Tyler and Alicia at the Old Sugar Mill

LOVE THEM! What a FANTABULOUS wedding! We did Tyler and Alicia’s wedding October 17 at the rustic Carvalho’s Family Winery at the Old Sugar Mill. We just are infatuated with this venue. It has so much history and uniqueness about it. The pictures are ALWAYS fun, edgy, funky and beautiful. Jodi with Jodi Yorston Photography did a gorgeous job. I had a hard time only picking a few so enjoy them all! The Old Sugar Mill has also graced the cover of many magazine’s. The current cover of Real Weddings Magazine was shot here. Check it out!

Back to Tyler and Alicia. They were sooo much fun to plan and work with. They always had a smile on their face and were always laughing, it was contagious. When planning with them they really wanted it to be fun and unique. They didn’t want the traditional wedding processionals and recessional but still wanted it elegant. One of our favorite String Quartets is the Vitamin String Quartet. They remake a lot of songs from hip hop to country. Look below for their selections.

This venue doesn’t need much decor but their centerpieces and linens were fabulous! The florist was Sandy with The Right Touch Florist. She had purple lights in some vases, lots of jewels and just a variety of deep colors. The picture in the post is of their head table but all of the centerpieces and bouquets were lovely. We really had a great team. We got to work with the wonderful Dawn and Nester with TLC Catering. They always do a great job and the food is always delicious. Both of them and their staff are so friendly and always moving. We just can’t get enough of them. We also got to work with Jodi with Jodi Yorston Photography which I mentioned earlier. We have been friends for awhile and finally got the chance to work together. Her and Scott were so fun to work with. We had a blast and the pictures are so stunning. Tyler and Alicia were working it all day with Jodi, she really can make you feel comfortable and help you capture all your memories. Tyler and Alicia are so energetic and happy, it shows in all their pictures. Here some of their flowers, loving the deep purple.

Usually we get to work with our sweetheart Erin but she is out of the office for personal reasons so until she is back we got to work with the bubbly Katy Baker with Adagio Weddings and Events. She is sooo fun and sooo full of energy. She jumps in and runs with it. She may not have planned from the beginning but she knows what’s up, thanks Katy!

Joe and Catherine at the Old Sugar Mill

Every wedding we do, their is usually something unique. We get excited about each one of them and they all end up being our favorites. Doing our job NEVER gets old!!! So about Joe and Cathrine, they were married September 5 at the Carvalho’s Family Winery at the Old Sugar Mill. They have had some changes up there and they now have Erin (use to be at Fresh and Quick Catering) and she is so freaking AWESOME! We love love love her. :) Back to our bride and groom, they had Reverend Dr. Rick Tan (which we just worked with his wonderful wife a few wedding ago) and he did a amazing job. He is so nice and so easy to work with. We are for sure adding both of them to our preferred vendor list! During the Ceremony something interesting they did was have a Wine Ceremony where they made promises to each other and drank out of the same couple. They compared their relationship to the bitterness of the wine along with the sweetness (bittersweet). It went great with their Recessional selection of Bittersweet Symphony by Verve. I really liked that it all tied in together.

We also got to work with JR with JR Photography. It’s been awhile but working with him again reminds us how easy he is to work with. We like his pictures of them, they are the ones in this post! Catherine was drop dead gorgeous and Joe and his groomsmen looked really good. :) Another fantastic vendor we got to work with was the talented Dawn with TLC Catering! I love Dawn, she has always done a over the top job. This menu was unique which fit for what Joe and Catherine wanted. The cute cake was done by Baby Cakes Bakery, it was flawless. Flowers were by Twiggs Floral Design. BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL flowers. First time we worked with them but I was impressed. Last we loved their wedding party, the ladies were so sweet and just wanted Catherine to have a fabulous day! We hope she did.

Joe and Catherine were a little quiet at first during our planning sessions but they loosened up and we were able to see their vision. We had a mixed crowd, we got to incorporate some Hispanic music, Joe’s family sure can dance! We had a packed dance floor all night. What a fun wedding! Here’s their song choices:
