Working with "Dan Dan" and Jeremy was a whirlwind of fun. I can remember the day they called and said they were in Savannah visiting from New Mexico. Within hours we were looking at venues and dreaming up Southern images for their event. After that weekend, much of our planning was done by phone and emails (though we did get one extra weekend to plan together and share a dish at LuLu's chocolate bar). Luckily, Jade+Matthew took so many beautiful pictures, because I could never describe all that went on that day. Though the couple wanted most of the decor to have a Southern Savannah feel, they also had a French and New Mexican heritage that peeked out.
The week began full Savannah style with everything from guided fishing tours and Forsyth Park picnics, to ghost tours, swimming, and dining at the Pink House.
At the ceremony Danielle carried a stunning bouquet that included bachelor buttons (just like her mom's wedding bouquet). She said vows to both Jeremy and his daughter Emma. For the recessional, the three led the way in the joyful French Walk. Guests paraded under the Spanish Moss carrying parasols and fans. At the reception, a photo booth served as both guest book and fun favor. Additionally guests received grits in custom monogram bags and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil books to remember the south. Peaches made perfect place cards. Flowers flowed down the table under the twinkle lights above. Two Cakes made a brilliant Croque en bouche (french puff pastry dessert) that served as the wedding cake with a Mexican topper to the side. FCE's Mary, made the beautiful La Vie En Rose banner (this was the name of their first dance) that hung over the desert table that also featured pies, brownies, and cheesecake bites. After a family style dinner, the guests danced until late in the night as FCE DJ Jeff mixed an eclectic selection of French and American music
There is so much more, but I couldn't conclude without saying something about the groom/daughter dance. It was the cutest I've ever seen. They danced to "Anyone Else But You" by the Moldy Peaches. Everyone was singing along as the two swirled around the dance floor.
Miss you guys!
thankfully,
Bonnie
