Wednesday, Sept. 15th wedding

The day started out with partly cloudy with a chance of showers later in the evening. As the bridal party arrived the clouds looked like they would stay at bay for a while. The girls got ready in the private room for the bride enjoying the Bella package, while the guys indulged in the Belvedere room (which was a surprise gift to them). Luckily the bridal party started taking pictures around 1p and was able to take pictures on the lawn and by the vineyard before the real rain came in.





At about 3 o'clock the light rain became a little bit heavier and never stopped. Bringing the plan A ceremony on the lawn to a plan C inside the main room in front of the fireplace.

Everything worked out with ceremony inside most guest sat at the tables they were assigned to, with a great theme and centerpieces that were very entertaining no matter what your age.



Each table had a city/state/country that the bride and groom had been to along with a picture of the happy couple in that location.





Instead of a traditional floral centerpiece, the engineer bride, brought in a little of herself with a Lego board and pieces for the guests to play with and make their own creations. Way cool ideas that made for great interaction with guests in getting to know the bride and groom.

The bride and groom stayed involved in announcing the bridal party, very unique. The bride announced her attendants & the groom his, saying a little about the attendants and what they meant to them. It was cool to watch and hear it from them instead of the DJ.



They also chose to only have 8 chairs per table as opposed to the usual 10 chairs per table. Each table was decorated with our white linens, which nice cover the table and almost touch the ground. Outside on the patio, they had our black padded chairs which contrasted well with our white linens, and the BeckenRidge lawn was filled with our classic Italian chairs.

On of our favorite vendors; Sassy Onion came up to do the catering. They had delicious dinner prepared for everyone by 5pm. Meanwhile, photographs were being taken by Katheryn at Photos by Orion, LLC. They pride themselves on 'Star Quality, Earthly Prices', which the bride and groom enjoyed.
