When I first walked into the restaurant's reception room, I knew right away what I wanted to blog about.  On top of each guests' wedding glass was a pair of red, paper filigree, love birds. They looked delicate and sweet. 

The laser die cast love-bird theme was also a present on each guests' plate. The filigree paper was in the shape of a red bird cage, which was full of candy. This was so cute. 


The Bride and Groom were charming with their sweet nature and lovely smiles. During a conversation with the Groom, I learned that the couple had been taking ballroom lessons for this occasion. I was super excited to see what he was talking about. After the bridal party's entrance, which was performed Gangham Style, the couple had their first dance. 

My jaw dropped to the ground as the Bride and Groom twirled and dipped. They made it look effortless as they gracefully swished across the dance floor. They looked stunning, and the photos are stunning. Their smiles were radiating as they danced for the first time as husband and wife. 
 

Last weekend the Bride was a dancer, and the Groom was a wrestler. The palatial columns of the water temple made for a picture perfect and romantic ceremony.  As bubbles floated by the guests, who were holding white parasols, the bride and groom exchanged tender looks of love, melting our hearts. 

At the reception the dance floor was always popping, with the entire spectrum o'f generations doing all sorts of dancing, from traditional ballroom to "the Worm." They were not too shy to dance.  And dance, they did. 


One great idea that I saw at this wedding was: the Bride and Groom had put together a mixed CD for their guests to take home. This idea is simple and effective; personal and useful. 

As the mariachi music danced through the summer's evening, the smiling guests laughed, cheered, and enjoyed some outstanding salmon.  

The groom was a musician; the bride, a clothing designer.  Their wedding rocked original and handmade keepsakes, such as a vinyl-record guestbook, and their personalized cake topper, with seamstress and rock star.     


One of my favorite touches was the bride had made flowers out of sheet music. She hung them as decoration and also used them as the boutonnieres. Theses sentimental pieces of art looked romantic dangling in the sunset.
