Amanda and Jason's Wedding in Paradise

Jason and Amanda were married at the beautiful Paradise Cove in Grapevine, TX. I've never seen Amanda in anything but brightly colored clothing, and the wedding echoed her love for sunny colors. Everything was done in vibrant hues of hot pink, bright orange, and lime green. The color scheme made it into everything including the amazing floral arrangements (commissioned from Blooms Forever) and the cakes (delectably made by Delicious Cakes of Southlake) and candy bar (which was a huge hit). The outdoor wedding was decked out in vibrancy as well, with almost every inch was decorated with amazing brightly colored flowers of all types, shiny hot pink banners of silk, and of course the naturally brilliant colors found at the venue by the lake. Adding to the drama, what started as a warm humid day, gave way to remnants of Hurricane Gustav. As guests arrived, they found beautiful custom fans, and bottled water with engagement photos of the beaming couple. Amanda wore a gorgeous jeweled encrusted gown, and Jason and his men opted for a lightly colored summer inspired ensemble. Just as Amanda made her way to the richly decorated gazebo overlooking Lake Grapevine, amazing winds blew in. Amanda looked a bit worried, but she soon saw that she had no reason to be. Even though the winds were strong, and the skies drew dark the couple and the audience felt the cool relief of much cooler weather. The skies added to the drama, as Amanda's veil danced around. It was so beautiful, and so memorable. Everything was fine though: Just as Jason and Amanda shared their first kiss as a married couple, the skies cleared as if to bless the loving couple.
