Alison & Dustin- April 30, 2011

Alison surprised Dustin by wearing cowboy boots under her dress! Her bouquet was simple and elegant with orange, yellow, and white roses.
Alison and Dustin made a CD with songs from their big day to share with guests as their favors!
To ensure cards don't get lost, using an old birdcage like Alison and Dustin did makes for a cute safe way to collect cards! Add a simple touch of rose petals to the bottom to add an extra pop!
Alison and Dustin found these adorable bride and groom candles to decorate their sign in table!
Justin serves in the United States Army and Alison sported a camo colored garter! To check out more great military wedding accessories click-here!
Spring time has arrived! The burst of yellow in the bridesmaids dresses went well with all the fresh blooming flowers at Villa de Amore.
Alison decided to wear the traditional "Blush Veil"
Candles have a hard time staying lit while outside so the Unity Sand Ceremony is a great alternative.
Military Wedding Tradition dictates that as the bride and groom pass through the arch, the last two bearers drop their sabers or swords, forming a cross to block the path of the couple. The groom then kisses his bride. The crossed swords are raised for the couple to pass through. The bearer on the bride's side, as she passes by, gently swats the bride on the back side and says "Welcome to the Army, Ma'am." .

The bride and groom loved Jason Aldean's song "Big Green Tractor" and were excited to hop on the John Deer and have some fun with pictures. Listen to the song Click-Here!


While the cake cutting ceremony is important to most wedding celebrations  it takes on additional significance in a military wedding. The bride and groom use a selected officer's or the groom's saber to make the ceremonial first slice.

After the brie and grooms first dance they surprised guests by breaking in to a orchestrated routine of fun dance moves that had everyone cheering them on!
Sharing your wedding day with a family member or friends birthday? Celebrate together like Alison and Dustin did by singing happy birthday and placing candles in the first slice of wedding cake served to guests!
We have added over 3000 LED twinkle lights throughout the property to give night time photos a fairytale romantic glow!
