Hello to all you readers… We finally have a blog and this will be my first entry, and what a fun one to write about! This had to be the “biggest” wedding of the year for Cincinnati, and we were so honored to have been a part of it. I enjoyed working with Britney, Caleb, and Mr. Ruby very much. They are a great family!

We certainly went through some challenges, mostly time constraints as we planned this entire wedding in about 5 months all together, but it came about with flying colors! Speaking of colors, Britney wanted to use varying shades of purples and green at the reception, but all white for the ceremony. Kevin Ford of Ford Ellington certainly listened to her requests and delivered an amazing product. Below, you can take a look at the directors cut of their wedding film, created by Bambino Productions. I have to say, this was a vendor that was very important to Caleb, and this was his number one choice, and they did an amazing job! Enjoy the video and you can read more below…

It was Caleb’s desire to surprise Britney at the ceremony with hundreds of white flowers and candles everywhere, and that he did. When Britney saw the amazing site, she was in awe. That is just the type of man Caleb is, very thoughtful!
Their ceremony went off without a hitch, even with 12 flower girls and ring bearers involved. A few key children helped make this happen, like Tricia Macke’s daughter, Piper, who definitely helped keep the younger girls focused. But they were so adorable.

After the wedding at the Verdin Bell, guests were off to an hors d’oeuvres hour in the Continental Room at the Hilton Netherland Plaza downtown. After enjoying live music and a full sushi bar made to order, guests were escorted into the Hall of Mirrors.

The guests were greated by an amazing display created for their escort cards and an beautiful entrance into the Hall of Mirrors. Once into the room, each table had a server standing by to greet them with champagne, a true touch of Ruby elegance! After a unique dinner of short ribs and jumbo shrimp, it was time to cut into the one of a kind wedding cake created by Maribelle and Ford Ellington Florist. What a team, and what a product they produced. You can see photos of it in our photo section under this wedding.

After the cake was cut and all ceremonial traditions were through, out came Mr. Ruby to sing, “I Loved Her First” to his only daughter, Britney. What a touching moment. Then, with no further ado, all at once every server came out to their table with Derby hats and sunglasses for all the guests to adorn while they were being entertained by the Blues Brothers from Las Vegas.

What a night and what a dream come true for Britney and Caleb. There were too many wonderful little touches to mention, but enjoy the video and the photos that we have to share, you can find them to the left on the home page under rave reviews. I hope they can inspire some magical ideas for your own wedding day. If not, give us a call, and we will assist you in creating those magical moments unique to your special day!
