Congratulations to Kelsey and Austin who tied the knot on Saturday, October 1, 2011 and celebrated afterwards at The Elm Street Ballroom! Kim Wade of Silverbox Photographers, shared with us these lovely shots of the day. Check out more information about Silverbox here.

Kelsey and Austin chose a warm color palette of ivory and chocolate accented by chair covers (which make such a difference in the feel of any room) and centerpieces composed of burlap, custom wine bottles and mason jars with coffee grounds and twine. The room was beautiful and really captured the feeling of fall!

And of course we’d be amiss not to mention the fabulous Upper Crust food served at the event! Guests were greeted at the event by passed appetizers which included Rice Paper Spring Rolls with veggies and red pepper sauce as well as Spinach and Three Cheese Pinwheels. Afterwards, guests dined on a two entree buffet featuring assorted Upper Crust breads and spreads, mixed green salad, roasted asparagus, twice baked potatoes, Bistro Royale and Atlantic Salmon with roasted red pepper sauce.
