They chose to have a 'First Look', where the bride and groom meet alone, before the wedding ensues.
I highly recommend it to every future couple.
You cant beat these expressions :D
Instead of a traditional arch, we framed the altar with Jean's favorite color :)
I love how kids make the simplest things adorable!
The bridesmaids dresses were a bit tricky...
The perfect color could only be found in a floor length style. Thanks to a quick thinking bridesmaid, and invaluable seamstress, these were easily altered :)
...and came out stunning :)
Word of advice; brace yourself for all kinds of nutty behavior, from the ones you love most, on your wedding day. Sad but true. In their defense, they are completely unaware of what they are doing ;)
ahem. :) Back to the wedded loveliness...
... a few more lovely details that made the day :)
...for the guest book table...
...for a table at the reception...
tip: Buy flowers in bulk, have them delivered to a trusted friend who will make your arrangements. The selection might not be as varied, but florists charge five to ten times what bulk costs.
finally some r&r for the wedding party...
AND last but not least, the best part of all....
havin a PARTY!!! :D
p.s. I would recommend having a good dj/playlist, to help everyone find their groove ;) There are no professional pic's but the MOG was seen doing the cuban shuffle ;-D
Also helpful, for an amazing wedding overall, is a stellar photographer like Alex Maldonado :)
