Tis the Season …

I absolutely LOVE the holiday season. It really is “the most magical time of the year”. Poinsettias, wreaths, icicles and lights … you name it and we have it! Not only is December the most magical time of year, but it is the perfect month for romance. The dim lighting and heat created by our fireplace adds the right touch of warmth to a cold and chilly night. It provides the perfect ambiance for a winter wonderland wedding! This past Saturday, on December 4th, Michele and Mario were married in our Grand Ballroom. It was a beautiful ceremony and the night continued with a fun and festive reception. Michele and Mario added their own holiday cheer by decorating our fireplace with stockings and pictures of family and friends. In our Grand Ballroom, red table runners added the perfect pop of color and guests were greeted with ornament place cards. All in all, it was a truly festive celebration!

Trotting Down the Aisle ...

This past Saturday, Christina and Hunter celebrated their vows under our beautiful garden gazebo OUTSIDE on the 20th of November … can you believe it?! A fun and shabby chic horse-themed reception followed in our Grand Ballroom. Being that Christina is a vet and avid horse lover, how could they not incorporate horses into their reception? Everything including their place cards, table names and favors was centered on the couple’s shared affection for these lovable animals. Traditional and playful fashions mixed together for this fabulously fun theme, which was sophisticated, but had some homegrown style. Sean Patrick was nice enough to give me a sneak peek of the photos and here is one of my favorites!
