Jennifer & Jonathan, September 2, 2017, Old Daley on Crooked Lake

Jennifer and Jonathan had such a beautiful wedding filled with flowers and romance.  The couple wanted a traditional ceremony first look, so we spent some time at Old Daley on Crooked Lake first with Jennifer and her girls.  They had hair and makeup done in the bridal suite and after a champagne toast, they had a sing-a-long to some favorite theater songs.  Jen and her family are “theater people” and it was so fun that everyone could let loose and have some fun.  After getting pictures of Jen and her girls, she went back into hiding and Jon and his guys arrived.  We spent some time with them and then everyone got ready for the ceremony.  Just prior, the couple exchanged gifts through their Maid-of-Honor and Best Man.  Jen got Jon a beautifully engraved watch and Jon surprised Jen with a custom made sign with one of her favorite book quotes.  We all fell in love with it and decided it needed to be part of the ceremony decor.  The couple were married in a beautiful lakeside ceremony under an arbor of gorgeous pink and red colored flowers designed by the amazing, Poppytree Floral.  Guests even enjoyed a red champagne toast after the couple tied the knot.  The night continued with a fun party in the main ballroom where everyone danced and even were entertained by the Bride’s sister and significant other who performed an Opera song.  

Jen and Jon you had a beautiful day all around.  Wishing you all the love in the world and continued blessings on your marriage.

Love the classic feel of her dress

Those FLOWERS, Poppytree Floral always knocks it out of the park!

Groom gift

The Bride’s dress ripped a little, Grandma to the rescue.  FYI, Grandma is a seamstress for a NYC wedding gown designer.

It’s rare for the moat to be dry at Old Daley, so of course we had our couple get in there!
