Shelley & Tony Wed - Part 2 : A Night at the Museum

Part deux of Shelley & Tony's beautiful wedding day brings us to the sweet ceremony that would make Shelley a Mrs.

Beautiful floral arrangements for the ceremony were created by Ottawa Flowers and would later transition nicely into the reception decor!

All eyes were on the bride during the processional, but Shelley had her eyes on the prize!

It was a full house in the beautiful Queen's Lantern Room of the Canadian Museum of Nature for the ceremony

Sealed with a kiss!

Awesome customized gobo's personalized the cocktail reception room and Prestige Rental brought the lounge area together.

Dinner and dancing brought us to the Fourth-Floor Gallery for the reception.  The rich eggplant table covers by Groovy Linen really made the space pop in addition to the purple uplighting.  Little Cakes Cupcakes created a beautiful dessert table arrangement to compliment the couple's wedding colour palette.  The Candy Store candy buffet provided edible eye candy that guests could take away as party favours!  I also loved the look of the glow bar that Shelley & Tony had brought in for the evening!

An unscheduled visit by the Ottawa Fire Department offered some comic relief to the night and a one-of-a-kind photo op for the bride! 

Tulips and Maple Catering were serving up their delicious food at various stations and kept the guests flowing and mingling. 

Shelley and Tony were all smiles throughout their first dance surrounded by family and friends.  The official dancing portion of the evening was later fired up by a special appearance by piano man Tyler Kealey (Ottawaians might know him best from Fat Tuesday's duelling pianos).  Quality Entertainment would eventually take over and kept the party going late into the night! 

Last shot of the night!

So many elements incorporated throughout the day were so personal and insightful about the two individuals being celebrated and the people who love them.  Even the details carried some form of meaning for them.  Shelley and Tony had guests sign and leave them messages in a book about New York City (where they had gotten engaged) for instance.  The signing table was decorated with several anecdotes about the couple and also photos of couples who came before them (i.e. parents & grandparents) many of whom were present throughout the day.   

I could go on and on, but I will let my photos do the rest of the speaking. 

Many thanks again Shelley & Tony for including us in your celebration!

A big shout out to Jade for assisting me on this one and all that you do!

All the best!
