Liz had always dreamed of a wedding based on 1001 Arabian Nights with decor like the inside of lavish desert tents, beautiful lights, and rich colorful decorations. They found A Step to Gold Ballroom and decided that it was the best candidate to be transformed into their fantasy wedding. With Erin's help, they assembled an impressive team of wedding vendors to put this all together for them. This is the inside of the ballroom that has been draped with white sheers along the walls and radiating out from the ceiling in swags. Notice the lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Colored lights were placed behind the draperies and the colors changed throughout the evening giving a different color of light and mood to the whole room.
This is the sofra, a Persian wedding tradition where gifts and items are placed for good luck and happiness for the couple. Notice the beautiful peacock feathers bedecking the altar.
The ceremony took place out on the balcony where a giant white tent had been set up. Here is Liz being escorted in by her Uncle Bill and her grandson, Aden.
The tent was enclosed on two sides. The balcony floor was covered with snow white wall to wall indoor-outdoor carpeting. Jeff, our light and sound guy, had white lights beaming in from outside and inside the tent. I know when it got dark later on it was beautiful to behold.
Liz and Russ wrote their own secret vows to each other heard for the first time on their wedding day. It was very special and I heard Russ sniffling a little bit!
Now they are married and it is time to party!
Here is the wedding party inside. Notice the pretty magenta color of the lights behind the sheers. On the left is our bridesmaid, Sarah, Liz's daughter and mother of her grandsons, Aden and Crayven, Viki, Maid of Honor, Liz and Russ, and Samuel, Russ' son and Best Man. Matt, Sarah's husband, was a groomsman but not here for this photo.
Here is the traditional shot of the couple with the officiant!
Liz wore a lovely off white silk two piece Indian style wedding dress bedecked with glittery jewels. She had her hands and arms covered with henna art in the Indian tradition for the wedding. Her bouquet was of brilliant colored blossoms with peacock feathers interspersed. Liz and Russ, I hope your fantasy wedding was your dream come true! You pulled it off royally! Congratulations and I wish you all the best!
Here is a photo of the balcony and tent before the ceremony. The bride had tree branches spray-painted white in the background. She wanted to be surrounded by a white wintery decor as much as possible to be in stark contrast to the rich colorful tent decor inside. After the ceremony, this space was transformed into a lounge area with sofas and tables.
