We love working with brides as sweet as Rachel. We've known her for years working with Grand Center Inc. helping with events such as First Night and Dancing in the Street. She is a down to Earth type of girl who is the sweetest (and not to mention gorgeous!) girl we could ever work with. When we were discussing her wedding at her hometown of Anna, Illinois, the ideas started jumping and I could barely keep up with the notes. Lucky You designed the florals and coordinated her wedding. Below are some highlights of her spectacular day!
Rachel's elementary school was transformed into an adorable bed and breakfast (how cool is that!) and the wedding party and plenty of guests flooded this B&B the weekend of the wedding. She and her girls got ready and it provided a perfect backdrop for some unique photos.
The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect. The church was filled to the rafters with close family and friends from near and far. The bride's brother is a priest at the church, so it was a no-brainer that he would officiate his little sister's wedding. It was easy to say that the tears were flowing non-stop. Guests were greated walking out of the ceremony as well as a welcome at the reception to a fabulous bagpiper! She was spot on with perfect details.
The reception was held on her parent's rural home backyard. With rolling hills and the most amazing view you can imagine, every guest was oohing and ahing at the sights.
And now folks, the piece d'resistance: A drum playing bride! When I saw the crowd gathering, I couldn't help but have my curiosity peak and this is what I saw!
Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Kell! A beautiful couple, both inside and out. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness!
