When I arrived at her house, it was decked out in Christmas gear. I mean, it was gorgeous! It would put some of the New York City holiday windows to shame. She wore a green dress; her favorite color. She wore a white fur stole and carried a white muff with holly.

Her bridesmaids wore iridescent gold and carried wreathes instead of flowers. The grandkids wore all white with gold or silver accents and lanterns. The ceremony was full of love, with her grandson singing, children reading and all the grandkids singing Silent Night.

The decor was festive and reminiscent of Christmas without doing the traditional red and green. Pops of fuschia, teal and purple ran through the room. The tables and centerpieces had snow, holly, snow covered branches, Christmas balls and jewels. Each table was labeled a different Christmas song loved by Pat and Tom.

The reception was a blast. Listening to Tom’s daughter describe how Pat and Tom met was hilarious. Tom and Pat’s daughters encouraged them to join e-harmony and give it at least 3 tries. Pat was Tom’s third date. Had he stopped at the first two ladies he would have never met her. I am so glad he kept trying.

Pat brought all of her girlfriends up and named them honorary bridesmaids. She gave them all crowns, tiaras and sashes. She gave tribute to each one, talking about how much they meant to her and how each of them affected her life.

Pat’s favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast, so she had a whole procession of dessert brought out to the song, “Be Our Guest”

Pat and Tom’s siblings did a fun little number for Tom: “Tommy Angel” to the tune of Johnny Angel. His brothers walked across the floor with signs about dating.

This was the place card table- I like the hanging photos which give a nice personal touch and reminds me of candy. She also used gumball filled lucite trays with rainbow lollipops as the seating cards.

Here was the cocktail area which had vases filled with jelly belly jelly beans. It took all self control to not reach in and eat them. They are one of my favorite candies. I also love the teal walls in the historical society which is very elegant. Of course anyone that uses my branding colors has a special place in my heart.

The main room! Gorgeous! Lindsay used long tables with fuschia tablecloths and polka dot runners. The colors had so much life and tied the candy theme together well without being cheasy. I also loved that she used different colored flowers in different sizes. The ball shape was reminiscent of the polka dotted runner.
