Wedding season is back in full force and Mary and I are doing weddings every weekend. On Sept. 5th we had the pleasure of helping set up a gorgeous wedding at the Smithville Mansion. Tiffanie and Donald were a very fun couple to work with and Tiffanie, a wedding planner (http://www.epiphanyevents.com/) had a great vision of what her special day could be. The weather was gorgeous and we loved the final outcome. Mary and I had some ideas of our own and Tiffanie was eager to add some unique elements to her day. The final effect was stunning, with tons of hydrangeas and sunflowers helping to create a vintage, yet modern look.
A monogram ‘S’ signified the new couples’ last name and the bride’s bouquet took center stage on the sweetheart table.
Chocolate Brown seems to be the new color this fall. These tablecloths were beautiful and really showed off the flowers well. Another great money saving tip is these vase rentals. This bride chose to use these vases on 1/2 of the tables and had her bridesmaid’s just drop their bouquets in for a gorgeous final affect. The vase in the center is surrounded by attached votive candles which help add that romantic glow to the reception tent.
The other 1/2 of the tables had these tall silver flower towers (also a rental) topped with mounds of flowers and striking curly willow. The green hydrangeas, sunflowers, roses, dahlias, hypericum berries, celosia and hanging amaranthus created just the look we were going for.
Here is a close up shot of the flowers on the tower. These can be arranged on floral dishes so that after the event the couple can give the flowers away to their guests if desired.
For the outdoor ceremony every other chair going down the aisle was accented with an orange Gerber daisy tied with a chocolate satin bow.
Mary and I were so excited to try this out. The couple had an arbor and wanted to really play that up. We hung beaded crystal curtains on each side and glued in fresh flowers. It turned out better than we had even imagined and we can’t wait to do this again. The beaded curtains are a rental and have endless options.
To help define the aisle we strung the chairs with the chocolate brown ribbon and then scattered rose petals down each side. In this photo you can see the mansion in the background. This truly was a beautiful setting for any couple that is interested in an outdoor ceremony.
