Polka dots of pink and whimsical
décor…
A movie starlet bride and
a vintage allure…
On a bright summer afternoon, where
pink polka dots spotted the land, and fashions of yesteryear
added a touch of nostalgia, it was happily ever at
this oh so eclectic wedding ceremony and reception
at the father of the bride’s sprawling property
in St. Louis.
Love in the Afternoon: Ah,
the exquisite outdoor ceremony. The day couldn’t
have been more perfect. Guests were transported to
an era of elegance from the 1950s. The bride appeared
in a vintage cocktail halter dress with navy blue piping,
her hair curled like a movie starlet. A jazz quartet
provided the romantic interludes. The newly ordained
father of the bride performed the ceremony as the bright
sun shined down upon the new couple and their guests.
Some Like it Pink: Guests
congregated within the massive tent for the dinner
and reception. Polka dots swirled throughout the space.
Tables were decorated with “Fuchsia Imperial
Stripe” cloth with crisp, white padded folding
chairs along side. Guests received a keepsake of a
single martini glass with a pink dot and a little message
within.
The buffet was a wonderful blend of excellent
dishes, including Chicken Cognac, Vegetable Napoleon,
and many other delectable delights. Tall centerpieces
florally enhanced the entire room. The jazz quartet
added their romantic sophistication to the atmosphere.
As dinner ended, an energetic East Coast
Style Deejay promptly tore the roof off the tent spinning
up-tempo, vinyl classics that mixed electronic music
with a jazzy vibe. Guests danced and partied throughout
the evening.
At the stroke of midnight, a 1950s white,
vintage Rolls Royce sedan pulled up the driveway of
the residence. The driver stepped out of the car, opened
the back door, and beckoned the bride and groom. Guests
watched in awe as the lovely couple hopped in the Rolls,
and drove away into the night to begin their new lives
together.
