Sarah and Nick are pretty much the best.  They are genuine and funny and sweet… you will be able to tell from the photos that they are a perfect pair.  They are both chefs… and let me tell you, I go into the Brasserie (where Nick works) on a regular basis and every time he sees that I am there, he sends out special food.  There in NO better way to win me over than with food.  :)  BUT….My love affair with food is beyond off topic… let’s get back to the subject at hand…their wedding!!  Sarah got ready at her family home and we began the day in a little pink room that made Mer and I feel like we stepped into a wee Victorian Dollhouse.

hello gorgeous!

and JAX!!

the very dapper Nick.  Not every man can pull off a pink linen suit, my friend, but you have done it.

all set for a ceremony at the Tower Grove Music Stand… fan programs to keep cool and vintage umbrellas for shade

The Rosewood Ensemble sets the mood beautifully (hi Dee!)

a little pre-ceremony pre-gaming flask action

still smiling even with a broken foot! (Nick, you are crazy!)

pretty outdoor garden cocktails

spice & herb themed table numbers (chef’s remember?!?)

Sarah is a pastry chef, so her dessert game had to be on point, and nobody does a dessert table like Sarah’s Cake Shop.  I am drooling looking at the pie pops.  (mer and I *might* have each eaten one. maybe two.)

The beautiful Tower Grove Gates

just goofin off

a gift exchange…. a cameo and a very old bottle of Pappy Van Winkle were exchanged (awesome and personal gifts!)

party time!

more of the desserts…. I can’t help it.

sisterly love

I am not sure what was happening with the bottle here…. these are pretty tame in the grand scheme of things… I had to censor some of them!  Seems like there must be a story here…..

The Piper Palm House by night, and the super moon

Thanks Sarah and Nick for letting Mer and I capture your beautiful and fun fall wedding!!  (and thanks for the sugar coma!) See you all again soon at Katie & Shawn’s!
