The name says it all. Or does it? I know it sounds strange. But they managed to combine heavy metal (and other genre of music), sling shots and tons of fun with elegance. This was one of the funnest (is that a word?) weddings I've done in a long time. The bride and groom were absolutely a blast! They kept me on my toes with all the little surprises along the way. This bride was very detail oriented. A month before the wedding, she had everything done, marked and packed up for me. I was in awe. That never happens. I absolutely adored her for it. It made my life 1000 times easier.
The ceremony and wedding were both at Evergreen Country Club in Haymarket. Ceremony was outside in the Stone Garden. Beautiful ceremony. Gotta admit, got a little teary eyed. I was so happy for them. Such a great couple! She looked stunning in a flowing white dress walking down the aisle. Her bridemaids in black strapless dresses. All looked beautiful.
The reception was inside the ballroom. Their colors were black and white with pops of green. Each table had floor length white linen with black overlays. Free standing Calla Lillies on a black bases were the centerpieces. Each one had a light in it. So they "glowed" in the dark. Very cool centerpieces. Very modern and almost edgy but at the same time elegant. Unfortunately, the photos just don't do it justice. The escort cards were placed on a board that her father made. Very impressed. The bride and family made all the programs, escort cards & board & table numbers. The table numbers were different musicians from different genres of music. Aerosmith, Ray Lamotagne, Led Zeppelin and even Eminem to name few. Very unique and personalized. The favor...seeds to grow beautiful wild flowers as a symbol of their love blooming.
They had 2 cakes. Hers was simple elegance, timeless. 4 squared tiers adorned with pearl dots, black ribbon and Calla Lillies. Beautiful! The Groom's cake was a drum set from Metallica. Very cute and so fit their personality. The best and very unexpected part. Was after they did the traditional cake cutting the matron of honor and the best game in blowing a whistle and music changed. They grabbed the groom sat him down and put goggles, rain poncho and held a target behind his head. The bride was then given a tray with cake and a sling shot. Hmmmm...you can guess where this is going. She then proceeded to shoot cake into his mouth. It was absolutely hilarious!! LOVED IT!
The dance floor remained packed the whole night. The bride & groom, their family and friends were absolutely a pleasure to be around. They were so much fun. This wedding is going down in the books as one that will never be forgotten. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of you day. We wish you all the best always!!
