Brad and I met through mutual friends while attending college, and I was immediately attracet to Brad's personality. We became good friends, which led to a courtship over the next 4 and a half years. Brad proposed on Valentine's Day 2010. We had gone to Green Bay for the weekend and I had a feeling that he might propose because he was dropping hints about how excited he was to geve me a present that night. We exchanged gifts and Brad got me a full bag of goodies and at the bottom of one of the bags was a little box (I thought it could be a ring), but no I was wrong, it was a beautiful pair of earrings. Needless to say I was disappointed when I realized it wasn't a ring. (Brad told me later that it was all part of his plan.)
After returning home from our weekend I walked into our bedroom, and Brad had it all decorated. While I was in awe and thinking how sweet he was for decorating for Valentine's Day he walked in the room behind me and said "Happy four and a half years babe and hopefully for the rest of our lives." I heard that unmistakeable snap of a box and turned around and found him down on one knee! Waterworks cued on and hugs and kisses to follow! "I take it that's a yes" he said, and I agreed.
Next cam the planning. We did not want to wait long as we didn't want to stress for a year for an event I knew we could plan in a few months. My first choices for hall (The Danforth Place) and photographer (Freeman's Photography) were both available on the same day! So the date was set for only 3 short months away. Now the only stress I had was about the decorations, flowers and invitations. I immediately thought of Tiffany and Final Touches Designs. I knew Tiffany previously as she assisted my Maid of Honor during her wedding in Mexico and I loved everything she had done. So I told my maid of honor that she had one task and that was to get Tiffany to do our wedding. I knew that Tiffany could plan a wedding faster than anyone.
My first meeting with Tiffany was quick and easy. I told her in advance what colors I wanted ans she came prepared to the meeting with plenty of ideas, pictures and props to show. She was incredibly easy to work with and is so talented at what she does.
Our ceremony was also at the Danforth Place and I still wanted to have the feel of a church and the closeness with our friends and family. Tiffany and her team made everyting look so amazing that at my first glimpse of the hall tears were flowing at how beautiful the place had become. The wall with drapery from floor to ceiling and up-lights, a canopy we were married under, and an isle runner customized with our monogram and wedding date. I was in shock, as it was more than I ever could have imagined.
I went to get dressed and took a sneak peak at the place almost finished with all the fresh flowers on the tables, it was amazing. The colors were magnifacent. Our bouquets were so full and beautiful and with all fresh flowers. Throughout the night we heard compliment after compliment that this was the most beautiful wedding that anyone had ever been too. I can't thank Tiffany and Final Touches Designs enough. I never had to worry about a thing. The best thing was that she took care of everything. Invitations, flowers and decorations, she was amazing at everything shed did, and created a masterpiece!
