The rest was up to us.
Rick was part of the lantern-hanging brigade. Another crew did the lights!
The favors were chocolate chip cookies made by Kevin's grandmother on his mom's side. She made 33 dozen and packaged them in pink and white.Those were placed on the tables with candles and flowers in the center.
The flowers! Oh, they were gasp-worthy!
Plenty of pink peonies, hydrangeas and roses.
And there were a few white spider mums thrown in!
I wasn't too sure about these tall ones -- I figured they were an accident waiting to happen. I am pleased to report no flowers were tipped during the evening!
There were also flowers for the outside where the ceremony was taking place.
When we left, the ballroom looked like this.
When we came back, pink napkins were placed, the lights were dimmed and it was a magical pink palace.
And it smelled fabulous!
And really, who doesn't look good when surrounded by pink?

What a lovely wedding filled with such pretty pink touches.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful wedding with a lovely bride. How neat that she chose Pink for her colors. Loved it with the gray, and it certainly made for great photos. Happy Pink Saturday.

ReplyDeleteEverything looked gorgeous from the flowers the the favours....looks liked a fabulous time...HPS Michelle
ReplyDeleteEverything about this wedding is gorgeous -- the flowers, the small details, the wedding party attire, the general decor. But what I really love about it is the collaborative nature of the event from helping to hang the lanterns to Grandma's cookies wrapped for each guest to enjoy! Thanks for sharing this, Jeanie. It's never too late to see pictures of a lovely moment in time like this one!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty in pink. It positively glimmers and shines.
ReplyDeleteSimply magical! Everything looked so beautiful, especially the Bride and Groom!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Jeanie..

This was a beautiful wedding. The flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just love the thought of everyone mucking in to do their bit. And the thought of grandma baking 33 dozen cookies makes my heart swell.
ReplyDeleteSo envious of such strong family bonds...
Heather :)
Lovely! And, I really like the idea that the favors were homemade cookies.
ReplyDeleteOh the most beautiful of pinks is the blush of the bride, but the flowers are STUNNING, Jeanie! This is such a great time of year to celebrate the power of love. HAPPY WEEKEND!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers were Gorgeous - love the peonies!!!!
ReplyDeleteHes Grandmother made the cookies? What a special touch!

The flowers are absolutely gorgeous. I never see such pink displays without thinking of my mother and grandmother's peonies -- pink, white and fuschia. They always made a display as beautiful as these, even when they were only tucked into a Mason jar.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a pretty wedding! I love all those gorgeous flowers and the bride and her groom so lovely. Love the pink slippers and the venue was an amazing location for the reception. Lovely post Jeanie..........
ReplyDeleteWOW, if peonies were there I'm sure it smelled like heaven!! The reception room looked gorgeous.

'gasp-worthy' indeed! The flowers, both inside and out are amazing. I esp. like the two arrangements outside. And love the lanterns too. 'Pretty in Pink' wedding, how interesting your description, makes me think of James Spader... his younger days. ;)
ReplyDeleteso much to love here!
ReplyDeletereally adore the idea about the chocolate chip cookies homemade by grandma for the favors:) brilliant!
the pink ties, the glorious unstuffy flowers....just so wonderful, all.

Those are the prettiest flowers I've ever seen at a wedding. I love hydrangeas and peonies. And roses, too, of course. Hail to Grandma for making 33 dozen chocolate chip cookies. What a great favor. I bet none were left behind.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Love all that pink and white!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I love the touches of pink with the dark gray and white.....
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies as favors, too! What a good idea. :-)
Soooo beautiful! I love all the pink....and those flowers were incredible!! The happy couple is beautiful as well! Great pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteOOOooo... ALL the PINK! Me loves... (you heard that right, said with a purr... ;o) (You know, a cousin of mine recently married and she wore bright pink shoes too. And I think the groom & groomsmen all had funky colored socks on. Is colorful footwear/socks the new thing for weddings?!) What a happy days, Kevin & Molly's wedding. SO nice of you to share with us. Just LOVE all the those pink flowers. Hard not to smile when surrounded by pink. ;o) Happy Days, Jeanie ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteOh, gorgeous! Striking, yet simple, and what wonderful photos!
ReplyDelete(In the pink, indeed :))
Wow! Those flowers were gorgeous! That is one benefit of getting married in June as there are so many great flowers in bloom at that time. Pink is my favorite color so I especially love pink flowers! And the party favor is perfect! I love personal touches like that.
ReplyDeleteMy sister has tall vases like that at her wedding, too. I did wonder if they would tip but none of hers did. They are nice for conversation as they don't obstruct anyone's views!
Hi Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to come visit..
I really appreciate your kind words.. I see you visited two of my posts. You are such a dear.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
blessings,
Penny
All those pink touches made a beautiful glow. Grandma sure was busy baking! The flowers are gorgeous. Beautiful bride, too!
ReplyDeleteNow I don't feel so bad. I have never finished sharing the details from our family wedding in June. Where has the summer gone?
ReplyDeleteThe pink flowers and touches used in this wedding are so beautiful. I just loved it. Wow. Where did she find all those peonies? I think the wedding looks like it was just perfect!
The bride and groom as such a handsome couple. I guess by now they are celebrating the two month anniversary.
Very elegant in pink and white, and I love the Opera House decked out. It's such a pretty space and location. But maybe I'm biased. :)
ReplyDeletepretty in pink that's for sure! gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a most beautiful wedding!...Congrats and much happiness to the couple!!! The flowers were just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSooooo beautiful! That pink is perfect for a wedding. I love everything about the decorations. And the bride is so beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing those amazing pictures, they made me smile :)
