Lush Wedding at The Greenhouse at PNOC

With help from her bridesmaids, Nancy slipped on her shoes, combed in her veil, and added the last of her accessories inside the bridal suite at The Greenhouse at PNOC. Her bridesmaids changed into their light blue dresses and Nancy was given her bouquet. Across the way, Mike and his groomsmen suited up in grey with floral ties and matching boutonnieres. With both groups ready, the bride and groom headed outside for their first look while the wedding party watched from afar. A tap of the shoulder turned Mike around to see his beautiful bride. Smiles immediately filled both Nancy and Mike’s faces and a sweet hug was shared as the two exchanged heartwarming compliments. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen joined in for pictures, then they all lined up for ceremony.

Guests arrived in the lush ceremony space, signed Mike and Nancy’s guest book, then took a seat. A towering tree acted as the ceremony backdrop and little bundles of gypsophila were tied to the aisle chairs. Music cued up and Mike led the processional ending with Nancy. In front of all their closest family and friends, the bride and groom recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss. Guests cheered as the two newlyweds exited the ceremony into cocktail hour.

Cocktail hour came and went with Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Shrimp Ceviche, Old Fashioned Cocktails and Sidecar Martinis, then everyone was invited into the greenhouse for reception. A floral-decorated escort display helped guests find their assigned seats inside. Greenery and fairy light bottles decorated the tops of each table and ivory knotted napkins contrasted the black linens. Once everyone was seated, the newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at the sweetheart table. Sliced Beef Brisket, Thai Three Flavored BBQ Chicken, BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Hawaiian Style Potato Macaroni Salad, and Vermicelli Noodle Salad were served while friends and family shared toasts. The menu was selected by the bride and groom during their planning process with our Event Specialist, Brittany. Guests shared rave reviews of their meal as Mike and Nancy made their rounds to thank everyone for coming. The rest of the evening was spent dancing or posing at the photo booth for the perfect selfie with friends and Mike and Nancy snuck away for a newlywed kiss to close out the night.
