A Worldly Affair!

The story of Rachel and Jonty's courtship is full of laugh and long distance love. But not much could keep the happy couple apart and they celebrated their eternal union with style and class and friends from far and wide!

The couple first contacted me when they were living abroad in Hong Kong. Planning a wedding is stressful enough without the thousands of miles that separate you from your venue. So I was thrilled to assist the couple.

Rachel opted to replace any cut flowers with paper crafted poms from gorgeous purple and silver papers. The poms acted as centerpieces, napkin rings and wine bottle charms. The LED candles were encased in gorgeous purple glass votives holders. Seating was assigned and the table's were designated by maps of metropolitan cities worldwide. The perfect touch for this worldly couple!

All the rage cupcakes were iced with delicious lavendar and vanilla frosting. The meal was deliciously prepared by first time caterers - Jaker's - and the bar was stocked with local beer to be sipped by their friends who traveled from all over, including Pakistan, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and of course Montanan's from Miles City and Great Falls!

Love was in the air and it couldn't be escaped! Both the Father of the Bride and the Groom showered Rachel and their guests with adoring stories and heartfelt thanks. When the dancing begin it was hard to pull anyone off the dance floor. It was definitely the place to be! Ryan, the gracious DJ from RMF DJ's, continued to play well into the night after the guests insisted on dancing some more, and more and more.
