The Flower of Love ....

There is no getting around it… no rose color says passion like RED!!! This past weekend our newlyweds, Christina and James, accented their wedding with red roses and the color red. The couple set the tone for their special day with their on-site ceremony. Christina walked down the isle wearing a dress dripped with roses that matched her bouquet of flowers perfectly! James also was wearing a single red rose boutonnière and red vest. Their theme continued into the ballroom where their guests saw a three tiered wedding cake wrapped in red ribbon, red sashes on the chairs and red napkins on each place setting! Check out the pictures below …

Love is the Spice of Life ...

This past weekend we celebrated the marriage of Anna & Nathan and of Melissa and Joseph! Both of our newlyweds got married off-site and both of them spiced up their wedding reception!

Anna and Nathan started off the day! The newlyweds entertained their guests with the sweet sounds of a harp player during cocktail hour and with a band for the reception ….The band did the entire reception in Polish and English! How cool is that! After dinner the couple surprised their guests with a cigar roller! But what I think was the most touching part of their day….was when Nathan not only gave Anna a ring….he gave her daughter one too! (I wish I were at the ceremony to see it! Anna’s daughter was so excited when she showed me her new bling!)

Melissa and Joseph finished the day and kept the excitement going at The Rosewood! Melissa surprised her guests and her new hubby with an amazing groom’s cake! A replica of the groom’s car!!…I loved it! Not only was I in love with the cake…I was crazy about their glass engraved gift box! It sparkled just like Melissa’s bouquet of roses!

Heart and Soul...

This past weekend we celebrated the marriage of Alma and Oscar. Our newlyweds said “I do” off-site prior to their wedding reception at The Rosewood. Alma and Oscar, like all couples, have the task of figuring out their wedding day style. For some, it is a color scheme that will capture their wedding day style, others it is a theme like a sunset, garden or the season Fall, and for some it could possibly be an adjective like modern, preppy or peaceful. For Alma and Oscar their wedding day style was all about the color!!! They choose the color purple and had it shine through their sashes, napkins, and flowers!

Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth…
Love is like a lovely rose, the world’s delight.
