These are a few of my favorite things:

Garden Party Vibes

Sophia designed the PRETTIEST tables! Lace runners, crystal bowls, bud vases with delicately beautiful early summer blooms, and thoughtfully made dried citrus name tags. It all came together in a stunning table scape that was simple, beautiful, and welcoming. My favorite part was their custom table names. Each table was named after a place their truck had broken down. Sophia typed the cutest stories on the back so guests could read about their unplanned adventures in Luke's infamous truck.

Outfit change for the books

It is fairly common for the bride to switch dresses during dancing so it's easy to get their groove on, but what we didn't expect was for Luke to change to. Gone were the slacks and button down, and here to party were the cheetah print board shorts and fun, flowery surfer shirt. Then he donned some pink party glasses and was ready to get back to the dance floor.

Private Cake Cutting

As lovers of all things sweet, we LOVED this private cake-cutting idea. Sophia and Luke took time during their dance party to step away and cut their cake by themselves. It was such a cute, fun moment for them to soak in the magic of their day. Jordan from Ponderosa Portraits ofcourse worked her magic and got some epic flash photography pictures.
