Another beautiful summer day, slightly overcast (great for Jenny the photographer) and a soft breeze that everyone is enjoying.
Denice from Distinctive Designs http://www.distinctive-designsonline.com/ brought different height vases of simple pink Gerber daises in water with a floating candle on top
on some tables and others had an arrangement of pink Gerber daises and accent pink flowers. Both simple and elegant.
The arch for the ceremony was also decorated with pink Gerber daises along with the aisle where a daises was placed at the foot of the BeckenRidge chairs.
Pink bows placed on top of each cupcake was a cute touch. The cake (made of foam was just for looks), cupcakes and grooms cake all were done by Marion from Myriad Cakes http://www.myriadcakedesign.com/ and there was nothing left of that grooms cake. It took a lot of restraint from all not to pluck the chocolate covered tux strawberries on top of the grooms cake.
This wedding went so smoothly having a coordinator makes all the 
difference. Janet (the coordinator) worked hard and it paid off. The bridal party was lined up on time guest were seated and this wedding was ready to go. While the ceremony was taking place Janet was taking care of the final touches (lighting floating candles) and making sure things were in 
place. A few guys after the ceremony were assigned the duty of bringing chairs from the lawn to the tables on the patios using the tractor path, helping in not obstructing the traffic flow for the guests getting back into the main room. Linens came from Crossroads in Salem and inside chairs were rented from BeckenRidge.

family and friends surround them. Then after dinner we removed one section to provide more space for dancing. Matt from Matt's Entertainment http://www.matts-entertainment.com/ had a modern setup and used his cordless mic to dismiss groups by tables for the buffet. Though depending on what table group could answer the question about the bride and groom first were then able to get their food. He was very interactive with the group and they loved it.

Food was catered by Caruso's in Keizer http://www.carusositaliancafe.com/ and they didn't stop with amazing food. The staff (especially Stephanie & husband) were respectful cheerful and very helpful; they simply went beyond most caterers. It was a pleasure having them here and hope to see them again.
Towards the end of the evening we received a little moisture from the heavens above as promised by the weatherman. With the help of Janet, Matt (DJ) and BeckenRidge staff we moved tables out of the elements. Shortly after moving furniture the sun broke leaving us all a little dazzled. How quickly the Oregon weather changes. Most guest were inside dancing and had no idea what was going on, the quick transition went nearly unnoticed. It was a great and happy day.
