Carlye and Erik’s music/T.V. themed wedding at The Paramount was amazing. When we first met with this sweet couple I knew their wedding would be a unique one. The day started off a little wet due to the weather and bride prep had to be redirected to the venue because of the rising tides near Carlye’s house. Carlye was one of the calmest easy going brides I have worked with. Her hair and make-up were already complete when she arrived at the venue and Carlye looked beautiful. Her and her bridesmaids finished getting dressed in the various secret rooms in the Founders Room. Carlye’s mom helped her with her stunning wedding gown that she had purchased in Paris a few months prior and it was perfect. She wore a simple yet stunning necklace to accent the dress. Erik and his groomsmen were getting ready upstairs in the Green Room before he was to head down for their first look. Carlye did a quick first look with her father before we set up her and Erik for their reveal. You could see the anticipation building up in Erik as his bride walked up behind him, and of course when Erik turned to see Carlye, the tears of emotions came. We took all of the family photos and bridal party photos in the Founders Room prior to going up to the main room for the ceremony. The main room for the ceremony was stunning with flowing white curtains, autumn leaves that lined the aisle and a beautiful artificial floral chuppa that Carlye’s dad designed. Erik’s emotions took over once again as his bride came walking down the aisle towards him. The couple’s vows were beautiful and emotional and even brought a tear or two to my eye. After the ceremony everyone enjoyed an amazing cocktail hour in the Founders Room as the T.V.’s all played episodes of Bob’s Burgers. After cocktail, guests re-entered the main room for the reception and the transformation of the room from the ceremony was amazing. The white curtains were pulled back and draped to expose the bar areas, the tables were adorned with beautiful fall colored floral arrangements, candles and at each place setting was a vintage record that would be used as a charger; every napkin had a beautiful white artificial flower with music notes that guests could wear as a boutonniere or in their hair. The table assignments (table numbers) were different television couples, like Peg & Al Bundy or Kevin Arnold & Winnie Cooper or Bob & Linda Belcher, Carlye and Erik’s table was Homer & Marge Simpson. When I said unique, even the wedding cake was television show themed with shows like The Simpons, Seinfeld and Bob Burgers, they even had a Homer and Marge Simpson cake topper. Carlye and Erik had an amazing band “Project Orange” play for the entire reception and they were fantastic and kept the dance floor packed all night. To end the evening, the venue set up the lobby as a pizzeria and the couple had Little Vincents Pizza for their guests to enjoy. What a fantastic event. Congratulations Carlye and Erik!!
