgundy or navy napkins. A menu card was tucked into each napkin. The centerpieces were a variety of antique lanterns surrounded by flowers and candles. To give the room an elegant glow, we had our pale pink uplights shining up the walls.

The white, two-tiered wedding cake was embellished with pearls and blue and burgundy flowers. The topper had a little bride and groom, accented by matching flowers. For a special treat for the guests, there was a dessert table covered in mini-cupcakes, cookies, mousse, and an assortment of mini-desserts. It was a hit!

Once dancing was underway, LED foam wands and LED fiber wands were passed out to the guests. There was a Hora, where Ryan was lifted up in a chair while guests danced around him. There was a lot of fun dancing! When guests weren’t on the dance floor, they had a great time taking pictures in our photo booth. The newlyweds even brought an enlarged picture of their cat, Potato, and took pictures in the photo booth with it . Too funny!

When the reception ended, the newlyweds ran through well-wishers, climbed into Ryan’s truck, and headed off. Congratulations Rachael and Ryan!
