From Robert and Kathleen…Dagney and Michael wanted a wedding that really reflected their personality and lifestyle. They both LOVE flying – a lot. Since she was raised in a military family (her father was a Commander in the Navy), and Michael is a Major in the Army, they decided to have a 1940s-style, aviation themed wedding.

With the help of Candice from Jubilee Events , they had everything they needed at the reception to really capture the style they were going for – a swing band, a black & white checked dance floor, even a vintage 1930s plane. The bridesmaids wore short white dresses and yellow sashes and all of the flowers were in shades of yellow and green.

From Candice…The bride carried a modern take on a cascading bouquet that was complete with gorgeous parrot tulips and yellow ranunculus, among other lush white and yellow flowers. The centerpieces were an arrangement of the same flowers including varying roses. They had beautiful white lilacs in silver mint julep cups and tall, fragrant flowering branches that were organically arranged by Jubilee Events in fluted vases.
Flowers were all designed by Flore Flower Design and linens by Cloth Connection.

So much more to come!

A man in uniform, a vintage airline hanger, a bride that is as gorgeous as she is chic. Does it get any better?

Before we get into the wedding details, I have to share Dagney & Michael’s Engagement Story (from Robert and Kathleen)…

Dagney grew up up loving planes. From air shows with her Dad, to taking up flying herself, aviation has always been a passion for her. When it came to finding someone to spend the rest of her life with, it goes without saying that he had to love flying too. That was one of the things eHarmony searched for when looking for her perfect match.   And there he was. Michael – an Army pilot, who loved flying (both helicopters and planes) just as much as he does. They hit it off right away. He knew she was the one, and he knew the perfect way to ask her to marry him. Dinner would follow the proposal, but the real magic would happen on the way there. What better way to get to dinner than for him to fly them both there? The flight was really the whole point of it all, of course, because up at 5,500 feet, he asked her to spend the rest of her life with him.

The wedding just gets better and better, I swear. And both Robert and Kathleen AND Candice at Jubilee are stopping by to share all of the incredible details that they infused into this perfect event.
