Here is a cake that Ellie made for Sandy and Mike’s wedding this past weekend. Sandy’s mom provided the adorable cake topper and flowers, and Joyce decorated the cake with the flowers. This cake is so cute!

Tricia and John

Congratulations to Tricia and John who got married here this past Sunday! Their reception was held in our Seville Ballroom. Tricia was the complete do-it-yourself bride and it is clear that she put so much time and effort into making her wedding special and unique. Below you will see all the cool details of her wedding…

Stacia and Dan

Another Valentine’s Day wedding! Stacia and Dan got married at Blessed Sacrament Church today, and held their wedding reception here on our outdoor Pavilion. I’m so happy to finally have pictures of the Pavilion! Stacia created her own centerpieces. I always love a hands-on bride. Of course, what’s a Valentine’s Day wedding without a little red….

Debbie and David

Congratulations to Debbie and David, who got married here on Valentine’s Day! Their wedding was a little more low key. The couple chose to have the guests stand during the ceremony, which is a bit unusual, however it was pretty cute the way everyone ended up standing so close to the altar. It created a more intimate feeling.

Their reception was held in our Foyer. I loved their tall red and gold candleholders..

I know this is quite off subject, but this is awesome. There is now a label on these water bottles so we can put our names on it. Who thinks of this stuff?Gone are the days of asking “Is this water bottle yours or mine?” or, in my case, writing the letter “k” on the bottle cap with a permanent marker…

Maryrose and Max got married here at Orange Tree and, despite the forecast of rain this weekend, the sky was clear and bright for their ceremony. What a great couple. Amazingly enough, I found out that Maryrose’s niece actually got married here at Orange Tree a few years back! Maryrose basically planned her entire wedding with us via email because they live in Portland. And I even got to help Joyce create the wonderful centerpieces, which was such a treat!

Custome chocolate wedding favors for the guests. I love the way they incorporated their wedding colors.
