Real Wedding : Caroline & Edmund : Part 2

In continuation of today's Real Wedding with Caroline and Edmund, we move on to the reception at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek, Colorado. {photographed by Jenna Walker Photography}
Below: I love this idea . . . At 6:15 {the hour Caroline and Edmund first met}, they lit the candles of their guests' tables - in a "unity ceremony." The last table they were to light was their own.

Below: Caroline wearing the necklace that Edmund gave her as a wedding gift. Caroline had her mother's keepsake ring pinned to the inside of her dress {her "something borrowed" and "something blue"}
Below: Love these shots of the bride with her attendants and Edmund with the groomsmen walking with the Colorado mountainscape behind them.
Below: Check out the unique bridesmaids bouquets. Caroline's vows were printed on purple paper and carried behind her bouquet. The readings were from their favorite classic books, including the Velveteen Rabbit, and rolled into ornate scrolls.
Below: The ceremony was held outdoors and guests were kept warm with space heaters and wintry blankets. The couple planned a rose ceremony where they gave roses to their parents and grandparents.
Below: Love these portrait shots of the couple. Caroline's cathedral veil was embroidered with their initials and wedding date.
