Modern Boho Wedding

October 25, 2022

Guests arrived inside the Crystal Ballroom at The Estate on Second to celebrate the marriage of Eve and Kevin. A terracotta and white floral arch accented the center Palladian window and black chairs lined the aisle. Once everyone was in attendance, Kevin led the processional, and everyone stood when Eve made her walk. In front of all their family and friends, the bride and groom recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed their promises with a kiss. The two excitedly exited into cocktail hour while guests cheered around them.

Beer and wine were flowing while tray passed Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Crab Cakes made their rounds to hungry guests. While everyone mixed and mingled, Eve and Kevin snuck away for photos together as husband and wife, and later returned to enjoy the end of cocktail hour with their guests. After reminiscing with friends, everyone was invited back into the Crystal Ballroom for dinner.

Tables were draped in white linens and topped with terracotta bud vases filled with fresh flowers. Checker table number signs and squiggle cut-out name tags helped guests find their assigned seats. Once everyone was seated, the bride and groom made their grand entrance and shared their first dance. Toasts and dinner were next. A meal of Santorini Chicken, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Caesar Salad was selected for everyone by the bride and groom with help from our Event Specialist, Sierra. Family and friends stood and shared their fondest memories of Kevin and Eve, and glasses clinked in the air at the end of each speech. While everyone was finishing up dinner, the newlyweds cut into their red velvet wedding cake, then invited their guests to indulge in some dessert as well. Energized from dinner and dessert, everyone hit the dance floor to show off their best moves and end the night on a high note. Guests surrounded the bride and groom, snagged selfies together, and wished Kevin and Eve well before heading home.
