Uniquely Yours
Jennifer Jurkowitz and Eric Peterson
November 6, 2010
"From the very beginning, we envisioned our special day to be a twist on the traditional," recalls bride Jennifer Jurkowitz, who wed Eric Peterson at the Four Seasons Troon North.
The retro-chic wedding featured a color scheme of white, black and yellow, explains the bride, who worked closely with event planner Charlee Geisler to create her ideal celebration.
Large, yellow pillar candles set atop mirrored pedestals added color and dimension to the outdoor aisle. Strings of flowers, scattered petals, and hanging votives added a whimsical touch to the traditional chuppah, used during the ceremony to represent the home created by the bride and groom. To complete the setting, two contemporary arrangements framed the back of the aisle.
The reception was a symphony of color and texture. Black table cloths were topped with geometric table runners, while yellow napkins, chair pads, and votives added a pop of color. Twinkle drape behind the band added an elegant glow and ambiance to the room.
Jennifer created memorable black and white polaroid-style place cards that charmed the guests with happy memories of times spent with the newlyweds over the years.
A 'wedding tree sign in board,' served as an artful guest book for the couple. "We gave our own twist to the traditional symbol of the gnarled oak by having an artist sketch the tree, complete with bride and groom figures, to be displayed on an easel at the ceremony site," explains Jennifer. Guests' inscriptions gradually filled in the leaves of the tree.
"Whatever the guests' needs, we had them covered. If they need a break from the dancing or activity at their table, guests were invited to join the lounge area of the ballroom resplendent with white leather couches, custom throw pillows, and decorative yellow flower balls." If they needed a sugar rush, guests were invited to savor the yellow, black and white candy buffet.
