Last Saturday Melanie and Jake were married at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Largo with their reception following at the Kapok Special Events Center.  Their wedding had a winter theme with glittery snowflakes, sparkling gold lights, centerpieces with hanging crystals, and gorgeous shiny burgundy linens.  The only detail that wasn’t wintery was the big palm tree cookie cake on the dessert table.

Dad met up with Melanie that morning as Michelle Herman did her hair and Kristine of Fabulous Faces did her makeup.  Melanie and her wedding party had tank tops with their roles in the wedding in rhinestones and mom thought it was great that Melanie’s mom had her own Mother of the Bride tank top too!

The bouquet, done by Weddings by Love ‘n Blooms, had crystals standing out of the flowers and each stephanotis with a pearl center.  The dark red roses and green leaves fit well with the wedding theme.  The Christmas tree at the Kapok was perfect for the wedding decor as well!

During the reception guests were treated to a performance of the song “Be Our Guest” as dinner was served.  Doug Decker from Grant Hemond was the DJ at the reception and he really had the dance floor packed!  It was a wonderful day just as Melanie and Jake deserved.  They are so in love and looking at them you can see a long and happy future.  Congratulations newlyweds!
