I don’t know whether it was the blood, sweat and tears, and I do mean a lot of tears, that went into planning our wedding that made me want detail pictures so much, or if it was just so that I could always have these visual reminders of everything that was seen, heard, and enjoyed from the most perfect night of my life, thus far. Either way, I am so happy that Perez Photography (all photos below credit to them) went out of their way to capture these images.

One of the larger table arrangements. I believe that we had a total of five different floral arrangements for the various tables.

The head table. While everyone else sat at circulars, we got a nice big rectangle with florals that weren’t too high, so we could see everyone sitting with us. The damask runner and details in the room were all provided by our florist, Bella Flora. They completely outdid any expectations that I had for the florals and killed (in a good way) the room that night.

Our room in green with our monogram on the floor. Lite Dallas (who also happens to be owned by our DJ Andy Austin) did an incredible job at pinspotting the arrangements, the gobo on the dancefloor and the lighting around the room. The colors changed throughout the night and really gave the room a great feeling.

The cake. By far my only disappointment with our entire wedding. I hate that you can see the foil from the board that it’s on. The monogram was supposed to be in fondant, not icing, and the layers were supposed to be more distinct in different sizes. The groom’s cake (seen in later pictures) was only black with white borders. It was also supposed to have a monogram on it and, when we cut into it, it was the wrong flavor. My mistake for choosing a lesser known bakery to do our cakes. They looked semi-decent on camera, so oh well. You can’t win everything.

The table numbers designed by me and my final choice of table number stands.

My last minute station signs that were placed in frames on the various food stations.

The cakes. Note the groom’s cake. On another note, those cake stands that you see were actually made of steel (and VERY heavy) by my dad. I gave him the task to create the stands, and boy did he do that. You can’t see the detail of the stand, but they were plain, simple, modern and fit the room well. One is now on our front porch as our pumpkin stand. It holds 3 multi-sized pumpkins - they were seriously that big!

Yum - food! Many people said that they didn’t think that we had enough and in hindsight we probably should have ordered more. We also think that they weren’t used to the station idea so they kept going to the same one instead of wandering around the room.

Up next, a few more details and then we’re on to the best part of the night - the entertainment!
