Back in July, Chelsea and Eric got married at Beckenridge Vineyard in Dallas - one of my all time favorite venues! I love working with the staff there, and their venue is gorgeous. Plus, this was one of my favorite weddings of the year! I LOVED their colors - original, subtle, and perfect.The weather was being a little tricky (true Oregon style), so they had a tent setup "just in case" - but no rain during the ceremony or afterwards - yay! The ladies got ready in the bride's room, while the guys hung out and got ready in the amazing Belvedere Room. This is an amazing "groom's room" full with Foosball, a beer fridge, fireplace, and couch!
Chelsea looked absolutely stunning. Her dress couldn't have been more perfect (she got it from The Bridal Gallery). It was one of my favorite dresses of the year too! I loved that she had a cascading bouquet - it was gorgeous! All of the floral was provided by Denice of Distinctive Designs. She did the centerpieces as well (which we'll get to in a minute - they are superb)!
They had fans as guests entered, which had their name and table number on it. These fans were colorful, fun, and elegant with their wooden handles. Each person had a seat inside, with their name and a certain color flower to let the caterer know if the guest had RSVP'd for steak or fish. It worked beautifully!
They had a great ceremony, including a hilarious reading about wedding gifts. So unique, and it totally fit the humor of the bride and groom. Ryan from Focal Point Digital Media was there the whole day to document everything - and it's so great to be able to have a video to remember the words of the ceremony, to hear the laughter of the guests, to watch the event flow throughout the day. I definitely think that having a wedding video is priceless - and then you can relive your wedding again and again!
After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed passed appetizers and "mock" mojitos from Reed Catering, as well as wine from Chelsea's family winery! BJ the DJ provided the music, and he was great to work with! Okay, now for some details! All of the tableware was from A to Z Party Rentals, and the table linens were from Crossroads Fine Linens. Chelsea and Eric wanted to incorporate vegetables into their table arrangements, and Denice did such an amazing job. Just look at these photos! It was fun to hear all of the guests walk around, trying to decide which was their favorite, as they were ALL different! The best part? The bride and groom had me donate all of the food to the local food bank the next day. I LOVED this idea - and the food bank was SO appreciative!
Maalaea and Ian of I and M Photography took all of these amazing pictures, and I LOVE working with them! To end the day they had a classic car to drive off in - and I loved it! The bridal party got to it first and decorated it with love! Chelsea and Eric - I wish you a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness! Thank you for allowing us to share in your day with you!
