Ashley and Chad's wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch was fun. Really FUN. Ashley - who is currently in our top 5 of most fabulous brides ever - called us last year to plan a fun filled winter destination wedding with lots of flowers, a million+ twinkle lights and a costume change. Yes, we salute the girl who has one dress for the ceremony and one for the party. Our solution? Use the dress as decor (of course)!
I love wedding ceremonies in the Timberhouse. We created a curtain backdrop inspired by thee gorgeous columns of an old southern plantation accented with carnation balls. Yep, carnation balls. I am now completely obsessed with them. They are just too fun!
Here is the actual sign that Chad used to pop the question to Ashley.
Okay, you can take the girl out of Louisiana but what we learned what that you can NOT take the Louisiana out of the girl. And honestly? Why would you want to? If you are leaving your own party, why NOT have a parade?? Check out Matt Kenfield's (Elite DJ) Facebook page for the video. It's fantastic.
Of course, as usual Miss Paula of Teacup Bakery absolutely outdid herself with the cake (and the cookies for the welcome bags!! yum)
Rachel Terry from Stellar Photo did another fantabulous job on these gorgeous photos. Hop on over to her blog to see the rest of this gorgeous wedding.
Chad and Ashley - thank you again for being fun, fabulous and just beautiful - inside and out. And to Ashley's brother - I am not sure how or why you ended up with a pocket knife at a wedding, but wow, it really was helpful! To all of your family and friends, thank you for sharing your fantastic Southern hospitality with Winter Park. You made our winter a little more fun!

And then, we received this email from Ashley's brother . . .
ReplyDelete"Hey ya’ll. This is Ashley’s brother. I want to thank ya’ll again for everything ya’ll did for my sister’s wedding. It was a blast and she deserved that very much. Ya’ll did a great job. Just to let ya’ll know about the pocket knife, A REAL cowboy never leaves home without 4 things on him: his boots, belt, hat and knife. Everything else is optional. LOL. Again thanks for making Ashley’s big day everything she dreamed of. It really meant a lot to me and my family.
Thanks again.
