Orchids are my favorite flower, so we incorporated them into all the decorations, from the centerpieces and head table, to the ceremony archway decoration.

Having our best friends with us made the day even more special! The bridesmaids wore dresses from David's Bridal in Clover green.

I created the monogram for our wedding day using a simple Word program. The monogram was backed in two shades of green paper, with a green jewel detail. We displayed the monogram on our programs, gift baskets for the out-of-towners, and escort cards.

I took a picture of the silver beading on my gown, and had our cake designer duplicate it on our wedding cake!

Christian's Father died several years ago from brain cancer, and it was very important to us that he be a part of this special day. So we decided on a donation favor in his honor.

Our first dance was to "Waltz With Me" by the band Tonic. Our first dance was a very special moment! It was my first real time alone with my new husband after being officially married!

This is one of my favorite photos of the day. Just my husband and me! Our photographer, Ziva, was amazing! The morning of our wedding, she and her family were evacuated from their home because of a huge brush fire. But she came and photographed our wedding anyway! Thankfully L.A.F.D. was able to save her home, and we love our wedding photos!
