Romantic Chic City Wedding

"The theme of our wedding was romantic chic. I wanted very classic, warm and clean colors - ivory, white, gold, blush. When I met Jenna Sprengal from Avant Gardnia floral and her go-to linens vendor, BBJ Linen, I knew almost instantly they were going to be the vendors to make my vision come to life! Avant Gardenia's gorgeous centerpieces - which included both tall and short stunning mounds of mostly ivory floral with blush, slight green and gold accents - paired perfectly with the blush cameo mystique sequin and cameo shantung linens! 

Matt and I met in college and were both regulars in the campus social scene. One of our first meeting places was on the dance floor of one of the local favorites. That is why it was extremely important for us to find a wedding band that could bring to life the crowded dance floors of our yesteryears. That band was Final Say, and they did not disappoint, to say the least. At one point we had to ask them to play a slow song because our Grandmothers needed to catch their breath :).

We certainly had our obstacles in the form of city traffic, downpours, and timing. Looking back those things are beginning to fade away from memory. What remains are the laughter, smiles and kind words that will stay with us forever."
