“In a meeting with the Perfect Surroundings staff, I told them I'm more of a ‘pearl and lace girl’ rather than crystals and lucite, and they surprised me by designing our mothers’ and grandmothers’ corsages with a pearl bracelet. It was amazing.”
After dinner, they had a display of various Viennese Desserts. “We had our favorite style cake, simple red velvet,” Kerri exclaims, “Thank you Castle Hotel & Spa!”
The last experience of the evening was the ballroom for dancing. To create a romantic French garden indoors, Kerri personally designed the room herself, working with CORT Event Furnishings and Perfect Surroundings. “We incorporated gorgeous topiaries, boxwood plants and lush florals.” The style of night concluded how it started, with the beautiful Castle garden grounds.
All the room’s furniture was “tufted white leather with some illuminated subtle accent tables,” Kerri explains. She felt their damask monogram bar also added a unique glam to the night. “The room literally took everyone's breath away and it was something that nobody had experienced before.” It was in this room that Kerri had her favorite moment of the night. “Dancing with my husband was our special moment together,” Kerri expresses.
“We truly wanted it to be a one-of-a-kind wedding where both us and our guests would have the best night of their lives,” Kerri explains. Kerri sent guests home with "Vanilla Ever After," mason jar candles that she put together herself. “I'm so glad we have such beautiful memories and photos that will be with us forever,” Kerri gladly remembers back to her wedding day. “A huge thank you to Castle Hotel and Spa’s General Manager, Gilbert Baeriswil, for helping us put the entire day together perfectly!
