Forever and Always: June 2009

On May 30th, 2009 Katie and Amir were married at the beautiful Thomas Center. The Jewish ceremony took place outside in the Turtle Courtyard while the reception was inside the Spanish Court Room. Even with the constant Florida rain we have been encountering we were lucky enough to have the sun shining all day long. The aisle was lined with flower balls hung on the chairs and the flower girl holding a similar arrangement. Although the day before had been extremely hot, Saturday was breezy and beautiful, we couldn't have asked for a better day!

Inside the Spanish Court room each round table was draped with pink linens. The floral centerpieces were provided by Joan at Pranges Florist. They were beautiful arrangements and added a touch of green to the atmosphere.

Catering provided by Terranova was a delicious buffet of salmon, fillet, vegetables, potatoes, and breads. My favorite part were the pre-served salads of organic baby field greens with goat cheese, cranberries, red onions and toasted almonds and a garlic red wine vinaigrette- so delicious!

The inside of the Thomas Center was a tight squeeze for almost 120 guests but the beautiful window ceiling really opened up the room!

The picturesque cake made by Cakes by Jenny was three tiers and featured sour cream pound cake with orange filling and chocolate cake with raspberry filling.

Coffee table- love the added bouquet!

The best part of the night was provided by Jay's Entertainment and their DJ Darrin. He played great music & encouraged everyone to dance the night away! After the bouquet and garter had been thrown Darrin blindfolded the guy who caught the garter while he was sitting in front of the girl who had caught the bouquet with instructions to put the garter on her--using his teeth! Little did he know that while he was blindfolded there had been a little switch.....

I did not get any pictures of when Darrin took the blinfold off because of lighting but let's just say he was a little surprised!!

Katie's dress was a beautiful white satin, strapless, sweetheart neckline. This was the only picture I got of her but you can check out all of her pictures by JS Photography (here). I loved loved loved her hairpiece which was a little feather adornment that was tucked into her side-swept bun. It was so cute but elegant and perfect since she was not wearing a veil. Katie's hair was done by Graceful Strands.
