11+5+2010= Mr. & Mrs. Rowland

Well ladies & gentlemen it appears that we have had another successful event at the Wellington. Last Friday night we had the pleasure of hosting the Burns-Rowland Reception. Our friends at Kathy's Bakery & Paula from Designing Spaces had this place looking exactly how it needed to be for the beautiful bride. The tables were draped with chocolate brown linens with cute little hints of turquoise everywhere to match. The backslashes of aqua lights provided by our specialty LED lighting really made the specialty tables pop. The centerpieces were fabulous displays of spider mums & hydrangeas. Some of them actually lit up & some just had candlelight to go with them; but, let me be the first to say not even in a million years would I have thought of flower arrangements like these. I knew that this wedding was going to be a blast when I first walked in the door & saw that the Groom's cake was a giant calculator paired with two 1040 forms. Then, I saw a couple carrying in what appeared to be a large bench & I just thought, "How clever is this?" The newlyweds, going back to their country roots, did not take the normal route when it came to their guest book. The Groom hand-made a bench & all of their guests were able to write their best wishes on it! I got to sign it, heck, I even got to participate in the conga line! It is going to be quite the conversation starter on the front porch of their new home. The DJ Played everything from George Strait to Lady Gaga. Thanks to the Zac Brown Band we all also got a little "Chicken Fried" before the night was over. The party really got started though after we did a bubble blowing fake leave and dimmed the lights. The bride was a vision in white on the dance floor, wearing white crocs that is. The new Mrs. Rowland wasted no time getting her comfort on with her shoes. Hey, we have all heard that line "Beauty over Comfort," but I am firm believer that whoever made that up never owned a pair of Crocs! The couple showed off their humorous sides & their accounting careers by sending all of their guests off with calculators & pens that read "James & Mindy 11/05/10." We know the couple were able to catch some great sleep at the Holiday Inn Express last night after the party, we just hope they didn't have too much trouble waking up to take off on their trip to Branson this morning. I think the newlyweds make a great equation & on behalf of everyone here at the WBCC we send a sincere " Congrats" & a big "Thank You" for letting us be a part of your special day.
