The color scheme for the wedding was a coral/orange/aqua blue combination. Nancy’s bridal bouquet included local flowers in these colors. There were four bridesmaids and four groomsmen in the ceremony. The bridesmaids bouquets were used as centerpieces for the reception dinner tables. For the ceremony there was a bamboo altar with light blue and ivory chiffon fabrics, 25 white wooden chairs for the guests. The altar had alternating pendants (banners) where each one had an initial for either bride and groom. “J” for Jeremy and “N” for Nancy.
The trio / Mini Mariachi called “Jaque Mate” which means (“Check Mate”) in Spanish played for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Enrique plays an incredible trumpet for the wedding March and recessional song. The ceremony was officiated by their friend Linda from their home town of Portland.
