Wedding and Reception: The Osthoff Resort, Elkhart Lake WI

I started my wedding season at The Osthoff in May, and ended the year at the Osthoff in December!

Anne looked awesome in her gown and her bridesmaids couldn’t stop talking about how great she looked “Just like a movie star or something!” I heard one of them say. And it’s a trend I have noticed over the past year or so, the return to the more simplistic, classically beautiful gowns with clean lines. And thank goodness…all that massive beadwork of 2003 and the huge trains are gone gone gone. I love to see that not everyone has their hair in the SAME bridal up-do anymore. Anne’s hair was a really simple, beautiful upsweep that totally complimented her face. And I told her that if I looked that good in red lipstick, I would wear it every single day!

The Elk room was packed to capacity for the ceremony, and the decorations were just beautiful. The whole wedding, from the ceremony and the reception was really just gorgeous. Check out Anne’s bouquet, it was made from Amaryllis flowers, something I have never seen, but it was great and worked perfectly.

Anne and Brent did an choreographed first dance. I could tell that they really really practiced it, because they both seemed relaxed and it really flowed. I was told later that many a night was spent with the furniture pushed to the walls in their living room as they practiced! It paid off, they looked great and the crowd went wild.

Congratulations Anne and Brent!
