Congratulations Nick and Kelsy

When this bride and groom said they wanted their reception to be a great party, they weren’t kidding! The dance floor was hopping all night long, to all kinds of songs.  They wanted to have fun and they got it!  At one point, a groomsman was sitting on another guy’s shoulders, dancing.  Then, Kelsy was lifted in the air like the famous scene from Dirty Dancing.  This group came to party! To add to the fun, we had our dance floor lighting.  And, our photo booth was set up for some great pictures.

The colors for this wedding were navy, burgundy and gold, and the room was beautiful.  The tables had floor-length ivory cloths, and were surrounded by gold Chiavari chairs.  The high/low centerpieces alternated between tall vases with large arrangements of ivory and burgundy flowers, and lower arrangements of the same flowers.  Each place setting had a gold charger and a navy napkin in a gold napkin ring.  There was a rectangular long table down the center of the room for the wedding party, and two smaller rectangular tables for guests.  The room was gorgeous!

Kelsy’s three-tiered, stacked cake was so pretty.  It was all white with dot patterns on each layer.  It was accented with burgundy and cream roses.  It was very elegant.  Nick’s two-tiered, stacked groom’s cake was white with chocolate ganache dripping down the sides.  A Texas Tech logo was on the top tier.  For an extra sweet treat, each guest received a cookie with the couple’s names on it.

After a great night of fun, the dancing came to an end.  The newlyweds ran through a shower of bubbles, got in a limo and headed off to their new life.  Congratulations Nick and Kelsy!

Congratulations Kyle and Tyler

Despite the rainstorm that caused the ceremony to be moved indoors, this was a fantastic wedding!  The ceremony took place inside the historic building, in front of a wall of windows.  Tyler and her bridal party wore floor-length white dresses and carried bouquets of white flowers and greenery.  Kyle and his groomsmen wore beige tuxes and vests with white shirts.  They all wore soft green vests and ties.  The colors of the day were white and green, so the wedding party looked perfect.  One aspect of the wedding that I liked was the guest’s attire.  They were asked to wear white, and they all did.  It’s so unusual to see guests wear white to a wedding but I really liked the look.  There was a unique accent to the ceremony that we hadn’t seen before: instead of a unity ceremony, the couple added dirt to a potted plant that they will later plant at their home.

The reception tables matched the colors of the day with their white floor-length cloths.  They all had burlap runners, with a wood slice in the center.  Each place setting had a gold charger, which matched the gold cake stands.  The flowers that lined the ceremony aisle were repurposed to serve as centerpieces, where they sat on the wood slices.   Tyler’s three-tiered, white, stacked cake was elegant in its simplicity.  Each tier was smooth, and the only accents were three white roses and greenery on the middle tier.  Kyle’s chocolate groom’s cake had chocolate ganache drizzled down the sides. 

When it came time for dancing, this group was fun!  They all flew in from out of state, and they came to have a great time!  There was nonstop dancing from the first song to the last.  We had so much fun just watching them!  Sadly, the night  had to come to a close with the last dance.  Instead of a formal exit, the newlyweds chose to stay and say farewell to their guests.  Congratulations Kyle and Tyler!

Congratulations Andrew and Kristen

This obviously-in-love couple had their wedding at a unique location: a railroad museum.  The ceremony was held outside, in a gazebo next to vintage trains.   Inside the museum, the guests enjoyed checking out the displays during the cocktail hour.  For dinner, the guests were seated at one big, long table, which was decorated with simple elegance.  There were votive candles nestled among greenery that ran down the length of the table.  Each place setting had a gold charger and a custom menu card. 

The cake was simple and elegant as well.  It had two stacked tiers and was decorated with clusters of berries.  For the guestbook, there was a custom sign with the couple’s names and wedding date on it, which guests signed.  In lieu of a formal exit, this couple opted to stay until the very end of the reception to bid farewell to their guests.  Congratulations Kristen and Andrew and enjoy your Colombian honeymoon!
