"From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home".

Love was in the air this weekend as three fantastic couples were wed in our garden room.  Saturday evening began with Rachel and Pete.  We loved their whimsical wedding!  Rachel paid close attention to each detail and it was beautiful, the sunflower bouquets and centerpieces were the perfect touch to a warm spring day.  I really liked how their theme spoke about them, each table was identified from a video game, how fun and UNIQUE!!

Sunday morning began with Lozelle and Yusuf saying “I DO”.  Their bridal party looked wonderful in green and salmon.  Loved their colorful centerpieces and adorable love bird cake topper. Their vision of understated elegance was lovely…and kept all eyes on our beautiful bride!

Sunday evening began with Kakinda and Brian doing their first look in our photo gardens.  Brian and Kakinda were so excited to finally see each other! The bridal party looked sensational in their gray tuxes and coral gowns. I loved their cake with gray and coral trim…so pretty.  Guest ended their evening of dancing at the KaBoom Kandy Korner.

How did the season start? With a little boy who stole our heart....

This weekend The Rosewood was in full swing and loving every minute of being a part of so many wonderful events.  Wishing wells were filled, blessings were given, milestones were celebrated, and vows were said.  After a whirl wind three days we wound down with a very special couple.  As the rain came down outside it seemed like pure sunshine preparing Omaria and Jiopinson for their ceremony.  With such a busy weekend Patty and Danielle found a little helper for the office, Noah, Omaria and Jiopinson’s son.  While Noah answered phones mom was doing her finishing touches in the bridal sweet, and wow did Omaria look beautiful.  Jiopinson and Omaria’s intimate ceremony and reception was the perfect ending to a weekend full of once in a lifetime moments, it brought home to all of us what an honor it is to be able to make your significant day the perfect day!

Butterfly Kisses...

Melinda and Jose said “I Do” Saturday evening. They transformed their reception with blue butterflies. Butterflies represent the soul. In Greek myth, Psyche, which literally translates to mean soul, is represented in the form of a butterfly. Befittingly, Psyche is forever linked with love as she and Eros (the Greek god of love) shared an endless passionate bond together, both hopelessly in love with the other. Butterflies were the perfect theme to express the bond of Melinda and Jose's souls, which will remain hopelessly in love with each other.

The Rose ballroom looked breath taking with royal blue touches. Blue is calm and tranquil and signifies loyalty, wisdom, confidence, truth, and trust which are all fundamental qualities of marriage. From their colorful fresh flower centerpieces, blue sashes and napkins, the incredible blue butterfly cake, and blue up-lighting the room looked remarkable. Details of a wedding tell so many unsaid things about the couple both as individuals and who they are together in unity. Congratulations Melinda and Jose may your soul’s forever soar together and your endless loves like the butterfly know no bounds.
