For this weeks recap we are talking all about Stephanie and Josh! Their wedding, held on April Fourth, was so fun, colorful, and beautiful!
Getting Ready
Stephanie and her ladies arrived at Cheekwood Botanical Garden to get ready for the wedding, they had help from Ashley Burns of The Beauty Hall.
Stephanie had her “something blue” in her shoes under her dress and wow these heels are gorgeous! Her dress had a sweetheart neckline a flowing skirt and was embellished with leaf patterned beading, she topped it all off with a short bead embellished veil. She looked stunning!
A few hours after the ladies started, Josh and his men arrived at Cheekwood to start getting ready. Once everyone was looking handsome and beautiful it was time for Josh to see his bride for the first time!
First Look
Of course tears were shed when Josh saw Stephanie in her dress for the first time, so cute!
After tears and smiles Stephanie basically turned into an angel thanks to some lighting and magic at the hands of Courtney Davidson.
The bridal party and family joined in for a few pictures before everyone headed to the ceremony in Howe Garden!
Ceremony Details
There were lots of little special touches that made the ceremony space beautiful and unique. We loved that they asked everyone to put their phones away, it keeps the focus on the bride and groom rather than on taking pictures! Their guestbook was unique; each person signed a heart and dropped it into the frame to be displayed in the bride and grooms home.
Stephanie and Josh chose and rainbow of colors for their flowers which looked stunning against the backdrop of the botanical garden!
The Ceremony
Stephanie looked gorgeous coming down the aisle to Josh.
A few minutes later they were finally married! After a short walk down the aisle it was time for the reception!
Reception Details
The reception was just as gorgeous as the ceremony. The centerpieces added so much to the venue and made for the most beautiful colorful wedding!
Their cake made by Dulce Desserts looked absolutely beautiful!
Yes…always trust the alcohol to tell the truth!
The Reception
At the reception there were tears shed during the toasts by the maid of honor and best men, then it was time for the first dance!
The absolute joy on their faces was contagious!
Following the dancing it was on to the cake cutting. How amazing does this cake look?
After hours of celebrating and dancing the night away Stephanie and Josh were lead through a tunnel of cheers and bubbles to a waiting car!
This was a beautiful wedding and a wonderful couple! Congratulations Stephanie and Josh, we hope your life together is as fun as the day it started!
