Tricia Huddas & Co. Real Savannah Wedding: Jennifer and Kris

Jennifer and Kris were married on a beautiful May day at the Isle of Hope United Methodist Church surrounded by family and friends. Jennifer did an exceptional job with all of her plans, and I was excited to take the reigns the day of and ensure she and Kris had the wedding of their dreams. This was helped along by a great group of friends in their wedding party - "We're professionals" one of the groomsmen assured me! 

The couple exchanged traditional vows and did not take their eyes off each other the whole time. Following the ceremony, the wedding party took a trolley to the bluff around the church for photos before joining guests at the Telfair Academy for a night of dancing and general merriment. Friends of the groom, the ladies at A to Zinnias outdid themselves and found the most beautifully saturated blue hydrangeas to enhance the decor. 

Creative Catering provided the yummy southern fare, including pigs in a blanket and fried chicken! Almost as soon as the cake was cut, it was all gone, thanks to the delicious designs from Carrie Briscoe at Two Cakes. Filled up with delicious food and cake, everyone hit the dance floor for the rest of the night, only taking breaks to refill a beverage or to catch their breath between songs. As the guests lined the sidewalk outside ready to send them off under a canopy of sparklers, Jennifer and Kris shared a final dance by themselves in the rotunda before hopping on a carriage to take them off into the next chapter of their lives!

Tremendous thanks to Christine Hall for these lovely images.

 

Congratulations Jennifer and Kris! We wish you a long and happy life together.

Tricia Huddas & Co. Real Savannah Wedding: Heather and Cory

Heather and Cory had a beautiful June 4 ceremony and reception at the Davenport House Museum Garden. This St. Louis couple fell in love with the city of Savannah on a previous trip and given that the groom's last name is also Davenport, why not get married in the house with his out namesake! Like many out of town couples, we got plans started via email and phone and put the finishing touches on everything during a weekend trip into the city. This is my favorite part of planning because I get to spend some quality face time with the couple and really see their personalities, which helps me to ensure the couple's personalities shine throughout the wedding day!

The couple had a small ceremony with close family and friends, with a delicious dinner reception to follow catered by Paul Kennedy Catering. Heather looked absolutely stunning in her white lace gown and Cory's light gray suit was a perfect touch for the garden wedding. The flowers were a mix of ivory, lavender, accented with  greenery giving the feel of a quentissentially Savannah garden wedding. Heidi and Natalie at A to Zinnias took the couple's idea and ran with it to enhance the already beautiful gardens. Kerry O'Connor Cake Design created the delicious wedding cake featuring a lace design to match Heather's dress and light blue accents. Guests were entertained on the dance floor all night long with the musical styling of the Silver Lining Trio. The couple even had a special personal touch to their reception with monogrammed cookies baked especially for the couple by a friend from St. Louis...yummy!

Heather and Ryan from Heather Roth Photography shot the following beautiful photos. They traveled all the way from St. Louis to shoot the wedding and we had such a great time!

So happy to finally be married...these two are the epitome of sweet love!

Congratulations, Heather and Cory! We wish you a happy and healthy life together!

Tricia Huddas & Co. Real Savannah Wedding: Danielle & Trey

Danielle and Trey were married the first weekend in May and they could not have asked for a more beautiful day! This fun loving couple was surrounded by their family and friends as they exchanged vows at the Bluffton United Methodist Church. After photos, everyone was ready to kick off their heals at the home of the parents of the groom where a tent housed the evening's festivities.

Providing the perfect natural backdrop, the May River gave us a cool breeze, which kept the afternoon heat off as we waited for the sun to go down. Guests arrived for cocktail hour to the sounds of the steel drums and a premium tequila bar. As was expected, the fire pit recently installed in the back yard drew quite the crowd all night long as guests enjoyed a rock in the rocking chairs between turns on the dance floor thanks to the wonderful DJ Andy with Hilton Head Entertainment. One of the perks of having the reception in your backyard is the party can go on as long as you want!

Neil Cowley with Make Love Real photography was able to capture these beautiful images of the day. Trey and Danielle are sure to remember every detail of the day thanks to Neil's work. Click Here to view a slideshow of the day.

I just love this photo of the tiki torch flame with Danielle and Trey in the background!

Before heading out for the night, Neil was able to snap one last photo of the couple enjoying their wedding day.

Congratulations Danielle and Trey!

Dear Fellow Savannah Event Professionals...

Some of you have heard, but for those who have not, we want to pass along some news about one of our own. Ricky Moore, one of the Savannah Special Events delivery leads was in a terrible car accident over the weekend of June 18. So many of you have met him but may not actually know him. He is currently in the ICU and the doctors recently put him under a chemically induced coma to allow his brain time to heal along with his other injuries.

Ricky and his wife, seen below with their oldest son, had another baby just days before the accident, and this is an extremely hard time on their family. He is a gentle soul and in need of your thoughts and prayers to pull through this because it is going to be a long, long recovery.

Ricky and the delivery guys at Savannah Special Events do more than just deliver and setup their rentals - they help us unload our cars, show up early, and help us out when they really don't have to. Let's show our support and help Ricky and his family through this tough time.

An account has been setup at Wells Fargo Bank to collect donations - Charles Moore Donation Fund: Account # 7964140623. The Moore family needs our help now more than ever. Anything will help.

Tricia Huddas & Co. Real Savannah Wedding: Tara and Eric

Tara and Eric were married during an intimate ceremony on May 21st at Bethesda Home For Boys, with a small dinner reception following at the Olde Pink House. The Bethesda chapel served as the ceremony venue and was decorated with candles by the altar and flowers lining the aisle. A memory candle was placed at the front of the chapel in memory of Eric's late mother, which provided an extra special and unique touch to the ceremony. Tara looked very elegant in her ivory lace gown, and she was filled with excitement to be marrying the love of her life!

After a guided tour of historic Savannah, guests were taken to The Olde Pink House for the reception for an intimate dinner with close friends and family. The decorations were simple but beautiful, with candles lining the center of the table and the fireplace mantle. Thank you to Garden on the Square for providing the amazing flowers for the ceremony and reception! Kerry O'Connor Cake Design provided the marvelous and gorgeous cake for the reception.

Tricia Huddas & Co. Real Savannah Wedding: Jennifer and Michael

Jennifer and Michael's beautiful April 30 wedding took place at the Plantation Club at the Landings on Skidaway Island. You could tell that Jennifer and Michael were so happy and in love from the smiles they wore all day! The ceremony was held outside the club along the banks of a small pond. Savannah Special Events by Ranco provided the seating for the ceremony and linens for the reception.

Amy and her team of wonderful designers at Harvey Designs outdid themselves with this one making the location even more beautiful with their amazing floral creations. There had to be over 100,000 flowers in the entire reception area! No two centerpieces were the same, which made the reception that much more unique. Kerry O'Connor Cake Design provided the yummy and beautiful wedding cake, which looked elegant next to all the floral arrangements. Guests were entertained on the dance floor all night long by the rockin' sounds provided by Andrew Thielen Big Band. Hunter McRae from Memories n More Photography provided all these gorgeous photos from the day!

Jennifer looks so happy to be walking down the aisle to marry the love of her life!

Officially Mr. and Mrs. Lacovara!

Congratulations, Jennifer and Michael! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
