A lillipad wedding for Mark and Deanna

Mark and Deanna had purchased a beautiful home in Mason that had a beautiful backyard on Lillipad Court. We incorporated this new home, along with their love of good coffee and Graeters, into this relaxing, fun wedding day for them! I was so thrilled to be a part of their special day!

An air conditioned ten with clear, see-through panels looked out into the backyard. The white chivari chairs had mini-sleeves that matched the ivy-patterned overlay. Rentals from All Occasions Event Rental.
Ivy patterned chargers were complemented by lavender napkins and bamboo-handled flatware. Each guest received a packet of personalized coffee in either white chocolate, butter toffee or hazelnut from La Crema Coffee Company with a personalized Starbucks mug and the wedding date on it.
Guests walked on a carpeted, covered pathway to the tent and entered through real glass doors.

Instead of a band or DJ, the couple chose to have a string trio play during the lunch reception. Toasts were made to celebrate the bride and groom's nuptials. Pictured here is Leah from Rose Trio.
Since yellow tulips were out of season, we opted for yellow roses. Design by Katie Elfers.



Napkings, programs, table numbers and seating chart made by Amo-Ink incorporated the lillipads into the design.

After the ceremony, the couple was escorted from the church to their home in a vintage Rolls Royce, provided by Motortoys.

Enroute to their wedding reception, the couple stopped by the Starbucks that they first met at and posed with the staff!

Nothing beats the heat like a bite of Graeters Ice Cream!
Deanna's daughter is an absolute sweetie pie and was smiling the whole day!

This was a wonderful, laid back afternoon for friends and family to celebrate and relax! It was a pleasure to be part of their big day. A huge thanks to Ron Shuller for the photography!
