Now here's a bride and groom truly having fun on the dance floor at their July 2010 wedding reception! It's amazing how Krakora Studios uniquely captured the energy and emotion associated with a great dance...DJ'd by fellow Madison Wedding Guild member, Juke Box Bandstand. From the bride and groom's choreographed entrance to "Way You Make Me Feel" by Michael Jackson, to the very last song of the night, an upbeat and festive tone endured!
A refreshing and customized music mix was put together to keep the dance floor moving (and jumping=)) the entire evening. The following picture highlights some of Juke Box Bandstand's festive LED dance floor lighting.
And as this groom learned the hard way, "Look out for flying bouquets!"
Winter can be a tough time of year to have a wedding in Wisconsin. Not only is it cold, but it is very unpredictable. The chances of having out of town guests stranded at airports around the country are pretty high. Some brides won't even let themselves dream of a winter wedding, even if they truly love the season. Katherine did not shy away from the winter wedding idea. Instead she let it inspire her. She dreamed of whimsical winter scenes surrounded by twinkling lights, snow covered tables, pine trees and a bit of winter magic. Most important to her however was her guests. She wanted each guest to feel special and to know their importance to her and her husband, Michael. Each guest received a boxed invitation filled with fake snow and beautifully designed stationery by Sugar Pear Designs. On the response card, they were to pick their meal and at their place setting they found hand calligraphied personal menus to match their preferences.This is one of the many examples of the personal touches that she added to her wedding.
The reception was held at Nakoma Country Club and each room was carefully designed by Andrea of Fleurishes and Katherine. The first room was where guests could linger by the fire. The cake make by Chris's Confections was banked by bookcases filled with candles and small silver deer with tulip bouquets. When we walked into the main room, it was as if we walked into a winter wonderland. Each table was lite by a blue light from above. The edges of the room were scattered by beautifully lit pine trees. It was an exquisite and unique affair. We (Krakora Studios) felt truly honored to be able to document such loveliness.
