Erica + Chad | Bella Giardino

Chad and Erica are an absolute adorable couple that display such a pure love. Their journey to this magical wedding day started many years ago when they attended middle school together.  They took a long windy road to eventually get back to each other… but it was worth the wait (just ask them!).  You could tell this was a day much anticipated & the joy and love overflowed through all of their friends & family (and there were a LOT….   12 bridesmaids & 9 groomsmen + the 2 cardboard cut-out groomsmen to represent Chad’s friends that were serving overseas.)  This crowd was ready for a celebration…and that is exactly what they got!

Their day was absolutely reflective of this couple, so many details that individualized their wedding – put together with the hard work of many family and friends. When we first arrived, I was surprised to see Erica’s mother, with her hair all done up at the ceremony/reception site before the wedding making sure all the details were just right!  Birdcages and pinwheels… every detail handcrafted and personalized.  The name cards were pinned to a handmade pouches with wildflower seeds.  The tables were named after places the couple had visited, set amongst birdcages, lanterns and candles. A cupcake bar where you could choose your own frosting & each cupcake was in a monogrammed flower pot for the guest to take home! Such thought and detail was put into everything for this day!

These two planned a perfect day, full of love & pure joy…and this is exactly what they got! (and more!) Just seeing the two of them look at each other was enough to take your breath away.  There were also a few unplanned surprises…immediately after the pastor announced them man and wife, a HUGE hot air balloon rose out of the sky!  Looking around there were hot air balloons everywhere on the horizon.  Some things that are truly magical…you just can’t plan!  It was so amazing to be surrounded by this love all day & we felt blessed to be a part of their celebration!  Congratulations Chad & Erica!!
