Congratulations Evan & Elizabeth Ulery!

What a GORGEOUS day for a wedding!

Saturday was a stunningly beautiful day with a blue sky, slight breeze and a comfortable 78 degrees. Perfect for Elizabeth & Evan to tie the knot outside. When I met Liz I told her that I had a direct line to God when it came to outside weddings and she laughed. Whatever it was, it was certainly a picture perfect day.

Liz and Evan were a joy to work with. Both are very much in love with the other and it showed in everything they did. The wedding they planned was classy with a bit of fun thrown in as shown by their unique entrance at the reception. But more on that later.

The Ceremony was held at O Aces in Peru. I had never been there before but you can be sure that I will be back. The location was beautiful and rustic with a charming pond and waterfall complete with a wooden bridge for the Groomsmen to walk over as they entered the tent. The incomparable Pastor Cole was the officiant and did a beautiful job as usual. The Bridal Party was a lot of fun to work with and they were all very helpful. They looked good too!


Liz was stunning as she walked the path to her Father. The scenery was just so pretty for the whole ceremony.
The photographer was Sara Hart and she did a fantastic job. Her pictures are well done - she really captured the feeling of the day and I hope I get the chance to work with her again.

The reception was held at Casa Bella and as always, was a beautiful night. The couple chose black & white with a pale blue as an accent color. These really made the room look elegant and not overly-done. The beautiful centerpieces were done by Evan's Aunt Sabrina and were gorgeous. I think too many Brides think the more they do the better and more expensive the wedding looks. Nothing could be farther from the truth, but Liz and Evan both really understood this.


A lot of this wedding was a family affair. In addition to his aunt doing the flowers; Evan's cousin Joe Ulery was the D.J. for the evening and was A LOT of fun to work with. He kept the party hoping until the last dance, just like the couple wanted. The entrance of the Bridal Party was extremely unique and fun. They all entered to "Ladies & Gentlemen" by Saliva. It talks about "Welcome to the main event" and was very well done. They all looked like they had fun doing it - the most important part. Evan's Uncle Steve also did the videography. It is always nice to see a family pull together to make a wedding happen for the Bride & Groom.


The cake was made by Create-A-Cake and was as DELICIOUS as it was beautiful. One of these days I will figure out how to get through a wedding without having to eat the cake; but until then I WILL ENJOY IT!

The day was as perfect as a wedding can get; The Bride and Groom looked fabulous and were glowing; the guests enjoyed themselves from beginning to end; and I had the honor of being at the beginning of yet another wonderful marriage.

Elizabeth and Even: I wish you nothing but bliss together. May you hold each other through thick and thin and experience all that life has waiting for you.

God Bless!
