Tory & Michael 7.6.13


Tory and Michael were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning! Michael kept the wedding close to home, as his parents are members of the club. We love it when Members Share their Milestone moments with us, and this was a perfect example! Not only was the wedding beautiful with several unique touches added by the bride, but everything from their save-the-dates to their ceremony programs were done so beautifully, that we couldn't help but ask for extras to share with all of our future brides! Their vision for their wedding made for a gorgeous day from beginning to end. Congratulations Tory and Michael!
This is a cool idea... The couple used a signature mat in place of a guest book (shown below) but they also decided to have their guests fill out a piece of paper with advice for the bride and groom on their 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th wedding anniversary. The guests then place their note in the appropriately labeled wine bottle, and the couple will open them on the corresponding anniversary. What a great way to remember your wedding day!

Many of the small touches were provided by the bride herself. The small bottle with the coral colored roses were filled with a little water and gold sequins to add a hint of shimmer. Many of the arrangements seen in the picture were actually borrowed from the rehearsal dinner the night before, saving time and money! The Couple also provided personalized match books with the phrase, ''All You Need is Love" I think someone is a Beatles fan, as the Bride also walked down the aisle to "Here Comes the Sun"!

Though the rainy weather did not allow for the outdoor ceremony the Bride and Groom had hoped for, their back-up plan was gorgeous. We love the Rustic Archway and how our exposed beams really compliment the feel of it.

Pops or Coral, Gold, Green, and Mint added an elegant look to the guests tables. Chunky frames are often being used for Table Numbers, and we certainly love the way it brought the whole table together, from the flowers to the chairs.For the Estate Table, the bride provided gold Wine Bottles with simple white roses, emphasizing the tables regal length, and setting it apart from the guests tables.

Surprise 70th Birthday Party 6.28.13

Laura Bennison wanted to throw a surprise birthday party for her mother, with a reception style menu, dancing, and a few surprises. We were thrilled to assist Mrs. Bennison with her event, and it turned out lovely!

The Tiffany Blue Napkins, Gold Chivari Chairs, and Floral arrangements compliment one another beautifully! 

What better way to display a milestone year?! This ice carving set atop the seafood station, and was the focal point of the stations.

Amongst the surprise of the party itself, Mrs. Bennison arranged for video messages from loved ones who could not attend to be played during the event. What a great idea!

Chelsea & Tom 6.29.13

Chelsea & Tom had such a gorgeous vision for their big day, and we could not have been happier to be apart of it! As every element came together, their vision became a reality. An elegant and sophisticated look for this wedding reflected this couple perfectly. Congratulations Chelsea and Tom!

Beautiful roses and hydrangea, greenery and candles filled the fireplace mantle in our Salon.

What a great idea! A lot of couples are choosing to do a photo book in lieu of a guest book for their guests to sign. Chelsea and Tom added one more element. Each page was s different opportunity for guests to write something to the bride and groom. For instance this page asked, "Give us advice for our first year as a married couple".


As their guests came down the stairs to enter the ballroom, this really set the tone! Sid from Flowers from Us lined the staircase railings with beautiful greenery and bows, that led down to a grand centerpiece. The focal point of course being the portrait of Chelsea in her bridal gown.

Elegant yet modern centerpieces made a statement as the guests entered the ballroom.

We love how the room came together! Black and White is such a classic look, and really helps those centerpieces stand out.



Baby Shower 6.1.13

It's a Boy! Inspired by the Children's Book, "Giraffes Can't Dance", this baby shower was filled with adorable centerpieces, lions, giraffes, monkeys and elephants. We love all of the touches to this event, from the creative use of the diapers to the burlap runners and overlays! All we can say is "Welcome to the world Maddux Hayes Holloway!"

Not your traditional Diaper Cake ;)

Small Mason Jars with a striped paper straw and a chevron print label were at each place setting for the guests. 


Do you see the Bike too?! What a great idea to use diapers, a bib, bottle, and a crib bumper to create this awesome Bicycle centerpiece. And you can't forget the giraffe!


Congratulations Ashlynn!
