So the fun planning began and of course she selected Northampton House for their wedding celebration. Noelle chose the Somerset Room for her ceremony.   The ornate stained glass windows made a stunning backdrop as Noelle walked down the aisle with her father to the wedding march played by a string quartet. 

 She asked her nephew Spencer & niece Aubrie to be her flower girl and ring bearer. A fun change for a ring bearer is to have him carry a Teddy Bear, such a cute idea. Noelle provided Teddy Bears for all her other nephews who came to the reception that evening. As the ring was placed on her finger Trent’s Grandparents played Annie’s Song on their guitars and the couple was all smiles.

I had the pleasure to do all the floral for her big day and her color pallet included shades of pink, black, and silver. She chose a traditional bouquet of roses, tulips, & white stephanotis with pearls in the center. This helped to accent her custom Azria wedding gown from Latter-Day Bride. Noelle absolutely loved her wedding dress which shimmered and sparkled with over a hundred Swarovski Crystals and pearls. She even had matching jewelry and a princess tiara instead of a veil. A true princess for a day…

Following the ceremony we moved into the Courtyard room and feasted on herb roasted chicken and delicious German chocolate pie. I adorned the tables in centerpieces of pinks, lime green, & cream with branches of cherry blossoms, roses, cremons, bells of Ireland & rice flower. 

  One of the fun features of Noelle’s wedding was the way we displayed her pictures and each guest received a personal CD of music as a favor. Later that day we continued the celebration with a reception in the Courtyard Room. 

Noelle & Trent chose a Mexican Theme for their Hors d ‘Oeuvres and they were so yummy! Designed and created for them by Northampton’s Cordon Bleu Chef. We danced the night away and then it was time to cut the cake. We have a family tradition that spans many generations; it is the lighting of the Family Wedding Candles. I had a poster displaying each wedding couple that has used these candles over the years. We honored my parents, Dick & Doris who were celebrating their anniversary that week too.

 The lights were dimmed at just the perfect moment as the wedding couple stepped onto the dance floor for their first dance together. The bouquet & garter were tossed and goodbyes were said. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this wonderful celebration of Love. Another Happy Ever After Ending at Northampton House!!!
