{Real Wedding}: Steve + Danette's Gardeny Soundside Wedding

When we first sat down with Danette months ago, she told us although purple wasn't really her most favorite color, somehow it was speaking to her as a focal element of her wedding.  There are certain aspects of wedding design which are purely based off of feeling, and we can't thank Danette enough for giving us the foundation for a beautiful palette! It was dreamy when we paired lavenders, plums and blue iris with sage and moss green to create a gardeny, whimsy theme that was fresh and delightful for a springtime wedding on the water.

And they say if the weather calls for rain on your wedding day, consider yourself a lucky bride! Rain it did,  and while plan B was actioned almost immediately, the ceremony and reception came together just as seamlessly as it would have if it was outdoors.  When life throws you rain, throw the celebration indoors right?!  Steve and Danette shared an intimate ceremony and danced the night away, complete with their Mardi Gras masks that spectacularly coordinated with their wedding attire.  Laissez les bons temps rouler!  And 'let the good times roll' they did!  Congratulations to the Cajun queen and the Scotch/Irish king who are a complete match made in heaven!
