MEMORABLE GIFTS
Hello Everyone!
It has been awhile since I blogged last and with great excitement I wanted to share a very special family with you. Tim and Ashlea were married on December 28th, 2009.
Now little did they know that Josephine (the brides mother) was already planning a SURPRISE reception for them. So the planning was on… together Courtney (the couples wedding planner) and I contacted our Bakery, arranged the flowers, and notified pretty much everyone here that this was a SURPRISE.
Now I have to admit when I woke up that morning I was overwhelmed with excitement, I love surprises! So when the limo pulled up it was all I could do to contain my excitement. After the couples ceremony they started their photo shoot with Megan. Josephine and I met and she was able to see the reception area and I could tell by the look in her eye that she was so pleased with the flower walkway leading into the cake table, the head table was decorated with fresh petals and bubbles and bells.
The only request Josephine had was could I make it warmer because wouldn’t you know it the weather was a bit chilly that day. The weather was not going to damper this celebration. The couple soon arrived with Megan and the smiles were amazing. We pulled it off, they had no idea that their Mother had secretly organized a reception in their honor.
I have the pleasure of seeing things from the coordinators perspective. Did we execute everything as planned? Yes! But more importantly…what did we really deliver? The entire staff delivered a wedding that was “Intimate. Elegant. Legendary.”
