Lidia was European and Matt was American, making for a beautiful outdoor wedding reception at a private estate. We incorporated Middle Eastern traditions throughout the wedding, including a Hookah and Belly Dancers at the reception. We did sit down dining and had both a chocolate fountain and cake for dessert. The couple and their guests partied until the morning hours with a beautiful brunch the next morning.
Lidia and Matt also included “Sharing of the Bread, Salt and Wine,” a very popular Polish tradition, to their wedding. As tradition goes, the parents of the bride and groom greet the newly married couple with bread, which is lightly sprinkled with salt and a goblet of wine at the reception. With the bread, the parents are hoping that their children will never hunger or be in need. With the salt, they are reminding the couple that their life may be difficult at times, and they must learn to cope with life’s struggles. With the wine, they are hoping that the couple will never thirst and wish that they have a life of good health, and good cheer and share the company of many good friends. The parents then kiss the newly married couple as a sign of welcome, unity and love.
We designed the outdoor reception with bold orange table linens and brown chiavari chairs. The florals, designed by Artquest Flowers, included beautiful centerpieces full of brightly mixed flowers. Thank you to Tim Otto Photography for capturing the beautiful evening!
