Ivory Elegance

Emily's bouquet full of ivory roses, spray roses, freesia, and her favorite - gardenias!

 

I loved her bouquet so much that I wanted to show you two pictures of it!  The gardenias smelled unbelievable next to the cream garden roses.

 

Emily's bridesmaids carried a smaller version of her bouquet tied up in a bow with a champagne ribbon.

 

Emily's groom wore a boutonniere of cream spray roses.

 

The mother of the bride and the mother of the groom carried these small tussie-mussies of cream roses and freesia.  Their small bouquets were also tied up in a bow with champagne ribbon.

 

The grandmothers wore a pinned gardenia corsage.

 

The ceremony was at the beautiful Covenant Presbyterian Church.

 

 Each sconce on the front of the church held a sweet wreath of baby's breath.

 

When you first entered the church, you were greeted with a beautiful guest book arrangement on a champagne pin-tuck tablecloth.

 

Here is a look down the aisle inside of this beautiful church.

 

Every third pew was marked with a small swag of flowers tied on with a champagne ribbon in a bow.

 

I wish that I had a picture of the church with all of these candles lit!  The mother of the bride said that it was breath-taking...

 

The reception was held at the Hermitage Hotel downtown.

 

We adorned the center railing with greens and tufts of white hydrangea.

 

After guests walked up the stairs into the lobby of the hotel, they would be greeted with the table below which displayed the guest book, chocolates, lavender, and of course a beautiful arrangement.

 

Guests could write wedding wishes to the bride and groom here and later pick up some petals to send them on their way as newlyweds.

 

I love how elegant and simple this cake is - simply stunning!

 

Here is the view of the Veranda from the hotel lobby.

 

The following several pictures are all taken in the Veranda.

 

The ballroom looked beautiful as well!  This is where all of the dancing happened that night (and I hear there was a lot of it!).

 

Is was a beautiful night for a beautiful couple - congratulations Emily and Bailey!
