A Beautiful Couple -- Inside & Out...

This past weekend was the wedding of our good friends, Dan & Deanne. The weather was fabulous, the planned activities fun but the best part of the weekend? The obvious & outrageous love these two have for one another and for the ONE who brought their lives together! I assisted the couple as wedding planner and throughout the past months have often been reminded of just HOW MANY details are required to coordinate a weekend & wedding for close to 300 guests. BTW: Thanks, Mom & Dad, for all your efforts in planning my OWN wedding some 7 years ago!

Blake did all the artifical florals which included 30+ reception arrangements, corsages, boutonnières, the cake (which I think turned out fabulously!), etc. Although the wedding weekend was not without moments of stress & some minor glitches, it seemed as if these details were not apparent to the guests and MOST importantly... to the bride & groom. PTL!

Here are a couple of pictures from the weekend. First the fabulous cake which was so yummy...

Because of the size (specifically the ceiling height) of the reception hall, we used a combination of tall and shorter arrangements to fill the space; using all short arrangements can get lost in a large room. Here are the two centerpieces which Blake designed. The bride choose to use a combination of hydrangea, calla lillies & roses with various grass accents.

Since we specialize in artificial florals, we did not design the hand-held florals carried by the bride & bridemaids but I've included a shot here showing the dazzling flowers & color combination...

May God bless your marriage, Dan & Deanne! May life's challenges be shared and may life's joys be greater than ever you could have imagined them to be. Keep your eyes on Jesus; He is a faithful guide. We love you both!
