Crystal and Mike, Oct. 3, 2013

Strong winds at the Ritz Carlton forced Crystal and Mike's wedding ceremony indoors, which in turn, created a romantic and intimate atmosphere.  Their love was shared and their vows were said in front of a crowd of close family and friends.

Crystal's all-white bouquet was created with fragrant garden roses, gardenias, mini calla lilies, and hydrangea for a truly elegant design.  Mike matched his bride wearing a boutonniere designed with a white mini calla lily and fresh greenery.

Their indoor ceremony space was decorated with rose petals down the center of the aisle, and carnation kissing balls on the chairs lining the aisle.  Their altar was decorated with two large arrangements of hydrangea, mums and roses.  In a sweet gesture, Mike handed Crystal a white rose to place on a chair in memory of Crystal's mother, who she lost over the summer.  It's that kind of thoughtfulness that really gave us and their guests a glimpse of their love for each other.

The reception was elegant and intimate.  Guest tables were decorated with either a trio of floral designs (with bunches of tulips, roses and hydrangea) or a trio of floating candles with submerged orchids.  Each guest was favored a purple mini calla lily which incorporated a bit of their wedding color palette.  The arrangements from the altar and the kissing balls front the aisle were repurposed to decorate Crystal and Mike's sweetheart table. 

We would especially like to thank Lesli Mac and the staff at the Ritz Carlton for being so kind to us, and so caring of the couple (they gifted Crystal a beautiful arrangement for a special "In Memory" table dedicated to her mother).  We'd also like to thank Andrew Weeks Photography for capturing all the special details of Crystal and Mike's special day.  We hope you enjoy the designs as much as we enjoyed creating them for this lovely couple.
