A's Baseball Wedding

Chris and Charlene dared to be different and infused their favorite sport, baseball, into their modern classic wedding. Not too much, but just enough to keep the groom happy and adore the guests with their whimical humor. We used stationeries to bring most of the baseball theme to life. See if you can spot them in the photos below...which was so graciously shared by the husband-and-wife team of { Lisa + James }.

To top it off, guests were treated to a half-time performance so cleverly arranged by the ever-so-talented Michelle at { MB Weddign Designs & Events }. Amazing! And so brave... no nets in place....

Guests autographed their wishes on baseballs - which the groom will box and keep beside his baseball collection.
