On June 18, 2011, friends and family dressed to the nines made their way to Aristide Event Center to witness Gina and Steve unite in marriage. They said their “I dos” among 180 of their friends and family. While their guests mingled inside with cocktails in hand, the newly-named Mr. and Mrs. Ullrich joined by their parties went outside to take pictures. The reception was officially kicked off with the bride and groom’s first dance to the song “Come Rain or Shine” by Frank Sinatra. The guests enjoyed themselves for a full night of dining and dancing, a wish easily met with an superb menu of pecan crusten chicken, top round au jaus, and a hosted bar. At the end of the evening, well wishers made their way outside for the couple’s grand exit. Lighting their sparklers and getting their Bicylcle bells ready, the crowd cheered at the newlywed promenaded out ready to start their new life together.

I really love to see how couples make their wedding day extra special by incorporating small details that really catch one’s attention. Today, I wanted to show the wonderful floral and design details from a recent wedding we had at Aristide Event Center. They had Calla Lillies wrapped in blue with jewels, exceptional floral displays, and bright pops of color. One of my favorite things about a wedding is seeing what ideas a couple has and loves to include on their big day. Enjoy! A big thanks goes out to Rebekah for capturing such wonderful photos!
