Tara & Jeff's Luau Wedding

Tara and Jeff came to me with over a year to go before their wedding date. They had a vision and just needed some help putting it all together, which I was happy to do. They had the church and the setting (Tara's brother's beautiful backyard in Wallingford) and the theme (a luau pig roast!). This made for a fun and laid back tented reception, complete with a tiki bar, lais, and a pig roast catered by Cast Iron Soul.

The bride's flowers, created by FloraBella Florist, consisted of a round, hand tied bouquet of 9 white dendrobium orchids and 7 pink nerine lilys with a touch of greenery. Beautiful!



Tara's hair and makeup was done the morning of the wedding by M Salon & Spa in Wallingford.


The handsome groom, Jeff!


The church was very modern looking. So pretty.


Man and wife!


So happy!


These were the favors that we placed at each seat. Beer koozies! How fun!


We did much of the set up the day before the wedding, which was pretty difficult because it was SO windy that day! The color scheme of the wedding was pink and gray, so those were the colors of the linens on the tables and many of the decorations. Check out the tiki torches in the background!


Each guest got "laid" at their seats :)


The full view of the tented event!


How cute are these? They are the guests' place cards. Umbrellas sticking out of a sandbox with labels displaying the guests' names.


These fun centerpieces were the bride's idea. She provided the tiki heads and FloraBella Florist did the rest!



So fun!


The delicious food, including the pig roast, was provided by Cast Iron Soul. This is only a fraction of the beautiful spread that they put out!


And of course, we can't forget about the chocolate fountain with all the fix 'ins!


Congratulations to Tara & Jeff! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!
