For some brides, fashion is paramount, and designer shoes are a must. Brides with a different take on fashion make their way down the aisle in their Chuck Taylors. Bridal shoes are a big deal these days--and the options are more vast than ever. Pumps are the classic choice, and looks can be anything but plain. Brides can opt for a traditional closed-toe pump, or select a flirty peep-toe. All manner of clip-on embellishments are available everywhere  from bridal shops to Etsy, and include everything from rhinestones to flowers. If pumps aren't your style, strappy sandals are another elegant, and popular option. Wedge-heeled sandals continue to be popular, and are increasingly available in wedding-worthy styles. High heels aren't the only way to achieve glamour in your wedding footwear, though. Kitten heels provide style and a litt...

Nancy and Joe's military style wedding took place at the  Hartford Marriott Hotel .  The onsite Ceremony was coordinated beautifully by Elizabeth and her staff from the hotel.  Atmosphere Productions provided Ceremony sound and microphones with Rev. Dr. Robert Henderson officiating. Traditional Jazz sprinkled with Big Band Standards was the centerpiece of Nancy and Joe's Dinner Music but selected a more club and dance music mixture for after dinner dancing.  This made it easy for us to pack the dance floor all evening long and keep Nancy and Joe on the dance floor throughout. Once again, Joe, we THANK YOU for your service to this country. Nancy and Joe's First Dance: Lonestar - Amazed Bride and Bride's Father Dance: Billy Joel - Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel) Groom and Groom's Mother Dance: Rascal Flatts - My Wish Cake Cutting Song: Four Tops - I Can't Help Myself Last Dance: Beach Boys - Kokomo Highlights:...
