Weddings, Parties and Celebrations...Don't just happen!

Weddings, Parties and Celebrations…don’t just happen! A lot goes on behind the scenes.  Enjoy a few photos of Shawn and Emily in action at Kristin and Todd's wedding in Statesville, North Carolina.  We had the pleasure of working with Brian Mullins Photography for this wedding.   Your Special Day has always admired Brian's work but this was our first time actually working together.  I promise it will not be the last!






Emily is taking the bride's ring to the maid of honor.  Although it is a huge responsibility for our company to accept the rings from our couples, we like the comfort of knowing the rings actually arrive at the ceremony site and make it down the aisle.
Kristin's dad wanted her to wear her baby ring, bought on the day she was born, on her wedding day.  What an honor to share such a special memory with our bride.

   
Pinning flowers on our groom, Todd, and the rest of the guys in the wedding party. 


I love this photo...children attendants can add so much to the overall feel of the ceremony.  After this little guy's dad went down the aisle, he decided he wanted to go with dad...not wait for his turn.  We always tell our couples we are experienced with children and if there are issues prior to sending them down the aisle, we will take care of them.  After trying to get this little one to wait his turn and sending the wedding party down the aisle at the same time, I can honestly say I am out of practice with 18 month old "wiggle worms" and very thankful for my assistant!




What a unique signature board....you actually etch the signatures in the matting with a special pen.  We take these items from our clients weeks prior to the event so they don't have to worry about them.


Cutting the cake...this is not normally the responsibility of the our staff.  However, we always do whatever it takes to make the event a wonderful experience for all.  Kristin had asked her aunts to cut the cake and they were nervous about not knowing the proper way to cut a wedding cake so that you get the number of serving needed.  So, give us some gloves and we will take care of it!
We are constantly learning and sharping our skills. Thanks to Mrs. Veda, one of our favorite alterations specialist, for sharing this interesting technique for lifting the hem of the gown when the bride changes into flats!
I have said it before...we love what we do and have fun doing it.  Thanks to Brian Mullins and Ginger for such great photos and helping us make Kristin and Todd's wedding....Special!
