First wedding of the 2010 Season

Well the birds are singing the clouds are breaking up showing us some blue skies and we are loving the warmth on our faces.

What a perfect day for a wedding, a little chilly for those that came from Hawaii and Arizona but so far they are managing. :)

The florist arrived with beautiful arrangements for the front doors and arches along with the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. All very simple and easy to clean up at the end of the day.

Adding to their easy setup they choose to rent BeckenRidge ivory linens and Italian chairs inside and out (we took care of all the setup & tear down).

The bride and her attendants arrived in style, DC Limousine http://www.dcoregon.com/ dropped off the girls and went back to pickup the next group.

Tanya from KGB Designs Photography arrived shortly there after with her crew ready to start documenting the day. Before I could turn around Marion from Myraid Cakes http://www.myriadcakedesign.com/ arrived and actually decorated the cake on site, cool to watch.

We had a new caterer Yummies Cowboy Cuisine 541-891-1208 from Klamath Falls, can't believe they came this far, but Norm & Virgina (owners) insist they will go anywhere. The food was mouth watering, the display was very simple and the humor from Norm never ended. :) The whole staff was very pleasant and great to be around.

Things moved along smoothly, the arrival of the Oregon State Acappella Group and the ring bearer, I have to say, were the highlight. The Acappella Group was a first for BeckenRidge and to see these guys sing stopped even the song birds for a moment. The all black attire with an OSU orange tie was very fitting for this group.

The orange and black didn't stop there, the ring bearer took the orange to a whole new power. Check this out. I wish I would of gotten a picture of the bride (rocken Beaver orange heals) & groom's (Converse w/ orange shoe laces) shoes too.

This group definitely had traditional and non traditional points during their wedding day. The bride & groom opted not to see each other before the ceremony. However, the difference for the ceremony was the guys entered on the pathway by the water fountain and the girls entered from the covered patio path.

Then they met on the lawn and this also went for the bride and meeting her dad (dad first time seeing her in her dress) on the lawn and then continued walking towards the arbor.

After the ceremony they had a receiving line on the lawn then went into pictures while guest busied themselves with appetizers, wine and beer on the covered patio.

They did have the traditional toast, dancing, tossing the bouquet and garter toss all fun and emotional, especially during the toast for the bride.

As the evening winded down guest began to leave and the bride and groom said their goodbye's and purposely made it that they were the last to leave. This I must say was the most nontraditional thing they did all day. It was great to see them fully enjoying the last bit of their time overlooking the vineyard and spending it with each other.

The limo did come back for them with no departing goodbye's from their guest, I felt it was my duty to take the last picture of them getting into their limo and riding into the sunset. It was a great day and what a better way to start off the 2010 wedding season.
