Sunday, September 22nd Wedding

I am working on gaining experience at planning weddings by working at the Winterthur Museum as a bridal attendant. This is a wonderful experience that was a true blessing and a joy to work, not only because of my co-workers but the couples with the families are very nice.
This Sunday, I assisted Elaine and Joe Dillion with their wedding reception. This was a laid back couple that was appreciative of everything that was being done for them. They were not nervous at all and kept smiles on their faces the whole time. It was a small intimate wedding, full of love, elegance and simplicity. They were married outside at the Winterthur Museum reflecting pool at 6:30, right before the dusk of the day and when the sun went down the group stayed outside for a while and mingled with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres by candlelight. The Gallery was converted into a lovely dinner party style atmosphere with beautiful floral arrangements by Flowers by Yukie (http://www.flowersbyyukie) and the Winterthur (http://www.winterthurweddings.com) had some new brown and turquoise linens that were just lovely.
The wedding and reception was over by 10:30 PM which gave the couple ample time to change and prepare for their honeymoon trip. It was truly a lovely night where the weather agreed with the event and the couple truly exemplified their love for each other the special guests that they invited.
