An Enlightened Ceremony
An intimate gathering of family and friends.
The church - a grand old monastery of dark wood, tall
arches, and towering copper organ pipes. The music -
mainly performed by family members. Silver candelabras
of white and ivory flowers - larkspur, snapdragons,
roses - arranged in cascading fashion. Running down
the aisle - a white custom-made runner. Stitched into
its fabric - the bride and groom’s names along
with a saying: “Grow old with me. The best is
yet to come.”
A Reception of Awakening
Hundreds of votives cast a soft glow
to the ballroom. Tall birch trees with clusters of branches
and white blooming flowers tower from the center of
the tables. It’s all a magical midsummers night
dream. A twinkling enchanted forest.
Visions of orchids, snapdragons, and roses.
Shades of platinum and a touch of silvery lavender.
A five-layer art deco style wedding cake with a flowered
topping has the couple’s monogram printed on it.
A silver sheer overlay draped over the tables creates
dramatic textures. The ceiling is draped with flowing
fabric in shades of white, pewter and silver creating
a whimsical, yet romantic trellis spanning the entire
ballroom. Swags of silk and crystals hang from the ceiling
like the ghosts of trees surrounding a magical clearing.
On the diamond shaped dance floor, guests
dance all night over a swirling image of the new couple’s
names.
