Tati and Billy, The Estate on Second

September 3, 2019

Tati met Billy in The Attic of The Estate on Second for their first look. Tati was dressed in a mermaid style dress with lace, beading and button back detailing as she approached Billy. She tapped his shoulder and the moment Billy turned around the two hugged each other and then took a step back to appreciate each other’s wedding attire. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen met them in front of The Estate for wedding party pictures before the ceremony. The bridesmaids were dressed in burgundy maxi dresses and the groomsmen wore black tuxedos. Their bouquets and boutonnieres were a mixture of pink and red florals to match the theme of the wedding inside.

Guests arrived to a beautifully decorated Crystal Ballroom. The pink and red flowers decorated our Palladian window creating a ceremony arch while flower petals and candles lined the aisleway. The wedding party took their marks at the head of the aisle and then Tati walked out arm-in-arm with her father. She met Billy under the floral arch where they exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family. Everyone cheered as they sealed the deal with a kiss and walked out for cocktail hour in excitement as husband and wife. The bar opened and was serving up the couple’s signature drinks: Pineapple Margarita and Coors Light. Tray passed Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Crab Cakes with Mango Papaya Salsa were enjoyed along with a European & Domestic Cheese Wedge Tray. Tati and Billy mingled with their guests before everyone was invited to sit for dinner. Grilled Marinated Vegetables, Pear & Walnut Salad, Chicken Florentine, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto and Garlic Mashed Potatoes were served after toasts and first dances. Our Sweet Treat Tray with an assortment of Fruit Tarts, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Eclairs, Dark Chocolate Ganache Brownies, Butterscotch Blondies and Oreo Cheesecake Squares were set out for dessert. Guests had fun with the garter and bouquet toss, dancing, cake cutting, and photo booth for the rest of the evening.
