Real Wedding {Martin & Barbara}

 
About Barbara: Born and raised in Indiana; Attorney turned foodie blogger. Check out her blog (I've personally tasted her food and it's delish!) www.barbaracooks.com

About Martin: Born and raised in Austria; Graphics Programmer in Video Games

How they met: eHarmony (Like so many of our couples, I love it!)

The Planning:
It was such a great experience working with Barbara & Martin. I initially met them at a bridal show where I had a booth set up. I recall speaking with them very briefly but received an e-mail from them the very next day wanting to schedule a meeting with me. We met within the same week and discussed their wedding plans. Immediately I knew I wanted to be their planner and was really hoping they decided that they wanted me to assist with their special day.  Luckily for me they did and the planning and decor discussions began. They wanted pink, pink, pink, a hint of green and help pulling the details together. The end result ended in a beautiful, fun, exciting and pink affair to remember!
The dapper groom and gorgeous and spunky bride!
The couple sawed a log in lieu of a unity candle or sand ceremony. Sawing of a log is an Austrian tradition (In Germany after the wedding bride and groom have to saw a log in half working together. This is called "Baumstamm sägen" {"tree log sawing"}. It should show how they are going to solve problems in their life. Be sure to watch the video at the end of the post to see how cute they worked together on accomplishing this.
Loved these programs the bride custom designed herself!
 
The fabulous Nancy Stevens rocked all of the floral elements!

Real Wedding: Melissa & Nate


Melissa & Nate contacted us because they attending a friend's wedding that we coordinated the Summer prior to their July 2011 wedding. The vendor line up was practically identical with the exception of a few. 

It was very easy to work with them as they simply wanted a fun and elegant affair with a tropical flair. Melissa & Nate initially stopped by a New Year's Eve Wedding that we were coordinating at Paradise Point to see us in action a second time as well as confirm their love of the venue. 

 It was a beautiful ceremony filled with love and the reception included a fantastic buffet dinner, cupcakes, and lots of dancing!

 

Such a sweet and romantic dress. It was stunning on Melissa.




It was such a gorgeous Summer day!
Such a pretty view of the ceremony from the bridge

Loved the bridesmaids dresses the were so sweet and complimented the bride's gown beautifully

The Birds of Paradise were carried throughout the wedding from the invitations, to the seating cards and of course in the bouquets and centerpieces. The flowers were the main source of color while the linens and dresses were all ivory.



The handsome groom!
