A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Lucy & Cooper’s Swingin’ Soiree

November 7, 2011
Posted by Ashley

This wedding is Bob Dylan meets Al Green with a sweet but not overplayed Rock-a-Billy undertone. The bride is the sultry Lucy of Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles. The ceremony was at her parents’ house in the garden and the reception was at the Cedar Cultural Center (a popular hole-in-the-wall venue, my favorite kind!). Lucy and Cooper had not one, but THREE bands play live at their wedding/reception! Talk about a sweet swingin’ time!
