A Detailed affair: mark & andrea

When Mark Marinic proposed to Andrea Kemper, Event Coordinator and owner of Jupiter Events the stars aligned and burned bright with the possibilities their wedding day would bring. One boy. One girl. True Love...and details galore! Andrea spent a year of research and planning every perfect detail of their September 12, 2009 wedding day.

The classic black and white wedding incorporated a damask print along with kiwi green and fuchsia accents. As guests entered the foyer , a guest-signing tree of curly willow to write wedding wishes for the couple, wedding photo's of parents and grandparents including photo's of their family's history was displayed and a photo station complete with a 'tickle trunk' of props to capture their guest's creativity and playfulness.

After a night of dancing, guests found a treasure chest set up in the foyer offering flip flops in various sizes and wrapped in kiwi green ribbon. They were encouraged to rest their tired feet and slip a pair on to continue dancing the night till dawn.
