When Kathleen + George met, they had no idea that it would one day lead them to walk down the aisle later. One fateful encounter led them to the rest of their lives! After months on end of planning and putting together the perfect day, the two were finally ready to get married.
Before The Ceremony
The morning began with Kathleen + George getting ready in their designated suites. In the bridal suite, Kathleen had the help of her bridesmaids in putting together her look. The bride handpicked an a-line dress with floral motifs scattered throughout the dress. Starting with a densely packed pattern on the bodice, and dispersing out into the skirt of the dress. She paired the dress with a crystal necklace, tousled curls, and a bold red lip. An all-together look that would soon leave all onlookers breathless.
Once everyone was ready, the ceremony was ready to begin.
The Ceremony
Guests trickled into the Crystal Ballroom ceremony space. They took in the grand drapery throughout the space. Once everyone had arrived, music began playing to signal the start of the ceremony.
The wedding party began to make their way down the aisle one by one. The bridesmaids each wore floor-length emerald green dresses. Each with a different neckline, but with similar chiffon fabric. The groomsmen wore classic black suits with white button-downs and black ties.
Finally, Kathleen stepped out and caught the eye of every guest. As she glided down the aisle, her eyes locked on George. The man of her dreams. He wore a head-to-toe emerald green suit with black lapels. He also paired it with a white button-down and black bow tie. A classic groom. The two met at the altar with a stunning backdrop. Vows were exchanged and promises were made, all sealed with a kiss! The two were finally husband and wife!
Reception Decor
The last part of the night included some celebrations! Guests were lucky to have both the ceremony and reception space on the same grounds. Just a short walk over to the Crystal Ballroom reception area and they were greeted with a stunning sight. The grand room mimicked the ceremony space with drapings along the wall and ceiling. Crystal chandeliers hung low in between tables. The theme of emerald was scattered throughout with the sashes, napkins, and greenery in the flowers. The wedding decor all came together to create an unforgettable and timeless wedding.
A Perfect Ending
Once guests had settled in, it was time for the newly wedded couple to make their entrance. They ran into the ballroom and were greeted with loud cheers. A cloud of fog rolled into the room and the couple began their first dance. A truly magical moment for the two. Soon after, the rest of the night ended with even more dancing, cake, and joy for the future!
