Laura + I arrived at church an hour before the ceremony to pin on flowers and get everyone calm + collected before they walked down the aisle. Felicia was stunning in her gown, and her veil was one of my favorites this season with delicate embroidery around the edges. The bridesmaids wore elegant taffeta gowns in ruby red and the guys were sporting formal tuxedos with black bow ties--downright classy. The traditional Christian ceremony was officiated by Jeremy's grandpa, and was a little nostalgic, as he married Jeremy's parents at the same church years before.

Laura + I facilitated formal photos before heading to Fruitport Banquet Center for a few final touches to the ballroom. The wedding party arrived and were announced into the intimate reception of seventy guests by Dave from Millennium Entertainment. The ballroom was gorgeous with the ruby red + crisp white linens from Chair Cover Collection, dozens of red roses and romantic candlelight everywhere.

Dinner, from local favorite Ryke's, was served promptly at six, and the newlyweds cut their stunning 5-tier cake, also by Ryke's, shortly thereafter. Dancing began around 7:30 and the party was underway until right around 10:30, as guests made their way back to their hotel rooms for the evening.

Felicia + Jeremy--best wishes to you as you continue your life together! If I'm ever in Texas, you'll be the first to know.
