Emily and Ted October 28th, 2010

Here are the before pictures from Jason Angelini, I am definitely not a photographer so I thought I would start off with these great shots from Emily and Ted's Engagement shoot and one of the teasers from their wedding before my own shots... a tough act to follow :)
I absolutely adored Emily's purple and green color scheme, it is truly one of my favorites, even when I was designing I would always end up with that when it was "designer's choice"! I loved Emily's dress, it was beautiful and simple and perfect for a balmy October beach wedding!
Stephanie from Fish Hawk Flowers did an amazing job on all the florals, something I am very particular about. I had no complaints with her gorgeous work, especially loved the arch of curly willow.

I had the pleasure of officiating for the couple while Angela got everyone down the aisle safe and sound. The couple wrote a touching, personal, and meaningful ceremony with some help from me and it had a great poem in it that the bride's nephew recited-
To Keep Your Marriage Brimming – Ogden Nash
To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong admit it;
Whenever you’re right shut up.

I think Angela was working on her photojournalistic skills with the sea oats billowing in the breeze in the foreground here...


The couple had a fun little mini theme incorporated into their wedding. Along with the color scheme Emily created a little Monty Python tribute with a wooden sign that was first at the ceremony and then we moved over to reception, along with Yay! Flags for each guest to wave at the recessional and again when the couple was introduced. The table names were titles of some of the couples favorite movies, Uncle Buck and Dumb and Dumber to name just a few... LOL



A simple and elegant cake from Chef Nelson, did I mention yummy too?

There was a gorgeous sunset as we began the reception on the deck at the Tradewinds Resort in St. Petersburg, I always enjoy working there- the staff is great to work with.



Just as the sun was down Rob Vollmar from Grant Hemond was there to introduce the new Mr. and Mrs. You can see a peek of the 85 lanterns and several string of lights that Angela and I hung to denote the reception space and dance floor. It was HARD work but it looked amazing! A whole day's work right there :)

All in all it was a great day! The couple was so fun to work with and the day was amazing. Best wishes for a happy marriage as you head back to chilly Vermont!
