Jeana & Mike

Jeana and Mike were one of the nicest couples I have had the pleasure of working with. They were so laid back and just so sweet. It was easy to tell how much they loved each other just by the way they acted together, and I wish them all the happiness in the world.

The day started at the couple's house where the beautiful flowers created by Branford Flower Shop were delivered to Jeana and her bridal party. Reflections by Kari did a fabulous job with all the photos, starting with the "getting ready" shots.

The brides gorgeous hand-tied bouquet was designed by Branford Flower Shop. It consisted of blue hydrangea, white casa blanca lilies, white and pink roses accented by lemon leaf.

I love this shot of Jeana in sepia tone!

Gorgeous! The detail on Jeana's dress and veil was amazing.

Here is the bride's sister and Maid of Honor, Tyna, helping her up the church steps. We were waiting inside the church with the rest of the bridal party, ready to go!

It's almost show time! Jeana's final moments as a single girl. She's about to make Mike a very happy man.

The man of the hour (well, his boutonniere at least).

I set up the unity candle for the ceremony.

These place cards were such a good idea! They were bottles of blue lemonade with labels displaying names and table numbers that doubled as favors. Cute and multi-purpose!

Card box!

I absolutely LOVED these centerpieces! The bride made them herself. They are white branches with hanging beads and a swatch of blue fabric at the base. They balanced two glass votive holders and candles. They almost remind me of the chandeliers hanging in Cascade's ballroom!

These are adorable favors. Chocolate covered pretzels wrapped with a personalize tag and ribbon. YUM!

The wish jar! Guests were able to leave a wish for the happy couple to be read later.  We put the wish jar on top of the piano in the foyer along with a few other special items.

Cute chair signs! There were also signs for the parents of the bride and groom, maid of honor, and best man.

What a beautiful cake! Love the blue layer in the middle.  The silver cake stand adds elegance and class to the display.

Close up!

Look at this happy couple...gotta love those smiles!

A memory candle for family members who could not be with Jeana & Mike on their wedding day. Three of these were also set up on the piano.

Ladies!

Cascade is absolutely beautiful! I love the chandeliers and the wood floor. The oval tables are unique and elegant as well. Chivari chairs are so stylish and clean looking...very classy.

Sweetheart table =) We brought the floral arrangements from the church and set them on the ends of this table.  I really love the branches coming out of the arrangements.

Jeana and Mike's family and friends signed their guest book, leaving them fond memories of their wedding day.

Jeana and her dad dancing. How sweet!

After the guests took their place cards/favors, we set up this candy buffet on the same table. The guests were invited to fill up bags to take home with them and enjoy as a sweet reminder of a fabulous day.

I believe this was their first dance. They danced to Kenny Chesney's "Good Stuff". I was totally crying in the corner! I LOVE that song!!!

A close up of the centerpiece with the candles lit. So pretty!

Holy Venetian Table!

Dancing the night away...

This was the first wedding I worked at Cascade and Rosa and her staff were wonderful. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. I can't wait to go back! Thank you Cascade for such a pleasurable working experience!

And a special thank you to Reflections by Kari for providing us with these fantastic pictures! You really captured the emotions of the day. Thank you for sharing.
