Weddings


We had the most gorgeous bride and groom at our last wedding.

She is small and blonde, he is tall and dark.

The wedding was held in the Oklahoma History Center. The dome room is topped off with a wonderful old airplane. It is floor to ceiling windows that feature a wonderful view of the state capital building. The sight at night is worthy of any photographer.

The bride loves hot pink. In fact, she wore hot pink high heels to the wedding. They were just the nicest touch for her beautiful lace and jeweled dress.

Early on in our consultation, the bride and I had decided that we really needed the sophistication of black and hot pink to keep the guest attention on the bride and groom and not up in the air staring at the airplane. So we used black on black tablecloths, black chair covers and hot pink sashes.

The centerpieces were tall vases filled with stems of tree branches with pink orchids tied to them. We added little silver baskets containing those cute battery operated candles to the branches which created a little sparkle all night. At the top of each vase, we had a necklace of hydrangea, orchids and roses in several shades of pink. They simply set off the tables. We decided to use white china to finish off the elegant look. Close your eyes and imagine how stunning that looked.

The food was very different for our firm's usual client but the style and selection were very important to our bride. The food was mostly organic and was all served family style from clear glass bowls. The roast fell off the fork, the mashed potatoes were so delicious and light. They did a variety of vegetables in a mild oil. My favorite was the zuchini. They brought waitstaff that was properly dressed, on time and were so polite and well trained.

The DJ service is one we have used before and still love them. They come prepared for just about every aspect of the event. They even found a way to have Eastern European music for the groom's family. They had the entire wedding party up on the dance floor. I told you they were great.

The bartender service was one we have used before and will use again and again. They are really great. They keep things moving and the guests don't have to stand in line to wait for a drink. Thanks guys. We really did appreciate your hard work.

The cake was done by a company that we have only used once or twice before. It looked amazing. White on white with the only color being the floral topper. The bride's cake was four different layers and each layer was a different flavor. Chocolate with fudge filling, white with raspberry cream filling, lemon with lemon curd filling and red velvet with cream cheese filling. Yes, you are reading it correctly: each layer was really two layers thick. It was beautiful and it melted in your mouth. The groom's cake was a replica of his country's flag and was red velvet filled with cream cheese filling, This cake is so moist. We may have found our new favorite bakery.

Overall, a wonderful event for a sweet couple. We wish them all the happiness in the world.
Can't wait for the photographs so you can see the hot pink heels.
