Bloggin' at the Beach

That's right folks, eat your hearts out... I'm at the beach. After another whirlwind wedding this weekend in Columbiana, I'm taking a week off to enjoy the beach. It's a much needed break and an opportunity to spend some much needed time with my wife before Jack arrives. Oh and by the way, robbers and thieves beware; we've got someone staying in the house. So it's not quite a free-for-all over at the Little's.

This weekend's wedding was one of my favorite (though I think I say that about all of them). It was an outdoor ceremony in a beautiful open-air chapel at the 4-H Center. The reception was held in the newly constructed certified green building there. I know what you're thinking... 4-H?? Seriously, the place is absolutely stunning.

For the simple but elegant ceremony we draped the chapel in flowing white fabric, suspended a candle chandelier from the ceiling, and put a huge all-white arrangement on the alter. In keeping with the natural feel of the location, we devised a very "earthy" theme for the reception, using gnarled kiwi vine and cymbidium orchid centerpieces. The decor was topped off with a fabulous custom ice sculpture by Chef David Bromley.

Again, it couldn't have been possible without my INCREDIBLE team. They impress me more and more with each event.
