finally, some details from the biedenharn/fenske wedding back in july....this couple was originally set to be married at the schermerhorn. due to the flood and closing of the schermerhorn, we had to do some quick thinking--luckily, war memorial was still available for their date, so we were able to do a quick switcheroo! emily and gregory were such a lovely couple, and it was so fun to be a part of their big day.
the beautiful bride with her bouquet...have we mentioned yet that we love photographer mary rosenbaum? her pictures totally captured the romantic and soft feel of this wedding. emily looks so classic in this picture!

war memorial is such a great venue. great light, urban setting with architectural charm, and perfect backdrop for flowers and decor!

we created seating areas on each side of the auditorium with draping, white banquettes, and long tables with stone colored linens. the floral arrangements were long to match the tables, with a grouping of curly willow, white orchids, and hanging candles in the middle
arrangement on the stage, with allium, lillies, more curly willow, roses, and greenery
okay, so we have to talk about the food on this one. tomkats did an amazing job with different stations representing the bride and groom's favorite cultural foods. the pan asian station had dumplings, sushi, and a pad thai bar!
in addition to the cultural delights of the far east, there was, of course, southern food to be had. tomkats was frying up fried green tomatoes to order! yum!
