The bride requested that all flowers - bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces consist of a single type of white flowers with no greenery. The bride carried white peonies ( a find in July), the maids, white french tulips, and the men wore white freesia. The pews were marked with white hydrangea and altar pieces consisted of french tulips in a base of hydrangea (slight breaking of the rule).Centerpieces were white dendrobium orchids. Uplighting and pin spotting by Blue Steel Lighting Design highlighted the florals and gave the room a soft glow.


White phaelenopsis orchids accent the cake. Silver dotted ribbon on the candles mimic the design on the cake.














The whole event was about community - the bride grew up with the restaurant owner, one neighbor, a judge, performed the ceremony, another baked the cake!
I love this image of Cara, so beautiful and serene. That's how she was throughout the planning. Of course she has some amazing sisters that looked out for her at every turn. Then there is her awesome mom Peggy. Love her - and her sassy hat!
The wedding party was made up of family and friends. They were a blast.
Besides the fabulous scenery and people, the food was amazing and the service excellent. Nothing more could be asked. It was a magical day and we were thrilled to be a part of it. Check back for a look at the reception and lovely details!
