3.20.2010 Wedding - Made for Each Other

Ashly and Jake got married a few months ago at Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City. The casino offers great packages that include decor, cake, catering, you name it! The bride looked stunning, and it was amazing to watch Jake's face as he saw her for the first time as she walked down the aisle. Ashly and Jake had framed pictures of both sets of their parents by their guest book, which was a very sentimental touch that the parents and guests loved! They also hand-signed each individual program that was carefully set on each chair for the ceremony. They even had a special chair painted, decorated, and set aside for a family member that was only able to attend in spirit. The bride's bouquet was preserved with real flowers (so it will look the same as it did on the wedding day for years and years to come), and the flowers were a perfect match to the wedding colors!

Ashly's maid of honor made cards that matched the theme and color of the wedding for guests to write words of wisdom and nice thoughts for the bride and groom. It was such a thoughtful idea, and the guests had a great time filling them out for the new Mr. and Mrs.! There was a plated dinner (made by the talented in-house caterer) which was followed by a tasty cake by Cherished Moments, Inc. which also provides flowers, invitations, help with formal wear, and numerous other things! The cake had numerous flavored layers, and had amazing detail! Another part of the package at Chinook Winds Casino includes a glass-blown ball specially made for the couple to remember their wedding by. It was beautiful!

I think one of my favorite parts of the wedding was the very heartfelt speeches made by both fathers. They both talked about how Ashly and Jake were made for each other and how blessed they felt to have each of them join their families. I loved working with Ashly and Jake and sharing in all of their joy. Congrats you two!
