Snowflake Wedding


The wedding of Meredith Dean and Josh Gruner took place in January at the Noah Liff Opera Center. It was a simple, beautiful ceremony that guests enjoyed in the Grand Lobby and then were asked to attend the reception in the ballroom. The color palette Meredith chose in our initial meeting was a Nile Blue/Navy/Taupe combination I ordered from BBJ Linen company to drape the reception tables. The Cake was a perfect reflection of the evening theme and it was absolutely delicious! Cakes By Rebecca baked a vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Snowflakes adorned the ceremony area, suspended over one of the lavish food stations provided by Chef's Market, and were also placed on dinner tables along side the tall greenery/curly willow arrangements provided by A Village of Flowers. Meredith's mother, Becky played a large roll in bringing the details together and loved the idea of paper lanterns over the dance floor. Jason Davis DJ and Lighting also provided the room with a warm glow by adding the can lighting around the room. Tomorrow's Memories Photography (Zach and Sarah Henson) were the photography team for this wedding. A big "thank you" to them for sharing their blog photos with me and making this easy to share with all of you!









I loved meeting Meredith's Grandmother who retired after 33 years in the event planning business. She told me of her past clients like Sammy Davis Junior and others!




First glance at each other before the big day progressed!






The Groom's Cake was a hot chocolate station that we had fun condiments like marshmallows, caramels and peppermint sticks. The guest favorite was the shots of peppermint schnapps they could add to their hot cocoa!



Ribbon Wands made the perfect send off down the grand stair case.

They were such a sweet family to work with and Meredith's father, Rob, was a great host that evening and gave a wonderful introduction of the Bride and Groom. I wish Meredith and Josh many blessed years ahead and know that God has a watchful eye over them! Thank you for allowing Joanne and I to be a part of your special day.
