Melissa & Allen | August 26 , 2016
How They Met : A mutual friend introduced Melissa and Allen during the first day of frosh week in university . With their rooms only three downs from one another in residence they quickly became good friends . A few years after graduation , Melissa and Allen finally started dating .
The Reception : Following a quaint rustic church ceremony , Melissa and Allen welcome their guests to a lovely garden reception with sparkling wine , cocktails and hors d ’ oeuvres at Manoir Hovey . A live musician played classical and Spanish guitar on the terrace while guests took in the beautiful weather and lake views . Artisanal maple fudge and personal thank you cards were handed out to everyone in attendance as they sat down to an excellent four-course candlelit dinner .
The Decor : To maintain the beauty of the venue , Melissa and Allen kept the decor simple and elegant . Abeille Fleuriste created gorgeous natural floral arrangements to go along with antique brass vases , long candlesticks and satin napkins . The romantic theme was completed with a delectable sweet table stocked with lemon tart meringues , truffles , macarons , a strawberry shortcake and three-tiered wedding cake .
