Wedding, Take Two!
2020 and 2021 were very challenging years if you were trying to get married and have a large event. Some states were totally shutting down events, some were limiting how many people could gather, social distancing, masks, travel restrictions, quarantine time, etc. So, for Ashley & Ian, they chose to do a small Vegas wedding in May 2021 and to then have their traditional, original planned wedding on April 9, 2022.
I thought it was cute how they incorporated into this wedding day their Vegas wedding. Each groomsmen wore a playing card lapel pin. A special table was on display in the gazebo that had one of the most amazing groom cakes I have ever seen along with framed “Vegas” wedding photos. I love the little extra details that they put on their frames to give them that Vegas gambling feel to them. Also, on this table, were lots of cigars to be enjoyed later in the evening.
I think the favorite part for this wedding was the character artist. Boy did he stay busy the entire night! My staff couldn’t resist and had to get a quick drawing too! What a fun thing to offer during your reception.
Another favorite, especially on those colder months, is Carpe Donuts. The smell of those donuts frying and hot coffee percolating, yummy!!!!
