Love in the Garden
With an October breeze in the air, this day was anything but cold. These love birds exchanged vows and were married in an elegant, very personal, garden ceremony. Their zest for life was on display throughout the wedding: life-size cut out posters of their dogs, a personalized cookbook for each guest, The Poetry Fox creating poems for guests on his typewriter, an ice cream truck with late-night sweets, and much more. When two people have found their perfect match, you get an evening as joyous as this.
A Union of Two Families – & Two Kitchens
Weddings are the celebration of love – of two lives joined and committed to everlasting love. This couple shared a special part of that union with their guests: “A Merger of Two Kitchens!!” – a recipe book with favorites from the Mother of the Groom and Mother of the Bride. Keeping the theme going, each table vase sat atop a stack of cookbooks special to the couple.
Dinner & Dreams of Ice Cream
With toasts that sparkled happy tears, the sweetest first dance, and the Two Roosters ice cream truck rolling into the courtyard, we’d say this couple really knows how to throw a party. During the newlywed’s first dance, they were in their own wonderland, the way it should be. After a few dances with the guests on the floor, it was time for an ice cream break before turning it up a notch.
We Hope You Came To Dance
Everyone was up and dancing when the band’s saxophone player got in his groove and the guitarist decided it was the right time to don his top hat. The bride and groom were no strangers to the center of the dance floor, and truly danced the night away. As the hours passed and the night started to come to a close, their friends and family cracked neon glow sticks and held them high. With one more kiss under a neon arch, the guests sent their favorite people off with great memories & more to come.
