Laura and Blake were married on October 14, 2018.
Laura looked gorgeous in a sophisticated sleeveless fit-and-flare gown with an embellished bodice, V-neckline, illusion back, and a train. Her accessories included stud earrings, a drop pendant necklace, and a bracelet. Her bouquet was composed of red and pale pink roses. Her four bridesmaids wore coordinating full-length eggplant-colored dresses in a variety of silhouettes. They carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Blake got married in a blue suit with a white shirt, purple tie, purple pocket square, and mini bouquet boutonniere made of red and pink roses. His three groomsmen wore blue suits with white shirts, purple ties, purple pocket squares, and red rose boutonnieres.
After an off-site ceremony, guests enjoyed a buffet-style meal that featured chicken Parmesan, pasta, bread, and salad with a choice of dressing.
During the toasts, the maid of honor shared about the night the couple met, and how Laura hasn’t stop smiling since. The best man talked about how amazing Blake and Laura are together. Laura’s parents spoke about their love for their daughter and their joy about the marriage, and Blake’s parents talked about how wonderful their son is and how much they love their new daughter-in-law. The newlyweds thanked the guests for coming.
Personal touches to the wedding included a bouquet toss and a garter toss. Also, in lieu of a guestbook, attendees were asked to sign a framed photo of the couple.
Laura and Blake had their first dance to “Lucky” by Jason Mraz with Colbie Caillat. Laura and her father danced to “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. Blake and his mother shared a special dance as well.
The three-tier white wedding cake was decorated with the couple’s initial, as well as red and pale pink roses.
Blake and Laura left their wedding reception under the signature sparkler send-off.
We wish them all the best in their new marriage!
