Doesn’t she have such gorgeous eyes?April & Joss chose not to SEE each other before the ceremony but to have a special time together by reading notes they wrote for each other. Gotta love the socks!April & Joss really love the LORD and it was wonderful to see her minister and bridesmaids take a moment and prayed for her. It was very sweet to hear the words of her bridesmaids about such a beautiful couple and the blessings they hope for them.One of the most meaningful moments for every bride and their dad is getting a chance to walk down the aisle together. I just thought it was so sweet how they held hands 🙂Some people are afraid of having summer weddings outdoors but isn’t this just so beautiful! It wasn’t hot and the lighting was just perfect! LOVE the white garden!I just love the look in April’s eyes when she looks at Joss… you can just tell they are so in love 🙂 The rain held off until just now… We got to have the ceremony outside 🙂

Dina Berg Blazek – Event Planning and Design & her team made sure all of April & Joss’ details we perfect for their wedding day! The stunning floral arrangements from The Bloom Room help bring everything together.

This marvelous cake was created by the WOW Factor Cakes team. Special pic of the bride and groom towards the end of the night, enjoying a few moments by themselves.
