Alex + Robbie's Richmond Wedding
Our wedding had so many fun details that really made the day. It started with having 2 massage therapists available for the bridesmaids to have a relaxing massage the morning of the wedding while getting ready. We had a very large bridal party, 13 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen. This made the day so fun having all of our incredible friends with us. Believe it or not, the whole day was calm and perfect. People thought we were crazy having such a large bridal party but truly we couldn't imagine it any other way.
We loved having our cocktail hour prior to the ceremony, this ensured guests were on time for the ceremony but also that they had hors d'oeuvres and drinks prior, guests were able to mingle and then bring a cocktail to the ceremony with them.
We had an after party at the bowling alley which allowed guests to keep the night going in a fun and relaxed environment.
My daughter (Aspen, 13 years old) was my Maid of Honor, this was so special and during the ceremony we wanted to do something to represent us coming together as a family. We chose a butterfly release to symbolize growth and change.
We had a live painter on site. She painted a picture of the butterfly release during the ceremony. Guests were able to watch the painting come to life throughout the night!
Lastly, my dress was a custom dress & veil and it exceeded my expectations. I was able to have the beautiful colorful wedding dress that stood out from our black & white themed wedding that I dreamed of.
Bride’s Advice: I was very lucky that my sister got married the year prior at the same venue and my mom was previously an event/wedding planner. This made the wedding seamless and I didn't stress about many things.
