Memphis 50th Wedding Anniversary! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

This is Mr. Bob and Ms. Lee Etta! They were recently married for 50 years!!!! That is just absolutely amazing to me and they were still just as adorable as ever. They had their anniversary party at the Courtyard Marriott in the Avenue Shopping Center in Collierville. It was very nice with some of the most fabulous catering I've ever seen. They have truly been blessed and loved over the years, as there were TONS of friends there to congratulate them on such an amazing accomplishment. Their daughter, Martha, is a good friend of mine and prepared all the beautiful (and very tasty) food! The cake (made by Kake Deevas of Memphis) was gorgeous as well and was enjoyed by all. I believe Martha told me that there was only one piece left after the crowd came thru. The beautiful flowers were designed my LeFleur. I really enjoyed getting to be part of this with them! I hope you get inspired by seeing this couple as they have made it last thru the test of time! Take a look at a few from their special day!

Courtney's Bridal Shower! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Since Courtney and I are such good friends, I got the honor of attending her bridal shower. And of course I brought my camera. Courtney was funny because I showed her one on the back of the camera and she said she had never seen a cheese tray look so good! That was funny! She got tons of great gifts and looked so beautiful in her red dress.....red is Courtney's favorite color. Beau came in at the end to thank the guests, so I grabbed a quick snap of them together.

A few of Courtney's wedding day vendors had some of their beautiful work there as well. The flower arrangement and Courtney's corsage were provided by floral artist Charese Feliciano Designs. Charese has such amazing, modern designs...I can't wait to see what she does for the wedding. Check her work out at her site, http://www.charesefelicianodesigns.com/. The cookies were created by her cake artist, the Kake Deevas in Cordova. Their web address is http://kakedeevas.com/. And finally, the star of the table, was the cupcake tower. This was created by Sugar Bowl Cupcakes. Check out their beautiful creations at their site, http://www.sugarbowlcupcakes.com/. Also, might I recommend the strawberry....it was simply amazing! I don't think I ever tasted a cupcake so good in my life!
