Katrina + Garret

By Melissa

I am so excited to share this wedding with you! It was such a great day for so many reasons! For starters this was the first wedding I have coordinated at Matthei Botanical Gardens (where I married my sweet hubby 6 years ago!). Secondly, Katrina and Garret are such a fun, beautiful couple!

Why the blind fold you ask??? Garret did not want to see his beautiful bride until she walked down the aisle. How sweet is that?

Another reason that this was such a great day..... Look at these flowers! I worked my butt off on these flowers and I LOVED the way they turned out!

Not a fan of cake? Katrina and Garret cut a butterhorn instead! And they were delicious!

I LOVE this too! Half way in to the Father/Daughter dance the MC invited all fathers and daughters to the dance floor. Then they did the same for the Mother/Son dance. So sweet!

The Newlywed Shoe game is always sure to get a good laugh out of your guests!

This was new to me. It's a German tradition where the bride and groom are lifted in chairs wearing baby bonnets and everyone sings a song. It ends wit them chugging a beer!
