{Jessica & Michael @A La Carte Event Pavilion}

October 30, 2013 Carrie Wildes

Jessica and Michael had so much gorgeousness going on this one took me forever to choose what to tell the story! With 15 bridesmaids, 15 groomsmen and 250 guests there is a lot to tell:-) Jessica and her girls got ready at her house, I love the excitement of hair and makeup, and just all the fun moments with the girls. Michael and the boys got ready at the Doubletree and were just so fun and laid back. Their little ring bearer Peter was the cutest! Jessica arrived in a Rolls Royce with her dad and walked down the aisle at Idlewild Baptist Church. It was a really sweet and personal ceremony and you could just feel how excited they were to finally be married!

The reception was simply breath taking!!! I don't think there are words to describe how gorgeous the room at A La Carte Pavilion was decorated. Purple was the color of the day. Purple bridesmaids dresses, purple chocolate fountain, purple flowers, purple up lighting! White draping boxed in the dance floor and gathered in the center, showcasing a huge crystal chandelier. Alternating tall glass floral centerpieces and three tiered glass vases with floating candles and florals were the centerpieces. Everything from Jessica's gown, to the linens on the sweet heart table, the stems of the champaign goblets, and the cake topper were all dripped in "bling"! Jessica and Michael really had a lot of unique details that made it really fun and personal. They had a sign with their Instagram # to let their guests know to share that when posting photos. Dinner was broken up into courses and each course had a dance intermission which was such a great idea. The flower girls had on ballet slippers and the ring bearers changed into tuxedo shirts for the reception. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Michael and Jessica were hoisted above the crowd in their chairs for a traditional Italian dance. The cake was draped in pink roses and their guests enjoyed all kinds of desserts and pastries. We even snuck away a few pics on the dock out back:-) An amazing and beautiful time had by all!! Congrats Jessica and Michael!!!! xoxoxox
