S&D's Tropical Wedding - one week later!

{Disclaimer: A minor computer malfunction is the reason this post is so behind!  Enjoy!}

Thanks to Hurricane Irene we had to post-pone the reception of S&D.  They were amazing.  They were so understanding and totally willing to reschedule.  We didn't really have any other choice, so they made my life easier on what could have been the most stressful day in wedding history.  They did have their ceremony on Saturday August 27th, but chose to move it up earlier in the day to avoid what was expected to be the worst storm Delmarva had seen in years. 

We all survived Irene and were able to come together on Saturday, September 3rd to celebrate a couple I will not soon forget.  The colors were vibrant - there were palm trees, sea shells and plenty of island touches everywhere.  Not to mention the bride, groom and entire bridal party looking absolutely perfect, bright and tropical!  Even the cake and cake table looked like a tropical oasis.  Guests danced the night away and everyone, myself included, had a fantastic time.  S&D are a wonderful couple with a long and happy life ahead of them.  They got married the week of the earthquake, hurricane & tornado and if they can get through that, they can make it through anything.  So, that said, Best Wishes to S&D!  You guys rock!!

Enjoy these fantastic photos!

Princess Pink Wedding



Pink Cinderella Wedding

 This past Saturday we had the pleasure of celebrating the wedding of T&L.  This couple could not have been any sweeter and I am so happy to have been able to participate in their special day!  You can learn a lot about a couple based on the type of wedding they have, and it was so clear to me just how T feels about L.  True love.  He let her have everything she wanted and I know that will continue on throughout their lives together.

My favorite part of this wedding was in the beginning after the introductions and the first dance.  L had prepared a touching speach to thank their grandparents for being such amazing role models in how to have a happy, loving, successful marriage.  (I cried!)  Their Christian values have clearly been passed on to their grandchildren and it is always amazing for me to witness things like this.  They followed the beautiful speach by inviting their grandparents onto the dance floor for a special dance.  This is the song they used for that...I dare you not to shed a tear thinking about your parents or sweet grandparents dancing to this! 



As for the rest of the night: dinner, dancing and a delicious cake created the perfect Happily Ever After for this fairy tale evening.  This coming weekend we have a break, but don't worry, I'll be posting some random things in between :)



This beautiful cake was made by Paula's Place for Cakes in Greenwood
and it was delicious!

M&S's Pink Wedding



Pink & White in June



Hot Pink, or we could call it "Bubble Gum" Pink on a rainy Saturday afternoon.  Pink napkins, pink hydrangea, pink ribbon around the cake, pink candy buffet.  LOVED IT!  Everywhere you turned there were the most vibrant shades of pink.  It turned the day into a bright, cheery day despite the scattered thunderstorms we were experiencing. 

M&S arrived in a horse drawn carriage just like in a fairly tale.  Her gown was beautiful with just the right amount of beading and a sweet bow at the waist.  Bridesmaids and groomsman were both decked out in a shade of pink that matched the room perfectly.  (Real men where pink, that's what I always say!)  

One of my favorite aspects of the day was the floor decal the brides friend surprised her with.  A large letter "W" with two doves and beneath it, their names.  It was a great surprise and definitely added a unique aspect to this fun wedding. Enjoy these photos I got before the guests arrived!
