Wedding with a View

Whew, this wedding was probably our biggest of the year! We don't usually take on executing a full wedding design, including flowers, by ourselves but we took exception for this one!

This wedding was lovely, feminine and elegant, in black, ivory and blush. My favorite part of the invitations were the black and ivory lace envelope liners, and a pattern we carried throughout the printed materials.


Natasha and Gene had an outdoor wedding in August, so we made the programs fans, repeating the lace pattern paper. The place cards mirrored the invitations, mounted on a blush pink paper. We also created CD cases as favors, with their custom playlist printed and mounted on the inside.


Here is the outside of the CD favor, on the table at the reception.

The reception was held at Glen Oak Country Club, overlooking the golf course. I think I'll just let the photos speak for themselves on this one.

We are loving these chair covers, they're spandex so they fit to the form of the banquet chair. We think it gave the room a much more streamlined look. We also went with floor length black tablecloths for a more elegant look, topped with an ivory satin runner. Table linens and chair covers are courtesy of Thelma and Louise catering, give them a ring if you'd like to rent these for your event!


 The sweetheart table was an ivory lace overlay on top of a floor length black tablecloth, topped with two small black vases holding ivory and blush flowers. In the center of the table was a box with their monogram that doubled as a vase for the bride's bouquet.

In the entry way, like the sweetheart table, we used an ivory lace overlay for the entry table that held the placecards.

We alternated three different ivory and blush centerpieces. One large globe of flowers on an elegant, slender black stand. Another was a grouping of 5 different small black vases with ivory and blush flowers, accented with wispy black ostrich feathers. The last was a small black urn, filled with blush garden roses.

Here is a shot of the lovely ladies with their bouquets, which we also did. They just wanted very simple, small bunches of roses. The bridesmaids carried ivory garden roses, wrapped with black satin ribbon. The bridal bouquet was blush garden roses, and delicate ivory and pink flowers, that {I think} are called tea roses, at the center. We surrounded the flowers with more wispy black ostrich feathers and wrapped them all in black ribbon.

The program fans hung from the chairs at the outdoor ceremony, which of course we did not get a photo of.

Here is a shot of the ceremony once everyone was sitting, and I think if you check out the front row you can see a program or two left on the chairs.

Phew I think that does it for Natasha and Gene's wedding. Thank you for having me design your beautiful day, I hope you thought it was as lovely as we did.
