The mother of the bride found these antique toasting glasses that fit just perfect with the theme of the wedding.
Tim and Chloe displayed an amazing amount of photos- 6,000 to be exact- depicting their relationship, keeping their guests busy while they took their wedding photos.
Chloe and Tim were center stage for their first dance to “I Have & I Always Will” by Dave Barnes.
The intricate bead work, long train, embellished lace and sweetheart neckline were some of the elements that caught the attention of Chloe when she first saw the gown.
When Chloe found a picture of this cake on-line she fell in love. She had her baker, Gourmet Goodies, re-create the four tier fondant cake which included a bottom tier made of sugar flowers
Chloe’s nine bridesmaids and the “best lady” wore long chiffon gowns by Liz Fields in a deep purple color.
Chloe chose a simple look for her wedding to follow with her classy and elegant theme. She chose purple tones for her eye make-up to complement the bridesmaid’s dresses in the pictures.
Chloe went with a pair of dramatic earrings and no other jewelry to complete her an elegant and classy look.
The crystal candelabras at the reception were the bride‘s favorite. She wanted something that was elegant as well as taller to balance out the high ceilings of the venue.
Chloe and Time met on their first day of freshman year at college and once both of their best friends started dating each other they vowed never to date. Four years later Tim declared his true love for Chloe, after turning him down four times they started dating after he first asked Chloe’s dad for permission and wrote her a song. They said “I love you” for the first time when Tim proposed a year and a half later.

The Date August 25



When they first started planning the wedding, Chloe and Tim, decided they wanted an old- world elegance theme to pay homage to Chloe’s British heritage. They chose their venue with their theme in mind which became the perfect background for the elegant and timeless wedding they were hoping to achieve.
