And the winner is...Josh and Amanda!
Josh and Amanda were married at St. Albert the Great in Reno with a reception at Starlite Dance Center. It was the perfect place for a beautiful, well-rehearsed, choreographed first dance. My other favorite dance from that day happened during the photo shoot at Rancho San Rafael after the ceremony. When the weather took a sudden turn and it began to rain and hail on the bridal party this amazing bride grabbed her bridesmaids and danced in the rain! Absolutely amazing!

Best Personalized Decorations!
And the award goes to...Cassie McClain! (Oh, and Bill...)
Bill and Cassie were married in a gorgeous and unique "pumpkin extravaganza" on October 24. Both ceremony and reception were held at their hilltop home. Special touches for the ceremony included hay bales for seating, the bride's father walking her down the aisle, giving her away and then performing the wedding, and lots of pumpkins! The reception had three fabulous food stations, beverages by Margarita Man, pumpkin wedding cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes, a liquid nitrogen ice cream demonstration, the Reno Photo Booth, and about a half dozen DJ's!
However, the creative touch that impressed us most were the hand-painted pumpkins on the head table. Cassie had spent MONTHS painting pumpkins with caricatures of each member of the bridal party. Well done! Congratulations to you both!

Best Cake of 2009
And the winner is Isabel's cupcakes!
We saw MANY beautiful cakes this season, and most of them were also delicious, but our favorite this year were the cupcakes at Matt and Leigh's wedding.
Matt and Leigh were married on May 30 in a lovely outdoor ceremony at the Tannenbaum Event Center. They should also get an award for "perfect timing" as it started raining just minutes after they finished taking photos before heading inside for a fabulous and fun reception. Another unique twist at their wedding was in the way tables were invited to the buffet line. The bride and groom had prepared trivia questions for their guests about their relationship, personal preferences, etc. When someone answered a question correctly, his or her table was able to head to the buffet. Everything was lovely...but I was sure glad I saved room for dessert that night!
Things that impressed me about the cupcakes:
* They were beautiful.
* There were a variety of flavors of both cakes and frosting
* The cupcakes were very moist
* Best of all - they had a filling that was too die for!
By the way, I always taste the wedding cake BEFORE asking who made it. And my other two favorite cakes from this year just happened to also be from Isabel's!

Best Toast of 2009
And the winner is bridesmaid Whitney from Andrea and Brian's wedding!
Andrea and Brian were married at on April 25th at Trinity Episcopal Church followed by an elegant Peppermill reception. Nisha Hallert did a fabulous job coordinating the many details of the day. Musical entertainment was provided by the very talented Jeff Leep of Leep Entertainment. Jo Shaw and her Reno Photo Booth were there to creatively capture that side of the guests that not everyone gets to see at a formal wedding, but the true highlight for us was when Whitney showed us all a side of Andrea that not many had seen before!
