Michelle & Daren ~ September 23, 2017

Michelle and Daren were married on September 23, 2017.

Michelle looked stunning in a sleeveless fit-and-flare gown with a Queen Anne neckline, lace bodice, button back detail, and train. Her accessories included a hip-length veil and a diamond pendant necklace, and her bouquet was composed of red and white flowers. Her six bridesmaids wore red full-length dresses with spaghetti straps. They carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.

Daren got married in a dark blue three-piece suit with a burgundy tie, burgundy pocket square, and white rose boutonniere. His six groomsmen wore dark blue three-piece suits with burgundy bow ties, burgundy pocket squares, and white rose boutonnieres.

During the indoor ceremony Michelle and Daren held knotted cords to symbolize the strength of their new union.

At the reception, guests enjoyed a brunch buffet that included pancakes, bacon, sausage, fruit, salad, rice, and chicken, along with Bloody Marys and mimosas. There was also a “Donut Worry Be Happy” wall that held several varieties of doughnuts for the guests.

During the speeches, the bride’s sister talked about how Michelle drove across the country for Daren. The best man told the guests about what a good person Daren. The maid of honor recounted how Michelle has talked about Daren every day since she met him.

The two-tier white wedding cake featured a ribbon frosting design and was decorated with white and red flowers.

We wish the happy couple all the best in their new life together!
