Congratulations Kristan and Steve!
Kristan and Steve got hitched last weekend at Meadowlark! It rained ALL week and then on Saturday the skies broke, the sun came out, and we had a beautifully perfect day for a wedding. I’ll share photos from Justine Ungaro when I get them but for now here’s the few that I took (thanks Felicia!):
The backside of the Atrium at Meadowlark Gardens. You can sort of see the porch area where they hold wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours:
Looking through the reception area you can see the ceremony taking place on the other side of the windows. This was the first time I’d worked with Meadowlark’s in-house caterers, Great Blue Heron Catering. Scott Boger is the sales manager and did a fantastic job on this wedding:
Maryam Flowers brought these pretty purple arrangements:
We are such STICKLERS about making sure the escort cards are set in straight lines. This is a simple detail that often goes overlooked but can be very obvious if it looks messy:
Kristan & Steve displayed portraits of their parents and grandparents (check out that vintage wedding photo in the back!):
Room Service set up this beautiful lounge for us. Heidi is so easy to work with and this combination only came to about $1,000! I love the rattan pieces in this room….it was just the right style for the Atrium:
Kristan and her bridesmaids used paper parasols as props for photographs. I especially loved that her ladies wore two different colors and different style dresses:
Justine Ungaro and the guys from Monachetti working hard to get a group photo:
One of the coolest features of this wedding was their wedding cake! They chose a fun suitcase-themed cake instead of a traditional stacked white cake. Norman from The Sweet Life came up with this beautiful piece of art:
I’m really excited to see Kristan and Steve’s wedding video since they had a lot of live music performances from their friends! Steve is the drummer for Gonzo’s Nose, a local favorite cover band, and several of the couple’s friends are very talented. It made for a wonderful personalized touch to the day!
Kristan and Steve, it was wonderful working with you guys! I loved every minute of your big day and was glad to be a part of it. I hope you’re enjoying your romantic Parisian honeymoon!
