Southern Weddings

What a beautiful (and FUN) wedding! This group of bridesmaids and groomsmen really knows how to have a good time. Check out the sleeves on those groomsmen! Ashley’s Mother explains, “Lieutenant Andrew Crawford is an Air Force F-16 fighter pilot. He chose not to wear his dress uniform at the wedding as he wanted his wedding party to be visually cohesive. He did inject his spirited personality and Air Force background in the form of the traditional fighter pilot tuxedo shirt. It is customary for some fighter pilots to remove the back and the sleeves of their tuxedo shirts and replace that fabric with a wild and crazy print. When the dress jacket is on what is seen is a white collar, shirt front, and cuffs. Once the jacket is removed the sleeves and back pop with color and the party begins! Andrew selected a material reminiscent of the combination of a vintage aloha shirt print and a 1940’s pin up girl pattern. Betty Grable meets Waikiki! It was playful, colorful, and the perfect expression of Andrew’s personality. The groomsmen and Fathers of the Wedding sported their Air Force inspired party shirts with pride and honor!” This event was planned by Cloud Nine Events with the reception held at the Peoria Country Club.  Special thanks to {Jeffrey & Julia Woods Photography} for sharing these images with us.
