Hawthorne Gardens ~ Amelia + Kurtis ~ July 15, 2017
Hawthorne Gardens was the beautiful backdrop for this NFL couple whom tied the knot on a warm summer day in July of 2017.
Amelia contacted Tracie in November of 2016 as she was looking for a wedding planner to help plan her wedding since she was living in Houston, Texas. Her fiancee plays for The Houston Texans and there were only limited dates to have the wedding due to his training schedule. After a few location changes we ended on July 15 at Hawthorne Gardens in Marshall, MI. The ceremony took place in her home town of Albion with a reception to follow.
I just love the water fountains pictures, especially this one!
Hawthorne Gardens offers beautiful gardens for photos. She is so stunning!
The tent and grounds looked amazing at Hawthorne Gardens. It was a beautiful day for a tent wedding!
Hawthorne Gardens tent looked amazing in shades of gold and pink. We used gold sparkle linens on the specialty tables to give an extra pop!
Of course we had a Tailgate Themed Cocktail Hour. Thomas’s Catering provided delicious snacks while the guests waited for the bridal party to arrive. 7 layer chips and dip, tater tots on a skewer with dipping sauce and more!
Italian ruscus is always a nice touch!
We carried the Mr. and Mrs. theme throughout the design of the event.
Go Texans and Go State (Where the couple met) !
Everyone loves a game of cornhole!
Ok now the cake cutting had to be one of my favorite moments of the day. Kurtis is so funny the way he eats his cake, barely sharing any with his new bride. LOL
He was loving the cake and jamming to “Love On Top” by Beyonce that played during this moment.
Ok now he gives her a little bite!
I kept telling them it would be a bomb-ass dance party with Elysium as our entertainment for the evening and it sure was! Everyone had a great time!
Isn’t she the cutest?
