“What is love comprised of?” It is a very deep question, and it was the powerful theme that drove Misty and Aaron’s nuptials! This devoted couple wanted a wedding that was as vibrant as their love and personalities. So they choose a color scheme that symbolized the purity, preciousness and richness of their love: lush shades of pink with hints of gold.
Besides their color scheme, the couple found other creative ways to incorporate their theme into their decor. Misty shares, “Our [love] theme was everywhere: there were wooden table names in gold labeled by the things we felt love was comprised of, such as compromise, nurture, cherish etc. We also had banners made of our engagement photos that were placed on either side of the entrance. One banner read ‘Love is…Without Exception’ and the other banner read, ‘Love is…Aaron and Misty.’ ”
The couple took full advantage of the beautiful summer weather by having an outdoor wedding. The floral décor of hydrangea and orchids in shades of pink served as a beautiful compliment to the greenery surrounding their ceremony. Guests were embraced with dramatic sheer fabric ceilings and pink up-lighting as they entered the couple’s tented reception space. They enjoyed a delicious gelato station, took tons of photos at a photobooth and danced all night. A real highlight of the night was when guests headed over to the personalized cognac and cigar bar. They learned how to roll authentic cigars, and left with a unique keepsake from the night. The Hammons truly provided their guests with an “experience,” which only enhanced their celebration of love!

Very nice wedding!!!! But to the Editor(s) at Munaluchi Bridal, please proof-read your documents prior to publishing them. As an English major, I was appalled at the misspelling of “alter”. It should be spelled “Altar.” Altar is a structure on which sacrifices are made; Alter means to change. Sorry to have to set your straight! Love your mag, though!!!!
Beautiful wedding! Everything looks wonderful.
To the commenter above, you have a typo in your grammar critique. You meant to say “Sorry to have to set YOU straight” instead of “Sorry to have to set your straight” I believe.
