The Best Day Ever...The Reception {Part 2}

More reception fun...I just had to post these--too great for words. In this lineup, more dancing from the live musical stylings of Scat Springs, action from the garter/bouquet toss, late night treats for the guests, and our sendoff into honeymoon land!

The Best Day Ever...The Reception {Part 1}

The best part, right? To me, the ceremony was the most important part of our wedding celebration, but I think all brides can agree that the part they look forward to the most after months and months of planning is the reception...the perfect time to see all your hard work pay off, and the time where you can cut loose with your friends and family, and have the time of your life! Up first, the beginning elements of the reception--transportation to the venue, entrances and first dances, cake cutting, and then time for dancing! {Forgive me ahead of time, we're going to have a few reception posts...just so many fun pictures to share!

The spiffy bridal party ride

Time to cut the cakes!! They were just too pretty

cheese icing topped with ivory fondant and sugar peonies

He played nicely ;)

Jeff's grooms cake was a Jack Daniel's bottle--a kahlua chocolate cake with
chocolate cream cheese icing...so rich!
