In this
century, weddings have become much than the traditional “I Do.” Today we find that most brides are looking
for that “wow” factor and a more interactive experience for the guests. Jody and Shawn’s wedding had all of these
factors but most importantly they remembered that this day was about them.
The bride’s gorgeous lace gown
all the way to the lovely white floral arrangement this wedding was the
definition of beautiful. The
centerpieces, actually arranged by a friend of the bride, were set in mason
jars with a simple white ribbon for decoration.
The table was also set with cards asking each guest questions about the
bride and groom and also for some advice for the newlyweds. As an added bonus there were
flip-flops for all of the ladies who attended so they could “kick off their
heels and dance,” as the poster read.
The wedding was, as it should be,
very tailored around the bride and groom.
When guests entered to get their escort cards they could see photographs
of both the bride and grooms family on their wedding days. There were photos of their parents and well
as their grandparents. These photos
added a very personal touch to the wedding.
The picture theme continued on the other side of the table where the
guest’s escort cards were located. Jody
came up with an amazing idea for the escort cards. There was a picture of every single guest
hung up on the twine supported in rustic wood frames. On the back of the guests photograph there
was their table number as well as their meal choice. Most of the photographs were of couples on
their wedding day or of the couples together, a great special touch.
Between the great food provided by Blackstone Catering, beautiful
venue, and special details, Jody and Shawn had an amazing wedding that I’m sure
their guests, along with themselves, will never forget.
