One of our favorite quotes about love says –

“True love does not stifle you; it’s not a cage hiding you from the world. True love is a platform, it’s the wings that you need to fly, the fuel for your dreams.” – Unknown

This quote reminds us of our lovely couple Danielle & Boyd who held their wedding at Ralston’s Crossing Event Center – a smaller event venue that features a quaint white chapel, a beautifully landscaped garden, and an open-air pavilion.

On the morning of their wedding Boyd surprised Danielle with a vibrant bouquet of long-stemmed red roses in her dressing room. We were able to incorporate this beautiful arrangement in other areas as well – at the greeting station and also as décor for the signing of their marriage license.

The couple’s wedding ceremony took place on the back lawn with the gazebo as their focal point. White fabric panels were hung within the gazebo to create a simplistic, yet romantic backdrop while tiny turquoise glass vases studded the front-side of the structure and aisle-way bringing pops of color and life.

Danielle and Boyd chose to write their own vows to one another. During their vow exchange it became blatantly clear that they each believed themselves to have become a better person because of the other. They were each other’s platforms, each other’s wings, and the fuel for each other’s dreams.

The reception space was classic and rustic. Deep blue linens with burlap table runners dressed each table. Wood slab chargers, glass blue water goblets, natural and navy striped linen napkins, and gold flatware designated each place setting.
