Cochino Lodge Weddings: Cochino Lodge celebrated the marriage of Ashley Province and Jonathan Bell

February 25, 2012

Ashley and Johathan were the first couple in 2012 to celebrate their marriage at Cochino Lodge.

It was a wedding that was full of sparkles, dancing light and glamour. The trees of the wedding site were filled with crystal coated containers that held lights that twinkled into the night.

It was a crisp day, wind blew somewhat the day before but it turned out to be a great day

for the wedding.

The wedding ceremony was held on the East Lawn facing the Lake. The grass was green and the sky was blue and the lake had risen with the recent rains. A large crowd gathered from Lumberton, Groveton, Beaumont, Orange and Lufkin.

The decorations were originals made by the bride and her friends and family. There were a lot of great and innovative ideas that made the wedding very unique.

Old doors, windows, burlap, handmade flowers, music and trees filled with candled containers made the ambiance unforgettable.

That is what best friends are for, always there when you need them.

A somber moment and a few tears.

Beautiful wedding dress.

Off they go.

You are only young for a short time. Jumping on the bed is a sure

sign that you are STILL young.

Just a small tear when Dad came to escort his daughter to the Alter.

Unity Sand Ceremony

Austin, so sweet, he was a big part of the celebration and HE KNEW IT.

He had a great time. And was so adorable.

Happy Couple

Father of the Bride, Handsome Man.

Lovely Cake and so delicious. The cupcakes were a Hit.

The Louisiana Cake with Crawfish that looked real but tasted like cake.

The Cart held the favors at the entrance to the Lodge

The old galvanized tub in a cart held the cokes and cold drinks.

The "clothes line" was made by the groom to hold photographs at the registration table. This is a great idea.

Yellow flowers and Lemons in Ivey Bowels were on tables in the Main Lobby

The Mid Deck had large tables that held huge glass containers with submerged yellow jasmine and floating candles. At the edge were tree rounds with the initials burned into the wood. So clever.

The serpentine table was decorated in white and burlap.

Old Windows were placed to compliment the vintage look created.

Old Doors were behind the head table and held initials of the couple. This was so attractive.

Old Doors have such a magical feel. With a lot of meaning attached.

Lovely

Fashionable and pretty guest.....Love those shoes.
