Before this wedding became the adorable moon & stars themed wedding that you see now, it was going to be a 60s Hollywood glamour themed wedding. That would have been great too, but when Molly told us that it evolved into a vintage starry night prom theme, and that she wanted to combine florals and paper decor to create a magical transformation of spaces we couldn’t wait to see how it would turn out. Oh, and we didn’t even mention that she’s also a florist. You know what that means… pretty florals await. Click here to jump on over to the full gallery of images. moon and stars themed wedding | photo by First Mate Photo Co. | 100 Layer Cake moon and stars themed wedding | photo by First Mate Photo Co. | 100 Layer Cake moon and stars themed wedding | photo by First Mate Photo Co. | 100 Layer Cake

Andrew’s Dad played an instrumental version of Plain Song by The Cure as Molly walked down the aisle. And for their first dance the band (Juke Joint Rhythm Rockers) played Earth Angel.

Homemade limencello acted as both the favors and escort cards.

As a florist it is so hard to pick a favorite flower. Coral Charm Peonies are just truly awesome. When we decided on May I was so thrilled that they would be available. Every color choice I made was based on the beauty of the Coral Charm Peony. With inspiration like that how could we go wrong…

Now we see the “prom” theme. This little photo op looks way too fun.

And then they topped it all off with an adorable cake decorated with those peonies. Can one ever get tired of peonies? Never!

Congratulations you two!
