Vintage Military Wedding Theme – The Groom

Today’s post (2 out of 4) will feature Bill, the groom. It will also show the details of the cocktail hour room at the Army Navy Country Club, the site of the wedding reception. This room was otherwise known as “Bill’s room” with its vintage military theme. Bill is an Army Medic and is in the middle of a tour to Korea. Not only was Jenn happy to have him home, but so were his boys. You met them during the family pictures a few weeks ago, and they were so adorable as ring bearers on the wedding day!

This room was a collaboration of ideas to honor the history of military service in their families. Jenn and Megan, the wedding coordinator, pulled off Jenn’s vision beautifully. The room had layers of things to discover. The scene by the fireplace was representative of Bill and Jenn and their personalities and interests – the military man and his glamorous wife. The letters on the tables were written by family members during their time in the service. Vintage military posters decorated the walls. Maps were on the votives and vases. And the escort cards were Western Union telegrams. Very patriotic and personal.
