No not Air Jordan, not Michael Jordan but the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan. This wedding was special from the start. The newly married Mr.and Mrs. Jordan were exceptional to work with. We all soon became known as "Team Jordan". I still think we should have made some t-shirts. We slacked on that!! hmmm....is there still time???? Better late than never?!?!
A very cute little church full of charm held the ceremony. Loose arrangement of roses in glass vases were at the altar, simple elegance. Bows lined the rows of pews. The bride was stunning in her dress holding a beautiful bouquet wrapped in antique lace with a pin that was her grandmothers. Such a lovely touch.
The reception was held at the Sheraton in Reston. In the grand ballroom. Chocolate colored floor length lamour linens adorned the tables. Complete with gold chargers and Tiffany blue menu folded napkins. Each place setting had a personalized menu card and a place card. The favor of chocolate covered Oreos made especially for them by the bride's aunt-DELICIOUS. So cute they were decorated as brides and grooms. They were placed in a box with the initial "J" for Jordan.
The centerpieces were tall white centerpieces. The colors were Chocolate, creams and touches of Tiffany Blue. You would think that the dark Chocolate colored linens would be too dark for this room. But it made it look rich and lush. The cake was beautiful. One of our favorites this year. It was half cream and the other half Tiffany blue with a damask print in cream on that side adorned with flowers. The cake topper was a chocolate colored letter "J". Absolutely beautiful. They also had a Virginia Tech groom's cake. It was a little cake with just the initials and the mascot. Very cute. Let's go Hokies!! : ) The cake table was topped off with votives, petals and "I Do" in wooden letters.
The best part of this wedding. No matter any issues that happened throughout the day when it finally came to celebrate the beginning of marriage for these two the love was definitely in the air. They have a tradition in this family, which I love. I absolutely love all the quirky type things that a bride and groom can bring into the wedding day. The brides families' tradition is they have this ugly, very ugly fiber optic lamp that changed colors. Its passed down from one newly married couple to the next. Each newly married couple has to keep it until the next couple in the family gets married then it has to be presented and lighted at the reception. So, needless to say we all got a kick out of it. But, it truly is an ugly lamp....but we LOVE it!!! In this case, it was placed front and center on their sweet heart table.
At the end of the night everyone was extremely happy and tired from all the dancing. ALWAYS a good sign of a great party. We were even...um....they really twisted our arms to do this...um...we'll say
dragged, yes dragged, we were dragged out for a few songs by the family. ha,ha! No not really, we loved being a part of their night. It definitely made our night.
We wish them all the best always!!! Thank you for sharing your day with us!! We'll always be TEAM JORDAN!!
