Lorena and Ralph said that love and laughter define their relationship, and that was what they wanted for their wedding day.  The couple was married at Spartan Manor which they chose because it was both intimate and elegant.  Lorena looked gorgeous!  Her hair and makeup team included Caroline from Michele Renee and Corie Jean from the Create You Salon, and her gown and veil were perfect for her.

Pastor William Rice officiated the ceremony, which ended in a dove release.  My favorite picture of the ceremony is Ralph showing off his ring during the recessional!  Another sweet moment was Lorena’s mom playing the accordion for the newlyweds during the reception.

The wedding colors included both pastels and ivory.  The bouquets and centerpieces from T. Gambardella Florals incorporated the colors beautifully!  The bride and groom DIYed most of their decor, including a fabulous crystal tree on a tiered silver base.  Silver was also used in the wedding cake from Cindy’s Cakes and Creations.

The newlyweds honeymooned in Maui and I’m sure it was an amazing trip!  Congratulations Lorena and Ralph, and thanks for having us on your wedding team!
