August 10th, 2018 was predicted to be a rainy, hot day but the weather couldn't have been more perfect for the Hughes special day. The bridesmaids woke up in their matching lemon shorts and sparkly gold tops ready to get the day started. Hayden and Marlee, having known each other for almost 4 years, were reminiscing on going from friends, finances, to husband and wife in just 8 short months.
The ceremony venue was decked out with 26 people in the bridal party! The bridesmaids wore shades of purple from Lulus and the men wore navy suits and bowties. Hayden's tie complimented the theme with a purple floral pattern. Marlee wore a dress from the Steel Magnolia that was form fitting, lace, and had tons of pearls and sparkles. Each bridesmaid carried a bouquet of dried lavender, the smell was amazing!
The reception had beautiful, tall orchids from Rainbeau Orchids and gold sparkles incorporated everywhere. Drinks and desserts were offered and the dancing was definitely a requirement. As Hayden and Marlee said goodbye to their friends and ran under the sparklers, Hayden's dad mistakenly followed, such a funny ending to an even funner wedding.
This wedding also has a very special place in my heart because it was my very first wedding that was published in a magazine, it was published in Bridal Bliss Magazine.
