We decided to do it big, a surprise formal dinner and dance.July 31st, 09 was their anniversary and mom’s birthday so one thing we had to have was dessert and lots of it! This is one reason why it is helpful to be married to an incredible cook, love you honey!
Dante prepared 5 different types of cheesecakes, Signatures Chocolate Fondue and lots of fun items to dip in the fondue. All of the dishes you see are assorted dessert plates from various sets of china that I borrowed from family friends for a unique touch. In all we had about 7 different patterns. (Thank you ladies!)
Each table had a different picture of mom and dad in a silver or black frame, a centerpiece of white roses and curly willows (done by in-house florist and sister, Aubrey Price) and lots of votive candles on black tablecloths. Each chair had a black cover and silver tie.
The guest of honor table is shown above with a black tablecloth base, silver and black damask overlay, pillar candles, a white rose and curly willow centerpiece and their original wedding picture. We also added their names to the cutest vintage car place card holders that said “Just Married” on them.
Talk about that band!!! Jeremyck Smith and his guys (which you can see at the Elegance Bridal Gala this Thursday!) really made the atmosphere perfect! I would recommend them to anyone wanting a fabulous event. Their style was old school jazz meets new school funk. It was incredible! We knew they were good, but didn’t realize they were that good until the event started! They also learned some special pieces for us, which we truly appreciated.
Ashley Sanders (A.S. Photo) was our camera diva and got some incredible shots!
Megan Brandon (White Out) made mom's dress-it was a surprise so mom didn't know about the dress until the day of the event!
All in all, the night couldn’t have been more perfect if I planned it myself! (that was a joke :-)
Really, thank you everyone who made the night unforgettable for my parents and my family!
