Wow.  All I can say is w-o-w.

It was the most beautiful wedding yesterday – complete with the most gorgeous and happy bride – soft, elegant color palette of blush and champagne – and candles, candles, candles.

The bridal bouquet featured stunningly scented blush English Garden Roses, Champagne Roses, Blush Spray Roses, and Champagne Spray Roses.  It was a vision of springtime, and frankly I couldn’t stop staring at it lovingly all day long.

Just as lovely – the Maid of Honor bouquet featured the season’s finest:  ruffed blush Parrot Tulips, pink Hydrangea, blush Spray Roses and Garden Roses, and Champagne Spray Roses.  Yum.

Almost as sweet as the stunning bride, the Flower Girl and Petite Attendants carried blush raw silk pouches, with champagne swiss silk ribbon handles, filled with blush Rose Petals to scatter down the aisle as they processed.

I fell in love all over again yesterday – these girls were just plain delicious.  I couldn’t get enough of them.  If you think they are darling here, you should have seen them twirling all over the dancefloor with their dads and the rock star bride all night long.

There is so much – like the length of a novel – that I want to share about Nicole, my beautiful bride.  Like how she so beautifully created a family centric wedding day for everyone, making the celebration all the more meaningful for each and every guest.  Like how she was always so inclusive – insisting both of her fathers – dad and stepdad walk her down the aisle together, arm in arm.  And to make it all the more important, we had mom and stepmom waiting at the middle of the aisle, to meet the three of them, and all five – all the parents who raised and guided her through life, gave her away at the altar.

Like how she dreamed of a cocktail style, lounge reception, with warm, intimate candlelit lanterns filling the entire space.  And how she spent the entire day, laughing, embracing, dancing, exclaiming, grinning ear to ear – and herself being the very vision of warmth and romance.

The lounge was a chic respite with alternating submerged and arranged rectangular vases and hundreds of votive candles.  The fabulous artwork collections in The Tasting Room, along with the amber uplights and well worn exposed brick walls created the ultimate canvas for the uber chill wedding reception.
