Event Planning : Proposing Dreams

Sparks flew when Audra and Derrick serendipitously ended up sitting next to one another at Derrick’s sister’s dance recital. After a wonderful 10-year courtship, Derrick planned a romantic birthday proposal, and soon the couple began planning their fall wedding in Belleville.
 
The Bride Audra Baker, 30, dentist
The Groom Derrick Ward, 31, physician
The Date October 14
 
The couple chose an elegant manor setting in Belleville, the area where each of them grew up and a midway point for all their guests. To pull together their autumn celebration, they called upon a wedding planner and chose a soft alette of chocolate brown, apple green, ivory, and pink.
