The "Tree"

You must read on to see what “tree and wedding” have in common with each other. We were at Christ Episcopal Church in Ponte Vedra and the TPC Sawgrass Club House in early August for Meghan Green and Ryan Fogg’s Wedding. What a great place to have a destination Wedding!
The day was gorgeous, especially after the down pour on Friday night before the rehearsal. Meghan and her BM’s got ready at the Ponte Vedra Inn (Wow, it was breathtaking). Their rooms were a sweet place to get ready in. All of the girls were dressed in matching pink sundresses. They toasted off the day with champagne and strawberries.
Meghan’s dress was specially made by Romona Keveza to fit her exactly. It fit PERFECTLY, I love when it does that; makes my job easier - I didn’t even have to use my Mary Poppin’s bag to get her into it! Later on though, my Mary Poppin’s bag became quite handy. Somehow Meghan’s dress got lipstick on it, so out came my bag of tricks. A little bit of baby powder and a shout wipe got out the stain. (FYI- Lipstick is waxy so you have to lift it up off the material with powder and wipe to clean it up with the shout wipe.)
The men were even getting ready early. Can you believe that? I jumped for joy. The men wore real bow ties (we even had to do a “tie teaching 101”- Erinn one of our interns downloaded it from You tube).
So, with their beautiful gowns they were off into the air conditioned trolley to transport them to the ceremony at Christ Episcopal Church. The church was beautiful in its own natural beauty. Stewart & Susan Powers were able to capture so many shots. The sun was pouring into the windows at just the right time and it all came together as a planners dream. After the ceremony all of the wedding party hopped onto the trolley where Susan Powers even dared to ride with them to the reception. She captured some great shots.
Now we get to the “tree”. Most of our readers have heard of Unforgettable Events . Dan & the Unforgettable Events crew “grew” this one right up. Yes, I said “grew”. In the reception we had the biggest and meanest, tree you’ve ever seen. The tree had leaves, twigs, flowers upon flowers, crystals (huge), & candles. The finishing touch was the grass around it. This was only what the Head table had. The other décor was stunning but that tree was the talk of the reception. Check out how Powers Photography was able to capture all the elements.
We had a FIVE tier Hummingbird (Bride’s favorite) cake just as the bride requested even down to the icing (Butter cream) of leaves and pearls. 100% of it was edible. We rolled the cake to the center of the dance floor (It was such a nice presentation having it there so all could see).
The reception kicked into high gear with the band “Flavor” from Atlanta. They were able to get the crowd moving. They learned some songs we wanted for the special dances (first dance). I loved how the band got into all the guests. The guests were into the band. I would encourage anyone thinking of a band to think of “Flavor". They really rocked the night away.
As a final farewell to the evening Meghan tossed her bouquet from the outside balcony to all the ladies below. What a send off. We wish to thank Meghan and Ryan for a great wedding. ~Angela
