When I heard from Josh Bhatti's Mom that he was getting married, I just had to meet his gorgeous bride, Stephanie, and get things under way. This was no ordinary wedding, this was a legacy wedding, a torch passed from one sister, to her brother and then on to family and friends.
Based on the number of weddings that my company, chad michael peters has worked on for this family and their friends, I am sure to have one of the offspring named after me. Let's see, it started with Leila out on a gorgeous point in Marion, Massachusetts. From that wedding there was the darling Melissa and her hunky husband Bunky in Kennebunkport (say that one five times fast). Then Sarah Paglucia in in Newport, where I slow danced with Bunky to Celine Dion. Finally, this stunner for Josh and Stephanie.
Stephanie and Josh chose to be married in Historic Salem, Massachusetts. First Church was the setting for the ceremony. I wanted to do something special to wow the bride and groom at the very moment that they made their way down the aisle. I took rose petals and created a wonderful bridal monogram for them along with a ring of hope at the very spot where they were married.
As a special touch, Stephanie requested that her bouquet be filled with the wonderfully fragrant Stephanotis. She was just stunning making her way through the historic town with that stunning smile. Josh you are a lucky guy !
They hosted their reception at the Nationally Historic Hamilton Hall. So beautiful with all of it's antique brick, white trim and green shutters. The tables had elegant white linens and gold chairs which perfectly complemented the historic and grand feeling of the room. I mounded English garden roses, Dutch hydrangea and godetia to create a simple, yet elegant table. At the base of each of the arrangements, I laid out lots of petals for that fresh from the garden look.
