Too Much Fun!

On July 9th and 10th, E and I were in LaGrange for a very special wedding. We came in at the last minute on this wedding as the MOB (Mother of the Bride) was basically suffering from the we-live-in Gainesville, the wedding-is-2 1/2 hours-from-here, last-minute, I'll-never-get-all-this-done, please-please-help-me syndrome. Very common. She actually had a very loving husband (FOB - Father of the Bride) who basically said, "enjoy the day with our daughter and hire someone to do all the things that need to get done that day." What a great guy.
That is, of course, where we came in. MOB gave us creative license with the Bridal Luncheon and boy, was that ever fun. The Lily Pulitzer Juice Bar pattern was the theme which I immediately fell in love with. E immediately fell in love with the charming little house where it was held, the bride's sorority house on campus.
After the Bridal Luncheon, we went straight to the reception site, the local country club, where things had to be confirmed, directed, tweaked, fluffed and made beautiful. Mission Accomplished. When the bride and the MOB arrived, they were beyond pleased and we were beyond thankful they were.
This family was awesome and we became fast friends. I know I say this every time but it is true. We continue to be blessed to work with the sweetest brides and families. We love, love, love our job.

Just a few details about this wedding. Because if you're like me, you adore the details.
Colors: Purple (Bridesmaids dresses), Ivory and Gold (table linens, chair sashes, wedding cake)
Bride's Shoes: Pink
Favors: Photo frames
Reception Fare: Ice Cream Bar - this was a BIG, huge hit! (It's July in middle Georgia after all)
Music: A Band that played fabulous music. BIG Hit!
The One Thing that Invariably Goes Wrong: Storm comes through, power goes out. No power = no air conditioning, no band, and melting ice cream. Thankfully, this didn't last too long and the ice cream was saved. Whew.

But the absolute biggest draw for this reception was this contraption below. I'm sure you recognize it . . . a photo booth complete with all the gaudy props you can imagine. Oh. Yes! E and I squealed like adolescent girls when we saw this. What could be more fun than getting in one of these things with those ridiculous accessories and making total fools of yourself? Not much. So after all our tasks were completed and the reception was running like a well-oiled machine, we just cut loose and put our own selves in there and had a huge time.




This speaks for itself. You can never, ever have too much just plain ole good fun.
