A Small Country Affair

This small country wedding and reception was so beautiful and simple in design.  The ceremony was held in the gazebo and then the reception/dinner was held immediately following in the yard.  Flowers were in bloom, fresh babies breath and greenery balls hung around the gazebo.  Mason

jars with candles lit up the walk ways.  Burlap with monograms and raffia enhanced the country theme.   False ceiling of twinkling lights made a canopy over the tables and provided just enough light.  Fabric curtains outlined the area and creative a romantic setting.  Candlelight and fresh floral finished it off!  It was magical to say the least!

The bride's brother was super creative and made this beautiful sign for the menu board.

the bride and groom provided a backdrop and props for a photo booth where their guests could snap a photo for a memory

Fresh floral garlands ran down the center of the tables.  It smelled beautiful and brought a real earthy tone to the entire event.

Wedding invite

In the Spring I was asked to photograph and design a weddinng invite.  The pictures turned out quite nicely and the invite wasn't bad either! 

Queen of Hearts Bridal Shower

So my partner had these tea cups and after that the party was well on it's way to be amazing.  Queen of Hearts meets Alice in Wonderland mad hatter!  The idea of a tea party in the spring out doors in Arizona can be risky with weather because you never know what you will get, but fortunately it was perfectly overcast until after the party was over.  I love the queen of hearts theme and found that apparently online I wasn't the only one.  I wanted it to be wimsical but super pretty.   A brunch menu made for a perfect morning start.    Guests were encouraged to wear tea party attire and a hat (with a prize for the best!)  Prizes's always encourage participation! :) 

The Queen of our party!

I have to say when I heard the color choice of Royal Blue and Silver I was skeptical of how this would   go together.
