Our bridesmaids wearing burgundy. Groomsmen were in navy blue with a burgundy tie. Father of the Bride and father of the groom we’re both in Gray. We did a lot of greenery with succulents.

Did you have a first look before the ceremony? If yes, how can you describe that moment?

Yes, we did do the first look. I think we were both so nervous we didn’t know what to do when we saw each other. We just stood there for a few minutes just staring at each other.  

Tell us about your cocktail hour and reception! What was on the menu? Did you have any special entertainment?

Oh, the food was absolutely delicious. We had prime rib and crab cake as our main entree. And the cake was even better. We had two different flavors 1 was white chocolate with a raspberry cheesecake filling and the other was a chocolate with chocolate ganache filling.

Which element(s) of your day best reflect you as a couple? What did you do to make guests feel special?
