And Then There Were Two...

As we entered our last weekend of weddings for our 2023 season, what better way could we start it than with the marriage of Jane & Harrison on Friday, November 10th. Being Veteran’s Day weekend, it was awesome to have so many in the military present for this day, including our groom. Thank you all for your services to this great country of ours! Jane & Harrison had their ceremony off-site at St. Thomas Aquinas which means I missed that great military tradition when the guys do that sword thing for the bride to walk through to welcome her to the Navy with their swords drawn to make an arch. Always one of my favorite things to witness.

Jane & Harrison had one of the most amazing floral decors on their head table. Lined with 380 hydrangea flowers to create this floral runner accented with candles. WOW! What a statement it made. Also, tied on the back of each chair at the head table with a miniature floral arrangement.

This wedding had it all for their guests to enjoy. Immediately as guests arrived they were greeted by 2 glass bookcases with glasses of wine for them to grab and enjoy as they headed to cocktail hour. This is a great idea to keep those bar lines short. While the couple were out taking photos, guests nibbled on large charcuterie boards of cheese and crackers.

Once entering the reception tent guests were not just warmed by the heated tent but also by the candlelight and swagged bistro lights. Just look at how elegant and warm this tent looked! And then to warm their tummies, look at these delicious plates of food that were served. I can personally tell you that the shrimp and salmon dish with risotto was AMAZING!!!!

To finish out the evening guests enjoyed a delicious slice of cake or perhaps a cigar in the gazebo. Also, in the gazebo was one of those old phones that you pick up to leave a voice message for the couple to treasure from their special day.
