Emily and Michael were married the first weekend in October with a romantic sunset wedding ceremony.  

    Emily loves flowers, so her wedding featured lots of bright flowers to complement the plum bridesmaid's dresses.  Her bouquets had cranberry and yellow Gerber daisies mixed with hydrangeas and plum filler.

   Emily's arbor was topped with ferns and stuffed with Gerber daisies.  Four large live topiaries with gorgeous balls of greenery and flowers marked each end of the aisle.  Each topiary trunk was wrapped with Wisteria.  Bouquets of flowers tied with cranberry ribbon hung along the aisle. The Hitching Post designers created and set-up all of Emily's decor.

   For their reception, Emily and Michael chose a square four-tier cake covered in chocolate icing and decorated with lavender trim.   The dining tent next to the dance floor was decorated with plum and yellow paper lanterns.  The table centerpieces were tin buckets on plum napkins filled with the same flowers that marked the aisle.  Emily's party favors included little magnets in a box with earth friendly messages and scented candles in a personalized tin.

   The highlight of the evening was Michael's reading of his love poem to Emily.  It brought tears to everyone's eyes!
