Casual Beachy

This reception and it's theme were born from the bride and groom's engagement story. A treasure box at the beach.  A backyard affair with light airy colors, lots of fresh flowers and tons of candlelight.  It was the kind of reception you came and sat for a while.  I think this has been one of my favorites up-to-date simply because it was casual enough to kick off your heels, but so elegant you felt like you were at a fancy ball. Okay enough talking, the pictures can say more then any description we can give.  Coral pink, teal and white...

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.
