We’re back with more from the OMG cute Erica + Chet and the talented duo of OLOL! As Jesse said in her blog post about the wedding, “Erica and Chet were so calm and relaxed I tend to believe they marry each other often.” The SW office loves the clean, modern aesthetic the couple paired with the rough brick of the King Plow Event Gallery, the music videos they projected on the gallery wall during the dancing portion of the night, the lovely florals by Bloom Floral Design, Erica’s custom gown, the cupcakes from Sweet Pockets Cupcakes, and, well, everything else. And Erica loves SW (she said so!). So all around, it’s just a big love fest, which is really, you know, what this wedding thing is all about.
Describe your wedding flowers: My mom and aunts did all of the table flowers, which we bought at a local flower wholesaler the day before. They did such a great job, and the flowers looked amazing. We went with a mostly white palette (ranunculus, snap dragons, lisianthus and spray roses) with tiny splashes of red and yellow ranunculus. The bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres (which were made by Cathy of Bloom Floral Design) were entirely white ranunculus.
Describe your wedding cake: Rather than having a traditional tiered wedding cake, we opted for cupcakes from Sweet Pockets. Not only are their cupcakes delicious (!), but they also offered a “giant cupcake” for the top tier, so we could still do the whole cake cutting with our little “Homie” on top. Who doesn’t love unwrapping your own little special cupcake? I illustrated a sign to identify the five flavors we chose, and everyone had a lot of fun finding their favorite.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Without a doubt, the time Chet and I spent wandering off before the ceremony to escape the questions and decorating and chaos. escaping the questioning and decorating and chaos. It was definitely some of the best time Chet and I got to spend that day.
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? We chickened out! The plan was to write our own vows, but then the pressure of already being on display in front of an audience was just too much. Instead, we wrote each other notes and exchanged them just before the ceremony. It was really nice because it kind of set the mood for what was about to happen.
Congratulations, Erica + Chet! We wish you all the best as newlyweds.

It was a great wedding. The attention to detail was off the chart. Some of the things you guys made I would have never thought of but you two pulled it off. And those constant little reminders that kept coming in the mail (and Email) for what seemed like 3 years, were precious.I’m glad that I was able to be part of your special day.
Your photos are gorgeous. They convey a sense of intimacy whilst still being a celebration. I love your little touches too. Gorgeous. :)
Sophisticated, elegant, warm and filled with love and laughter is how I would describe Chet and Erica’s wedding. I was thrilled to be a part of it. It was over the top!!!!
It was an awesome wedding. Though they did make me do too much work! =P
It was great working with the bride and groom. They made my job very easy and I wish every couple were like them. Fun and willing to try something new!
I love the cupcake stand. I wish someone had thought of those when I got married.
