Joanna & Tim, part 2

Since Joanna had gone to school at The University of Florida, she had decided to get get married in Gainesville. Joanna & her mom made a quick trip to Gainesville a few months ago to start the planning, but most of the details were finalized over the Internet. She had ideas, but left most of the details up to the vendors she had selected. Here is her reaction when she first arrived at the reception hall. (She almost cried.)

A few of her fun details.....

Cute Orange shoes.A blue finger nail, yes GATOR pride, but more importantly to cover a black thumb nail. She had slammed the car door on her finger while visiting K-Gallery (now Verve).For a guest book she left out scrapbook materials for everyone to get creative.

For favors she made Mama's Chocolate sauce. YUMMY...Abbey has enjoyed it by dipping in a Jello Pudding Pop. Joanna said she felt like she had made so many new friends in Gainesville and wished she still lived here. She even stopped by on Monday to once again say thanks, and to buy some super cool "Just Married" magnets she had seen at the shoppe.

Rain Rain Went Away.

The rain went away for Stefanie & Andrew. Their rainy afternoon was just one of many we were to experience for the next week. I thought I'd add a few more pictured from their day. Here is Abbey modeling the flower girl flower crown.

And here is the flower girl.....what a cutie.

Here are the kissing balls we lined the aisle with. Thanks Theresa for making all 10 of them. We used white cushion mums, and for a touch of blue some spray roses, that were airbrushed.

Here is one of the groomsmen showing off his bouts, made of blue delphinium, and a salal leaf.

Here is the fantastic cake made by Jenny Wagner at Cakes by Jenny.

A candy bar was set up for guests to enjoy. It showcased Andrew & Stefanie's favorite candies.

Here is a final view of the ceremony site, with the dark clouds in the background. Luckily the shower was over quickly.

Michelle & Justin

Bright & cheery were the colors of the day on Saturday, when Michelle & Justin were wed at The Baughman Center. Michelle brought me a picture, that she wanted her flowers fashioned after. A frosted vase, filled with Gerber daisy, roses & wax flower. Her bouquet is made of yellow roses, wrapped with a section of her shawl. The bridesmaids are orange & fuchsia Gerber daisy, yellow roses & purple wax flower.

Here is Michelle & Justin as they arrive at The Paramount Plaza Hotel for their reception Michelle provided me with frosted vases for the centerpieces. She was not able to find frosted faces that she liked, so they frosted them. The arrangements were replicas of the bridesmaids bouquets, except yellow spray roses were used for a fuller look.
Cakes by Jenny provided the cupcake tower, which was used instead of a traditional wedding cake.

There was a special treat for their young guests at the reception.
Just thought I'd show you all the centerpieces, before they were delivered.

Jennifer & Michael pt. 2

Here are some great reception shots by Jason Angelini. For a special touch at the reception, we added daisy flowers to each napkin.

The cake by Cakes by Jenny, looked great with the floral accents we provided.
