Olivia & Jason 3.28.09

This wedding is particularly special to me. Jason was the Best Man in my own wedding and Olivia has quickly become a very dear friend. It's been a long time since I boo-hooed so hard at a wedding but these two really have something special. Thanks, guys, it's been such an honor to be included in your wedding day.

On to the details...

Amazing photos provided by super-fun, super-talented Amanda Egan. Ceremony held at St. Agnes Church in Ft. Wright and the reception at The Gardens of Park Hills.

Olivia wanted bright citrus colors with modern textural elements. Included in her bouquet are hydrangea, Supergreen roses, parrot tulips, gloriosa lilies, hypericum berries, pin-cushion protea, hypericum berries, craspedia and fern curls.

The bridesmaids carried mono-chromatic green bouquets to compliment their pewter gray dresses. Their bouquets were made up of green hydrangea, Supergreen roses, cymbidium orchids, hypericum berries and loops of lily grass.

I get asked all the time about alternatives to boutonnieres. While I love incorporating unusual textural elements for the guys, I'm also a big fan of a classic pocket square and have no problem recommending this look to my brides. Look closely, my handsome hubby's in this picture :)

The green flowers carried over to the reception details. The cake was made by Olivia's aunt and was brought up from Lexington. I would've been holding my breath the entire drive!!

One of my favorite vendors to recommend is Brideface. I love how excited my brides are after their trial and finally realizing why I so enthusiastically recommend Nancy and her crew. Part of my wedding gift was Olivia's makeup... that's how much I am a fan of Brideface. Mollie, one of the lead artists, did Olivia's makeup. I just knew that in the hands of Brideface she'd look and feel great all night long. As a guest at this wedding... I can vouch that she did!

And a few more because the eye candy is too great to pass up! Jason and Olivia went to Union Terminal for a few photos before the wedding. I know it was a second choice because of the uncooperative weather, but what amazing shots!

This one makes me well up a little... I see them look at each other like this all the time.

Have you seen a bride more intent on getting down the aisle to get her man?! Love this one, too :)

email trouble - ugh!!

In an attempt to reduce SPAM I switched my email server earlier this week. However, in the transition several incoming and outgoing messages from earlier in the week have been hanging out in internet limbo. If you've tried to contact me within the last week and have not received a response from me... I didn't get your email or my response never made it out. Please resend so I can get in touch with you :)

Thanks for understanding and being patient while I figure this out!
