Karen and Austin’s Wedding

Karen and Austin got married at their church, and had their reception at Venue at the Grove. Their color palate of sage and chocolate brown looked amazing in the hall. When the couple arrived their excitement was evident, they were already glowing after their ceremony. . .  now it was time to celebrate!

Guests arrived to find a welcoming cocktail hour with a cheese and fruit display, as well as a signature drink! AK 1023, otherwise known as an amaretto sour with pineapple juice (one of the couple’s favorites) was a hit at the bar. Once guests made their way into the hall, they found personalized Chapstick at their place setting as their favor. Perfect for a celebratory smooch!

Guests dined on delicious food, and the dance floor was busy all night. One of the most touching moments of Karen and Austin’s wedding was Karen’s dance with her father and Austin’s dance with his mom. Both were so personal and touching, it was a very special moment.

Right before cutting the cake, Austin surprised Karen with a beautiful speech about their relationship. While courting, Austin had to go to Germany for work, in his speech, he expressed that this trip made him realize how special his relationship was with Karen, and how he knew he wanted to marry her. He surprised Karen with a very special and hard to come by bottle of wine that he purchased while in Germany.

Karen and Austin, your wedding was beautiful. We are so happy for you both! Congratulations, we wish you much love in your bright future ahead!
