The tables are set. This table has a "low" floral arrangement again done by Plantscaping Blooms. Chair sashes in pewter by L'Nique Linens.

The lobby was the site for the ceremony! Plantscaping Blooms did a beautiful job transposing it to look like an altar.

Selective Sound Dj ROCKED this reception!!!! They danced and danced and DANCED!!!!!!

An awesome cake by Wild FLour Bakery

The Marriott Hotel was the site for the reception. The ceremony was held next door at The Key Bank Tower. This is how guests were greeted into the hotel lobbies....Sarah & Jeff's pitures were all over the plasma tv's! A very calm bride waits to get her make up done while sister, Annie, gets hers done by make up artist Shelly Theilling. Many family members were asked to bring a framed picture from their wedding to put on a "wedding display" table! This was the welcome table. A bride ready to meet her groom! Sarah and Jeff chose to have their "first look" at each other before the ceremony. So Jeff is being very patient while we walk Sarah past him to get her outside to wait for her groom to see her for the first time! Their "first" look at each other! Jeff is waiting as Sarah walks up from behind him! It brought tears to all the bystanders watching this moment! Sarah & Jeff with Sarah's Mom and Dad! They all looked so beautiful.

We actually had to take part of the kitchen prep area and transform it into a “floral” workspace. 3 1/2 foot glass vases were used for some of the centerpieces. They were filled with loose rose petals and then each of the vases had an arrangement of 3 dozen red roses accentuated with gold branches that also had hanging crystals off of some of the branches.


The actual ceremony site. The stage/ceremony area was also adorned with dozens of red roses.The draping used in the background was woven with gold threads! Beautiful!


The ceremony took place at Landerhaven. Beautiful maroon and gold chair covers with a beautiful mandap tranformed this ballroom into something “simply AMAZING!” Dozens of red roses adorned this ceremony site.
