Christine and Carl tied the knot

Mariann August 9th, 2008

Christine and Carl flew in from Stockholm to get married in a beautiful outside ceremony at Fox Hollow.

Reception immediately followed in the Winter Garden room.

Christine carried a big gorgeous bouquet of her favorite flowers, sunflowers, with crystal branch highlights.

The bridesmaids all wore blue dresses and the cake was also blue with yellow daisies - the same colors as the Swedish flag.

The couple exchanged rings and vows and also lit candles in lanterns symbolizing the joining of two families.

The center pieces full of sunflowers and hanging candles looked gorgeous in the Winter Garden.

All flowers and bouquets were created by Pedestals.

The place cards were sunflower lollipops sticking out from a moss base - it looked like a mini sunflower field. Very creative and edible!!
