Wedding: Shaquan & Michael – Alley Station – Montgomery, Alabama

You know the wedding is off to a chic start when you get to the bride’s suite at the Renaissance Hotel and see an Alfred Angelo gown and violet Badgley Mischka shoes:Add perfect makeup (courtesy of Makeup Madness by Cherry), a birdcage veil (can I just say I LOVE them???), and pomanders (by Jean the Florist) – and you’ve gone way past chic into stunning territory: I loved that Shaquan had her brother walk her down the aisle, and they had doves released in memory of their loved ones who are no longer with us:And on their way out, they jumped the broom. Instead of a ring bearer, they had a broom bearer, and apparently he overestimated Shaquan’s jumping ability when he set the broom down – Michael had to move it closer a couple of times before Shaquan thought she could cover the distance in her dress!At the reception, guests were treated to cakes by Cake Designs (white cake for the bride, red velvet for the groom), and entertainment by the awesome band Az-Izz:We decided to take a few more pictures just for giggles (and without the birdcage veil so we could see more of Shaquan’s gorgeous face):Shaquan and Michael – I hope you finally got to go on that honeymoon (they had to postpone their Virgin Islands honeymoon since there was a tropical storm in the area), but if you didn’t, I hope you ate a bunch of that leftover cake in the meantime! 😉
