Sun Kissed Autumn - Allison and Brad: October 4, 2008

Allison and Brad could not have asked for a more beautiful day for their wedding. The warm autumn sun provided a golden glow for their outdoor ceremony. As you can see, all of the garden flowers were at their peak. The florist added some blooms to the arbor in warm, fall shades of red, orange and yellow and the beautiful draping allowed sheer rays of sun to filter through.

The bouquets and boutineers were evenly matched with one couple in red, one couple in orange and one couple in yellow.

In addition to the ceremony backdrop, the bridal party posed for a few formal photographs in the upstairs garden as well while the guests went on to enjoy the cocktail hour.

The elegant reception was decorated in shades of ivory and chocolate brown with yellow, orange and red accents including alternating designer linens and centerpieces of large candy jars filled with fun fall candies surrounded by flowers.

And, taking the prize for the most unique centerpiece is this figurine that Brad and Allison had at their sweetheart table. Apparently, this lovely lady is a traveling trophy that Brad had won for being the best at engaging in leisure time activities.

Best wishes to Brad and Allison! May you keep the love, joy and sense of humor!
