Rain, rain, go away…come again another day!
Posted by Ann Yuska, Lionscrest Event Supervisor
It was a rainy Memorial Day and the weather just wouldn’t cooperate for Andee and John’s 5:30 ceremony…but the good news…a beautiful indoor ceremony with the opportunity to go outside for some incredible pictures later! The special touches that Andee and her mom had planned with Reale Decorating were transformed last minute inside…even placing ribbon in front of the center aisle…mimicking all that would have been done outside…yet inside at the last minute.
Andee and John are a fun loving, in-love couple whose smiles can light up a room…especially when they are gazing into each other’s eye…you guys are great!! The classic black and white with a touch of red color palate looked amazing. The red roses were stunning and matched the bridesmaids’ red shoes perfectly! The red roses for the wedding day are a special tribute to Andee's grandmother, Elda Cullen. This flower was here favorite-strong and vibrant and a symbol of love, just as she was. The roses were in honor her and her marriage to Robert Cullen, which lovingly endured for over 50 years.
The attention to detail was amazing…I especially LOVED the Groom’s Cake. An incredible “map” of places that Andee and John had visited. Such a cute tribute to the fun places the couple had traveled to and definitely a crowd favorite! Colorado Rose Cake Company did such a wonderful job of not only pleasing the eyes with their designs, but pleasing those sweet tooths with their incredible flavors! Cake…a sweet way to compliment a sweet day!
I just loved the way Dawn and Sandra (the Matrons of Honor) put together the “Shoe Question” game. Let me explain…Andee and John sat back to back on the dance floor and each had one of each other’s shoes. Dawn asked some questions of the couple and they had to answer by raising the shoe of the correct person…such as… Who drives slower? Who cleans more? Who takes longer to get ready? Who said I love you first? And lastly…Who do you love more? It was cute to see what answers each one gave!! Sometimes they answered the same, sometimes no!! A fun, fun game that allowed us to see a peak into the lives of this newlywed couple!
Ryleigh and Robbie....you two are the BEST Flower Girl and Ring Bearers around! I hope you two had lots of fun!!! Thanks for being so great at your job!
It was an honor to help you, Andee and John, on your wedding day! Thank you for being such a great couple to work with…I enjoyed you two and your families….what a wonderful group of people you call your family and friends!! Best Wishes and Have fun in Maui!!!
