Alex and Sam's Wedding Day

When I first met with Alex and her mom I really fell in love with them, being referred by the florist I was so excited to hear all about their plans. I was day dreaming thinking about the vision she had for her big day. I think it all came true on Oct. 8th! It was not a picture perfect day outside because Hurricane Matthew decided to drop in the whole weekend. But it didn't matter how much it was raining and how windy it was everyone was in great spirits and had a wonderful time! Between the awesome band to a live painter and photo booth there was entertainment for everyone! The food and drinks came to impress from The Ritz with champagne waiting as they entered the ballroom and late night snacks of grilled cheese with tomato soup and milk & cookies! There was so many beautiful things to look at and the guests had to stop and touch the flower table of hydrangeas that had the escort cards on them! Everywhere you looked you could find the monogram of A&S on their menus & cake, the gold vinyl one on the dance floor and gobo lighting it was so fun to incorporate this touch into the entire wedding!
