Real Wedding: Joyela and Kenneth

by admin on June 12, 2009

When we first met with Joyela to discuss her wedding stationery, we knew immediately that her suite would end up being one of our favorites!  With an eye for detail and a love for glitz and glam, Joyela made it clear early on that she wanted to wow her wedding guests from the moment the invitations were received until the last car pulled away from the venue. 
 
Joyela, a small town girl from Tampa, Florida, and her Groom Kenneth, who is the Prince in Henshaw Town Calabar Nigeria, fell in love years ago and knew that when the time came to get married it would be a celebration like none other!
The couple exchanged vows at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Sarasota, Florida.  Following the ceremony, guests made their way to the Ringling Museum where they were greeted by professional photograhers who snapped their pictures in true “red carpet” style.  Throughout the evening, guests were entertained by live performances including African dancers and Comedian Darrien Perkins, a.k.a. “Hair-larious.”

For dinner, guests were seated at long feasting tables with names inspired by 1 Corinthians 13.  For example, Love is…Kind, Hope, Compassion, etc.  At each place setting, guests found square charges with round centers where our custom cut round menu cards were set.  Each  menu card was embellished with Swarovski crystals, the chandelier and custom monogram from the invitation design.

 The staff of Catering By Design provided a white-glove, synchronized service.  I hear it was a sight to see!  Once dinner was over, the couple cut their custom designed wedding cake created by Chocolate Pi.
