I am just coming back to reality from spending the weekend working four different events. Whew. It was definitely a busy one. We had a prom, a high school jazz fest, a career fair (that Amanda worked) and two weddings. The weather was iffy on and off; it rained a lot and the fog coming off the lake was a little out of control! On Saturday the wedding ceremony was able to be set up outside under the overhang facing the museum. I’d never seen it set up like that, and it was actually really pretty!
Yesterday the weather was beautiful but windy! It was forecasted to rain, and at the last minute the bride decided to move everything onto Fitch Plaza while the sun was shining. I watched the radar carefully, (the meteorologist coming out in me), seeing the thunderstorms moving our way hoping that the weather would hold out until their ceremony was over. And it did, but just barely. I warned our maintenance guy that severe weather was coming and that taking down the outside set up sooner than later might be a good idea. Within minutes of him finishing up, it started thundering and raining. By that time, everyone from the wedding was inside and couldn’t have cared less what the weather was doing!! And I got to watch from the office as lightening struck over the lake.
There were a few unique things that stood out from the weekend, besides the weather, particularly from Sunday’s event. The colors were black, white and lime green. The bridesmaids’ dresses were to die for; v-necked black cocktail dresses with lime green wraps to match. But the bride’s dress was by far the most interesting I have seen in a long time. It was a traditional A-line strapless dress with a train, and a bright white color, but the embroidering was all done in black. It was really quite stunning. Their set up was simple and classy, and I loved their candle centerpieces. But the one thing that really took my breath away was their cake topper, designed to look just like the bride and groom!! Absolutely adorable!
Really cool light up bar the couple rented to use for their buffet!
The cake was really simple, but the topper was amazing!
It looked just like them!! Note they are holding vide game controllers too!
