Watching a couple so in love surrounded by their friends and family and being able to capture that for forever is one reason we love this job!
Brian & Mandy were a perfect example of this radiating their love the whole day. They were married on a very sunny, hot day and like most of our mid summer weddings we felt bad for all of the guys in dark suits!
Mandy was so cute in her white mermaid gown and green orchid in her hair. They wanted an elegant wedding with a hint of “under the sea” feeling! The bridesmaids wore long, flowing blue dresses and each of the girls carried a simple bouquet of white and green orchids.
They were married at the Inn at Palmer Divide with their ceremony under the balcony. When you do weddings long enough, you begin to memorize a traditional ceremony and know most of the things the officiant is going to say. But on top of those traditional things every wedding we have ever been to has things throughout customized to them. It is always so much to hear little stories and things that come out about our couples during their wedding ceremony! One of the unique things Brian & Mandy did was to use a beautiful white orchid during their ceremony. Instead of lighting a candle or pouring sand they each poured water into this flower’s pot as a sign of their ever growing love for each other.
Their reception was beautifully done with the “under the sea” theme using blue table cloths and clear bowls full of water, white orchids and little fish in the center of each table. Their wedding cake was an elegant square tiered cake with green orchids and a little mermaid topper!
I loved how Mandy took her “under the sea” theme and made it into a beautiful wedding!
