Real Weddings | Love in Ames

I am thrilled to share some beautiful pictures from a lovely bride and groom that we were fortunate enough to help with their day this past summer.  Kaylyn's colors were gold, champagne and ivory, which happens to be some of my favorite colors for an event, since white and ivory flowers are stunningly elegant in formal arrangements.   Her photographer was McClanahan Studio; a husband and wife duo that specializes in cutting edge photography. 

 

 

This wedding was a study in romance and love.  The couple's story is one that was shared with all of their guests through their Ceremony and later during the Reception.  Kaylynn wanted to surprise her new husband with the decor, so he was kept pretty much out of the loop.  I remember that when they first stole a look at the room before their guests, he turned to his new bride and said with a wide-eyed look, "You did all of this?"  They both loved the day that they had created for each other. 

Special touches like the candy table, their beautiful cake filled with hydrangea blooms, crystals, and candlelight filled their day with style that they loved sharing with each of their guests.
