Tiffany & Weston McCalip
July 2, 2011 was all about Mr. and Mrs. McCalip at the Wellington! We had so much fun at this reception, I was so sad when it was time for the newlyweds to make their exit! Judy with Kathy’s Bakery was the coordinator for this day, and she for sure lived up to her end of the bargain. The ballroom was decked out in hot pink and black. There were even little hints of zebra in some places. The tables had centerpieces on them with hot pink flower arrangements on top. The head table was set up on the stage behind the dance floor. Judy and Kathy made an awesome drape to hang behind the wedding party that had the couples’ initials on it, and a little bit of bling too of course. The foyer was absolutely amazing. The table had Tiffany’s mothers wedding gown and Weston’s mother wedding gown on mannequins, the trains covered the table perfectly falling all the way to the floor. There were pictures set up of the couples grandparents and great grandparents on their wedding days. It was nice to see all of these people still happily married. It was also neat to see the style transformation of the dresses through the years. Tiffany was a gorgeous bride. She looked like just like one of the brides you see in the magazines, only prettier. Mark Schroeder provided the tunes for the night and as always did a great job. When the clock struck 9:00 it was time for the ol’ red Studebaker truck to pull up and take the young couple off into the night so they could begin their honeymoon. It made for some very cute pictures as everyone threw pink rose petals and waved their goodbyes!
Aaren & Brandon Halencak
The next day our team came together to get everything ready for Aaren and Brandon. Kim Southard with The Swanky Thang was the planner and like always everything turned out perfect. The day started with an early morning rehearsal. One for the ladies and one for the guys since the tradition does say the bride and groom are not supposed to see each other on their big day. After that the guys headed of f so the girls could get ready. We turned the music up and got to work. Aaren and Kim decided to go with brown table linens and orange centerpieces. There were also hints of ivory in the ballroom which really set the orange tones off. The ceremony was held inside. The bridesmaids wore brown dresses and the groomsmen wore ivory suits. Aaren looked like the perfect bride in her dress. She really did a great job picking out that gown. During the ceremony Aarens brother, Adam, sang his rendition of “Wait for me.” He has an amazing voice. After the ceremony, always comes the reception, and this was a great party. Monarch set up a mashed potato bar, salad bar, sliders and a fruit station. And as always the food was delicious. Kathy’s Bakery was in charge of the bride’s cake and it too did not disappoint. The groom’s cake showed Brandon’s love for the Texas Rangers and chocolate covered strawberries. Iron Horse set up the bar, and kept the guests cups filled all night. I’d have to say the funniest part of the night was when it was time for the bouquet and garter toss. Brandon with the help of his best man, Austin, pulled out his hard hat and tool belt and then put on quite the show. Finally after using all the tools he had he was able to pull the garter off of Aarens leg and throw it to the single guys in the crowd. What seemed as such a short time after, the clocked turned 12 and it was time for the party to end. Everyone threw birdseed as the couple made their exit.
I had such an amazing time working with both of these couples and their families! Thank you to Lauren Pinson with Lauren Pinson Photography for the great pictures of Mr. and Mrs. McCalip! And thanks to DeEdra with Photo[E]motion Photography for the awesome pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Halencak!
To Tiffany and Weston and Aaren and Brandon, thank you for letting us at the Wellington be a part of your big days. You guys were great to work with and we hope y’all nothing but the best of luck on your new ventures as husband and wife!
