Not even a hurricane could stop this wedding!
Amanda and Steven were married on top of the
Bushnell.
Beautiful location but not were you want to be in a hurricane!!
Many guests were not able to make the wedding because of the evacuations of Galveston and Houston. We weren't even sure if we were going to be able to have the wedding at all.
Luckily on Friday before the wedding the forecast indicated the storm would stay East of us. So we hoped for dry skies!
The wedding was an intimate gathering of the couple's closest friends and family. The sky held but the rain until just after the cocktail hour.
Following the wedding and cocktails we moved the guests downstairs for dinner.
As usual we had one of my favorite caterers handle this event. The food was delicious.
We had a simply black and white theme with a pop of color with the flowers.
Very pretty look.
This worked nicely in this space.
Following dinner and a few showers the guests were able to move back upstairs for dancing.
We hired the Chris Story band and they were a HIT!
At the end of the evening the guests were sent home with sweets. The couple selected several of their favorite candy to share on a candy bar.
followed by a beautiful reception at The Bushnell. 
The penthouse was decorated with sage green linens and hydrangea centerpieces and the tables on the roof were decorated with cream linens and pictures of the bride and groom growing up. The evening started out extremely hot, so most of the party stayed in the penthouse up until dinner. By then it had cooled off enough that guests were taking their delicious food up to the roof to eat and enjoy the breeze. The food was absolutely delicious! Our staff agrees that their favorite parts were the salad and the great idea of a mashed potato bar. (Even the presentation for those was great! They were served in martini glasses!) After dinner, everyone moved up to the roof for toasts, cake, and dancing. 
The best man’s toast was one of the best we’ve ever heard! 
Once the music got going, everyone was dancing and having a great time. (It was really the grandparents who got the dancing started!) The guests sent the newlyweds off in style by waving sparklers to illuminate the path to their get away car.
