May 16th Wedding

From the Bride: "Jennifer, thank you so much for everything that you did at our wedding. It was so beautiful and completely exceeded our expectations!"
Beautiful Bouquets...

Reception Centerpiece using pink orchids...


Ceremony Decor:
Grace Chapel in Franklin has a beautiful rock wall at the altar. All we did was add some tulle to soften the look and we also added all kinds of fresh roses.
For the aisle, we sprinkled petals instead of using an aisle runner.



She wanted a funky cake, she got a funky cake!
For this wedding, we handled: all bouquets and floral needs for the bridal party, ceremony decor, reception linens & centerpieces, DJ services, photography, and the 2 cakes! It was so beautiful. Hope that you enjoyed the photos!

Kristen's Aisle Runner

Kristen, we hope that you love your personalized aisle runner. Send us a photo of it in use at your wedding! :) If you need anything else, let us know. Best wishes!

Comments from Kristen:
"The ordering process was very easy and you have been so great to work with. Most companies ask for 3 months lead time on ordering personalized aisle runners. It may take a week or two for me to get my aisle runner. I can't wait to see the aisle runner in person. Thank you!!!"

April 24th Wedding




Ok, well- I was trying to wait until I got the bouquet photos back from the April 24th wedding that we did. I have a photo of the set up of the ceremony and of the cake, but none of the bouquets that I put together.

For the ceremony, which was at Clovercroft Chapel in Franklin, we rented white folding chairs and tied them with alternating citrine and hot pink satin ties. On the white altar and columns (which were provided by Clovercroft), we added greenery, lighting, and florals. As aisle decor, we lined each side with 5 cylinders and uplit them with green-ish lights and added hot pink rose petals for another pop of color. It was so beautiful!
The cake was also breathtaking! The flowers that were used on the cake are the same that were used for the bouquets.
As soon as I get the photos back, I will get them on here. He is also going to send photos from when we flipped the room into a reception and of the bouquets! It looked great!
Updates from this past weekend's wedding soon... got to upload the video and photos!

Our Wedding

We got our wedding photos this past weekend! I am uploading all of them to flickr right now (username: idoweddingstn). I know that our family and friends would like to order some of them. :) I would also like to thank my team for all of their hard work, all of the wedding party, and our family and friends. We had such a beautiful and memorable day!
To finally be a bride... to finally have my day, after planning everyone else's was truly a dream come true. I also feel that I can now relate a million times better to my brides!! I hope everyone enjoys the photos below. Feel free to leave your comments!













Key West, Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios - OH MY!

On our honeymoon, we could not have asked for anything more. We visited three beautiful locations and had the time of our lives! We sailed for 6 days on the Carnival Freedom Ship to Key West, FL, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The photo below is of another ship at the Ocho Rios port. It was taken from the top of our ship.
Our room was really nice with a king size bed, closets (with robes), a vanity, couch, and a flat screen TV! The bathroom was small and the toilet's flushing power was so strong that I probably could have flushed my new hubby down the toilet. :)




Each night, when we returned to our room after our 8 o'clock 3-course dinner and 10 o'clock show :), we would have different towel animal on our bed. One night, there was a MONKEY hanging by the window! That was my favorite one!



Our first stop was Key West, FL. This was the view from our cabin window that morning. We did most of our shopping on this day b/c there was not a beach area closeby. We walked the historic area of town and had a great time!



Our next stop was Grand Cayman. The water was so rough that we could not go to the normal port where all the ships dock. We had to take a small boat (about 100 people at a time -- there were 3,000 on the boat!) to the dock. There were lots of boats, so we did not have to wait at all. At Grand Cayman, the water was the most beautiful that I had ever seen.

We also visited Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and Senor Frogs!





We visited Boatswain's Turtle Farm, too!



In Jamaica, we got to view the famous Dunn's River Falls. It was breathtaking!
Here is a view from the top of our ship of Ocho Rios.

On the plane in Fort Lauderdale...
Time to go home! :



We had an awesome time and we are already planning our next cruise!
