Becca & Dustin – More! (Part 2)
Because of Beth’s (True Love Photo) extreme photographic talent, and never missing a design detail, I have so many fantastic pictures to share of Becca & Dustin’s June 19th home wedding. Sit back and enjoy! Becca envisioned a little bit of Southern Elegance (she and her sister spent a few Saturdays on ladders hanging Spanish Moss from the trees), and wanted to upscale the vibe by adding lots of color, crystals, and hanging lanterns. Check, check and done!
Tables were named and peacock feathers added to compliment the table linens selected. It’s always a pleasure to work with the great gals at Celebrations Party Rentals. And thank you so much to my pal Sarah with Cuttings Floral Design for the perfectly coordinated flowers. Love ‘em!
To compliment that Southern feel, The Zebra Club, our fun and accomplished bartending service, created Mint Juleps. Hummmmmm (oh, I only sampled!)
This picture has histoy to it… Beth and I have been setting up this shot for a few years. Becca and Dustin enjoy a great cold beer… thus their toasting goblets were filled.
And, have you ever seen a wedding cake that followed with the theme so beautifully? Carissa with Sugar and Spice Specialty Desserts really outdid herself! What a focal piece!
Becca ‘s mom and dad love to garden and the entrance to their property had a long driveway lined with all sorts of flowers. Daisies, cosmos, dahlias and a beautiful crop of just beginning to bloom sunflowers.
I gave Becca the suggestion of making a bride & groom scaregrow, as it seemed so fitting with the garden. She had the best time shopping in thrift stores for what she referred to as “the ugliest ’70s style wedding gown.” Rather than a top hat for the groom, they used a Billibong logo baseball cap.
After a scrumption and plentiful buffet dinner prepared by Bravo Pasteria, wedding cake, fun at the photo booth (complete with goofy hats) by Jensen Films, then the dancing began, under the light of paper lanterns. Doug & Dara with Music on the Move added some wonderful special touches and a little interactive frivolity, and then the p-a-r-t-y dancing began. Crewful at 10:00? NOT!
Thank you Becca and Dustin, and also your wonderful families. It was a delight to work with you over the year. I’m going to miss you! You’re great parents to baby Coralynne. Enjoy your wedded life and your beautiful family. Also a huge thank you to all the vendors who worked so hard and so caringly to create a fantastic day for this couple.
Becca & Dustin – Married! (Part 1)
I had the best year working with Becca on her June 19th home wedding. She is the sweetest girl, with the most loving family. Dustin is the nicest gentleman… a real keeper (if you ask me)! Becca and Dustin have been together since high school; soul mates, friends, and now proud parents to little baby Coralynne – who was a huge hit at the wedding! I received a disk with a zillion images from the most wonderful photographer in all the world – Beth Baugher of True Love Photo. So, here you go with Part 1!! This first shot is of the wedding rings, held by the Best Man. How perfectly appropriate!
The above photos of Becca is so lovely. The ever so talented Shana Beals did the make-up artisty for the bride and several bridesmaids. I loved the bridesmaids dresses and the fab colors of the bouquets. Peacock feathers was one of the underlying themes to the day, and our fabulous florist, Sarah with Cuttings Floral Design, really outdid herself with the design concept. Wait until you see more in Part 2!
Sarah is quite the seamstress and she custom designs ring bearer pillows, too… soooo perfect; just darling!
Meet baby Coralynne… Becca and Dustin’s 10 month old little sweetie! We thought a halo of ”Baby’s Breath” was appropriate for this little angel. She sat in a beautifully decorated wagon and was pulled by Dustin’s young brothers, the ring bearers. I had the sign made for the wagon by Lara of The Calligraphy Girl... pure delight.
Come back in the next couple of days for more beautiful photos… design and special touches abound.
