Meet one of our sweet couples, Anna and Garrett, lovers of nature, music, swimming, and...Marble Slab Creamery ICE CREAM! Anna and Garrett chose the Tea Room at Norris Dam State Park as the setting for their Labor Day weekend wedding. The weather for our last summer wedding was HOT, HOT, HOT, so it was a perfect day for an Ice Cream Sundae Bar reception.
|
Anna is finishing up her Art Education degree and did a lot of DIY projects for her wedding in hues of sage green, orange, and yellows. The Tea Room fit her style perfectly. The burlap table runners, pots of wild flowers and paper lanterns along with the Tea Room's tables and cane bottom chairs created a fun atmosphere.

The bridesmaids carried sunflowers and all the guests were provided with a hand held fan for the outdoor ceremony that featured one of the couple's engagement photos by Jennie Andrews Photography--love it!

Marble Slab Creamery was referred to Anna and Garrett by our photographer friend, Jennie Andrews, who provided us with these awesome images of our service table--thank you, thank you, thank you! Originally, Anna and Garrett had booked our Portable Slab for the reception, but when we checked out the historic Tea Room we found that the doorways in the 1930's building were too narrow to allow us to move the equipment inside. So instead, we catered our very popular Ice Cream Sundae Bar with three of the couple's favorite flavors--Vanilla, Double Dark Chocolate, and Birthday Cake.

We also brought along fresh strawberries, toasted pecans, and homemade cookie dough and other candies as toppings. Guests are never disappointed, especially when we ask if they'd like our Hot Fudge and Hot Caramel to top their sundae creations.
|
Yes, this sundae is delicious, and Jennie Andrews gets the award for capturing the perfect Marble Slab Creamery sundae photo of the summer! Yum-O!

Anna and Garrett's ceremony in the outdoor amphitheatre included the old-fashioned tradition of "jumping the broom!"

Here's another of Anna's creative DIY wedding projects. During the reception guests added their thumb prints and signatures to this family tree as a momento of the wedding. So special!

Marble Slab had the honor of working alongside Jennie Andrews at two weddings this year, and I'm beginning to think she has a thing about couples in the back of a car *wink wink* (check out our previous post Jeni & Michael).

Thank you, Anna and Garrett, for choosing Marble Slab Creamery as a part of your special day's celebration. We wish you scoops and scoops of happiness!
