Dana and Robert were married one HOT summer day in August!
Here's hoping the romance remans as hot as the weather was that day!

Charlotte has so many gorgeous churches -
Dana and Robert were married at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church.
This beautiful architecture doesn't need a lot of decoration!
A contemporary twist on a wedding program.
The Epsicopal Church asks that most of the ceremony is written out,
so this simple beauty is a square trifold.
Since it was the end of summer,
Dana wanted to bring in colors that transitioned from summer to fall.
We used reds, oranges and browns with gold accents.
Roses, lilies and two types of orchids made up Dana's warm bouquet.
With the bride carrying color, the groom's orchids had to be in color as well!
Stems of gerber daisies gave the flower girls a pop of color, without popping the bank!
On to the reception at Byron's South End.
This bridesmaid shows of the chocolate brown dresses.
Flowered leighs were added post-ceremony.
They were brought from Hawaii by one of the members of the wedding party
and represent fertility.
Orchids were glued to a painted gold tree, which held red "leaves" that served as escort cards.
A close up of the cards/leaves.
Orchids were suspended in glass cylinders that lined the ledges at the reception site.
Orchids again were encased in glass and entwined with gold bullion.
The cylinders were then topped with a mix of flowers.
A friend created this four tier cake, scattered with red roses and the gerber daisies.
The guys in Peace and Love packed the dance floor - young and young at heart!
Dana and Robert left in a shower of bubbles. Off to a honeymoon in Mexico, Ole!
