When Melissa and Joseph were planning their big day, they wanted to be different from the average couple. They were looking for venues with a little more character than the typical catering hall. The wood floors, brick walls and vintage furniture, combined with huge windows that let in natural light made
The Metropolitan Building the ideal location. We love the heartfelt touches of this very intimate soiree submitted by
Lindsey Thorne Photography!
After meeting through a mutual friend, Melissa and Joseph eventually traveled to Costa Rica where they endured an all-day hiking excursion to a waterfall. Upon reaching their destination, Joe caught Melissa off-guard and passed a camera to the tour guide. He popped the question right then and there. The romance continued with a swim in the waterfall and private dinner with their own chef in the rainforest {how adventurous}!
After such an extravagant proposal, Melissa and Joseph kept their ceremony relaxed and warm. They chose to make the wedding slightly vintage with a nod to an eclectic eggplant and green color scheme. The bride wore an ivory
Pnina Tornai satin gown. It was strapless, with ruching throughout and a corset tie back from
Kleinfeld {so beautiful}! The men wore grey suits with eggplant colored ties and pocket squares.
Melissa honored her deceased father by tying a memory pin to her bouquet. The flowers included a medley of vibrant green, dark purple and white accents. {We love the funkiness of the green spider mums incorporated with the grapes and other flowers in her bouquet as well}!
Romance erupted as the couple recited their own vows. While admitting to being nervous, they agreed the special emotion made the experience worthwhile. Melissa said "I'll always remember the emotion I felt telling Joe how I feel about him as well as listening to his sweet words to me."{How sweet!}
The reception had both a romantic and rustic feel ~ with centerpieces in wooden wine crates, spray-painted wooden table numbers and tons of candles.

Choose a large Ferragamo Handbag , it is highly recommended to take into account its size. If you are looking for designer Ferragamo Handbag replica search, first decide what type of bag you need. For example, you may need a bag to go with him, or to go to work with him, or get away with it, or perhaps you are looking for a handbag that can be universally used for various purposes. If you carry your bag for long distances, it is advisable to choose a very spacious bag with several compartments. And if you're looking for a Ferragamo Outlet for shopping or to visit a club, there should be a small but elegant bag, which could lead to some important points from you. Ferragamo Outlet
