Wedding Special - The reception

For the reception we had a lot of ideas, since you can imagine, we had a year to plan. I have to thank my mother in law since she was the one that took care of a lot of the planning, she had great ideas, she took initiative but always kept in mind what me and Traian wanted. She was the perfect wedding planner. We wanted to have vintage elements and we managed in the end to have a romantic vintage themed wedding.


One thing we did, was to gather pictures from our parents and grandparents weddings, frame them and put them on display in a special corner. The desk contained also the memoir book where the guests could share a few words with us and  a lot of old elements that belonged to our loved ones. It was our way of honoring our family, especially the ones that are no longer with us, and whom we miss so much.

Our wedding invite was a bike themed one, and we wanted to incorporate this in our decor. It was very special.

For the tables we went with two types of centerpieces. One was the chandelier and the other one, was the lamp, that again were my mother in law's creation. And we also went with small flower arrangement's spread all over the tables and the restaurant.

For the cake we chose to go with with and with a lace pattern. We put only a pink hydrangea on top. As flavor it was red velvet with red fruit.

The first dance was another special moment for us. We chose the song together. I remember that it was after we set the date, that we were driving back from Romania and we had just bought from a gas station the newest album from Elvis Presley, Viva Elvis. When the song Can't help falling in love with you (remix version) started we looked at each other and we knew this was it. It sounds cheesy, I know, but it was just one of those moments that I will remember all my life. We took some dance lessons before the wedding and learned a simple choreography. It helped a lot and made the hole dancing moment perfect.

I just love the looks of our friends in the background :)
