Let's Make it a Weekend!!

Daina and Keith decided to make their wedding last all weekend and I had a blast being a part of it! Friday evening, about 70 close family members and friends joined them at the Orange County Regional History Center to see them exchange vows in the historical courtroom. It was such a romantic candlelit ceremony officiated by Rev. Kevin Knox, better known as Rev Kev. A short cocktail reception, catered by Java Lava, followed in the foyer of the History Center and when pictures were done, Daina and Keith were sent off in style. Their guests lined the street and tossed rose petals and they drove away in their limo. Everyone followed the limo to Citrus Restaurant for an elegant dinner. The next night, over 150 guests attended the reception at Cypress Grove Estate. Daina had on the same beautiful gown as the night before, with an addition of a beautiful diamond cuff and necklace given to her as a wedding present from her new husband. Keith changed from his tuxedo on Friday night to a handsome khaki suit for the reception. Both days, Daina and the ladies were glammed up by Lisa and Amanda from Hair on the Run. The beautiful flowers from the ceremony and reception were provided by Flowers by Lesley. Saturday's reception was a show-stopper and it helped that Daina chose some great vendors to work with. Arthur's Catering provided all the food stations and beverages throughout the evening and everything was delicious! Speaking of delicious, the cupcake tower was made by Anna Cakes and the cute mice topper was a special touch from Daina. They were hand made in Italy and so cute! Even when the sun went down, the venue was spectacular, thanks to Ben and his team from Kaleidoscope. They provided the awesome uplights, market lighting and lanterns hung throughout the space. It was absolutely gorgeous! Les from Soundwave had a great mix of music going all night long and the dance floor stayed packed. The bride and groom wanted a club-y feel, so DJ Les even did some mixing! I guess the bride was feeling it, because the last picture you see above is her doing a cartwheel on the dance floor! Hey, there's a first time for everything! And a special thank you to Edmund from Rhodes Studios for his amazing photographs from both days. Congratulations to Daina and Keith!
