{Real Wedding} Melissa & Antonio

I can finally share one of the weddings I helped plan!! This may look familiar to you since Alexis Sweet Photography was gracious enough to let me use Melissa and Antonio's photo for my military blog design, if you haven't been over there click here: A Military Story. This post will be up there on Feb. 8th too!

This fall wedding was so pretty and their navy, orange, and white color scheme looked perfect with Antonio's dress blues. This was one of my last weddings to help plan in Savannah, GA and their rustic details were really fun to make. I arranged all the flowers for the wedding, cut all the burlap table runners, and cut out all the letters for the table names and hot glued them to the foam pumpkins. Plus Nicole, who now owns Simply Savannah Events made the lace table overlays and the escort cards. We helped Melissa and Antonio with their wedding planning and day of coordination, which was a lot of work since they were relocated to Savannah during their planning process, and like many weddings their were some "hic-ups". Including their outside wedding was almost moved inside since hurricane Sandy was coming up the coast. Thankfully the weather was ok!! One of the unique parts of their wedding was the traditional Mexican tradition of the lasso ceremony which you can see images below when Antonio's family placed it around him and Melissa. Other fun details were the pine cones I incorporated into Melissa's bridal bouquet, and the funny group shots seen below, such a silly group! Thank you Alexis and Shannon for sharing these photos!
