Planning an outdoor wedding near the end of October is always a gamble. Fortunately, the 22nd was a perfect fall day ~ comfortable temperatures and not a cloud in the sky! Elizabeth and Jameson really couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to celebrate their wedding ceremony at the Quail Creek Country Club in Robinson, Illinois.
Located in south-central Illinois, Robinson is about an hour from Terre Haute and close to the Indiana border. Quail Creek was the setting for the ceremony and reception, and also has cabins available for guest accommodations. It’s a one-stop shop! The ceremony was set up facing a lake close to the cabins where the bride and groom were getting ready.
The wedding colors of dark purple and lime green were present in the flowers over the arch, the petals and kissing balls lining the aisle, and the sashes on the last row of chairs. For the entrance of the groom’s mother and the bridal party, I played “Marry Me” by Train. The bride selected the traditional piece ~ “Bridal Chorus” by Wagner ~ for her processional. After the short & sweet ceremony, the newlyweds exited to “Love Story.”
Guests were transported from the ceremony to the reception in golf carts. As they made their way through the receiving line, I continued the harp music with a variety of popular love songs and light classics.
