Jessica & Matt – April Wedding

August 4, 2017 By Wendy Leave a Comment

When a Smith and a Smith get married, they become Smithsquared!

The lighting in April is so clear and fresh and PERFECT for weddings! Matt and Jessica had the ultimate 72 degree day for their mid-April wedding. The 6 p.m. ceremony was held in a corral with live musicians playing. Bridesmaid’s wore dresses of cobalt blue (horizon) and the groomsmen were in pale gray suits. The flowers were whites and spring green with just a touch of blue. This was such a gorgeous wedding!

Each place setting at the reception was set with silver chargers and white plates. The couple topped the plate with their wrapped cookie party favor. Koozies were by the bar as an additional party favor. Photography was provided by Taylor Cline.

Anna & Sean – May Wedding

May 23, 2017 By Wendy Leave a Comment

One of the sweetest, most adorable couples I’ve ever met were married last May. Anna’s step-father performed the ceremony and walked her down the first half of the aisle then handed her off to her bio dad while her step-dad then took his place as minister. Sean literally bounced with excitement when he first saw Anna come down the aisle. It was emotional and lovely.

Anna’s unique dress had a back floral applique detail with bling closure. The bridesmaids wore soft, flowing gray dresses and the groomsmen wore suspenders. Burgundy accents in the flowers and navy tablecloths with natural touches of burlap, wood, and lace completed the look. Photography of the couple’s engagement, bridals, and wedding was by Taylor Cline.

June 2, 2014 By Wendy Leave a Comment

There is nothing like a June wedding! Kailey and Werther had PERFECT weather for their June 1st wedding. The groom and his ushers/swordsmen were in full uniform for this romantic and elegant wedding. Cline’s florist provided the beautiful arbor decoration for the ceremony and also provided the bouquets, boutonnieres, and hydrangeas for the reception centerpieces. The couple provided a “guest book” was a fingerprint tree.

The appetizer menu included bruschetta, fruit kebabs, chicken wings, bacon wrapped chicken, mini quiches, and BBQ buddies. The beautiful wedding cake, provided by the 1812 Hitching Post, had a red velvet layer between two butter yellow layers. It was decorated with this gray ribbon and lilac roses. The couple danced a salsa medley for their first dance together. The reception tables looked beautiful with lilac overlays and gray chair sashes. The bride provided all centerpiece items. A sparkler send-off followed an evening of fun.
