If I could only use one word to describe Laura and Alex, it would simply be "FUN". From our first consult, through planning, and the wedding reception itself, I had so much fun getting to know them both and creating their very special wedding day. As you can see in their pictures below, they love to smile and share cute and goofy moments. That said, the love between these two was to obvious and easy to see. They're perfect for each other.

Laura and Alex's reception was at one of the best venues in all of Greenville, South Carolina, The Westin Poinsett. We find ourselves there quite often and just love it for so many reasons. For their reception, not only did we help throw an epic dance party, we also provided uplighting which transformed the Gold Ballroom and added an additional "wow" element. Did I mention that the dance floor was packed? Well, it was packed, for hours. It was a special celebration in so many ways and I am so happy we got to be a part of it. Cheers to the Arabea's!!!

Love this wedding stationary layout! Formal, but FRESH!

Laura and her squad getting prepped and ready.

How cool is this wedding favor?!?

Their first look was quite special. Their reactions were priceless!

Laura and Alex chose a super unique first dance song that we just loved, called "Dancing Shoes" by Green River Ordinance. It was the perfect song for the two of them.

Laura and her dad's special dance was to "I Believe in You" by Steven Curtis Chapman. The look on their faces says it all.

Alex and his mom had us create a special dance edit for them which blended Lady Antebellum's "Never Alone" and Paul Simon's "Love Me Like A Rock". It truly reflected Alex's fun, spontaneous personality.
