Happy Anniversary :: Christin & Matt

Christin + Matt

June 21

Christin + Matt had a fabulous, decadent, absolutely beautiful wedding filled with love, laughter and fun! The colorful accents were a wonderful choice, they served ice cream cake (always a winner!), had a full chocolate fountain station, and carried a martini theme throughout the cocktail hour and reception. The favors were brilliant blue martini glasses, décor included martini glasses filled with flowers and lots of rose petals, and at cocktail hour there was an ice sculpture martini luge! Still on the list as one of the best ever! Happy 9 years y'all! Blessings and best wishes for many more!
