REAL WEDDING: SHANEL & DAVID

Happy Monday Guys….I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and to start off the week at the cafe, I am excited to introduce you to Shanel & David.  I love their wedding…they are the cutest couple and you can tell from the images that they had a ‘rocking’ reception…which included a ‘Soul Train Line’…totally my kind of party!  Their beautiful celebration was sent to me by the oh-so-beautiful and sweet…Carolyn Chen, owner of The Special Day.  I adore Carolyn…she is the sweetest…I feel as though I have known her forever and her events are AMAZING…so very beautiful and always ‘magazine worthy’.  Let’s check out Part One of our Two Part Feature….and Carolyn shares a little ‘411’ with us…..Enjoy!

Wedding Date: 7/05/2008 (July 4th weekend)

Photos are by Jan Garcia Photography Color Scheme – celadon green, cream, and chocolate brown.  

The Scrabble Wedding Cake was inspired by the proposal – in which David proposed to Shanel on the Scrabble board. I had seen a cake made by Pink Cake Box. Our cake was made by Beryl Boyd of Just Fabulous Pastries. The groom’s cake was the
University of Michigan logo because it was David’s alma mater, and he was also quite the track star! 
 

Shanel & David performed a cha cha and David with the groomsmen also did a surprise group dance!
 
 

Yes, the soul train line was SO much fun!

Shanel is such a GORGEOUS bride…I love this image of her……a natural beauty!!

Our groom David and the guys….looking so GQ!
