Not all wedding celebrations involve white dresses, crazy dance moves and pyrotechnic send-offs. Case in point, Anthony and Sarah's intimate wedding celebration. But even though this informal celebration was limited to very close family and friends, it was not without its "pyrotechnics". Among the evening's festivities were life-sized lawn games, cotton candy, popcorn, a poolside fire pit, classy music, a little bit of dancing and a dinner cooked by Chef William Lyle. Not to mention, all of the gorgeous details and decorations produced by Melissa Holmes of Sweet Tea Designs. And while everything about their celebration was well thought out and top-notch, the entire theme of the evening was about having a small, intimate get-together with family and close friends. Here are a few of my favorite images from the evening. Enjoy.
