Kimber and Nate

Today I was able to do a really fun wedding. Kimber and Nate got married on a very stormy Saturday but her night brightened up when she walked into the church where her reception was being held.

Kimber's colors were dark purple and lime green; very Spring-y. They had their reception at an older church with a unique set-up. Their receiving line was in the lobby and it led into the cultural hall which had tables, food, and cake. We put up the Jen backdrop with a dark purple valence in the lobby and topped the whole thing off with a light "tent" and paper lantern chandelier.

The tables in the cultural hall had purple satin overlays and green table runners. We finished it off with a classic ceiling with paper lanterns lit with green and white lights. The room was enchanting. I sometimes get very jealous of the decorations of my clients. It always makes me wish I could redo my own reception. ;)

New for Spring 2009

I am so excited to jump into the 2009 Wedding Season. It officially starts this weekend with the Provo High Bridal Fair and doesn't end until August. I am thrilled to have so many fun clients to work with and ideas to try out.

I found these great new ideas that I am dying to try. I found them on a website from a company based in Toronto. I don't think they will mind too much if I copy them, as I am definitely not their competition.

I'm going to attempt something similar to this for the Bridal Fair, in different colors of course:



This one is very elegant and modern:



I think this just looks cool: :)



Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks these are sweet. I would love to do this for a wedding!

Tobiany and Josh

I love the season I call Spring Break. This is the time after the Valentine's Day weddings and before the end of the semester in April. It's the planning time when I get everything ready for the BIG wedding season. So, even though it seems that I took the month of March off, I was actually working pretty hard. We bought and built a new backdrop of black wrought iron and we are excited to debut that in May.

This week I got a phone call from Tobiany to do a last minute backdrop for her wedding. She requested our most popular pillar backdrop along with a black drape behind to cover an unsightly wall. I felt fortunate that I was able to do it for her.

Tobiany and Josh had chosen a dark burgundy wine as their color, accented with bright spring flowers. We added a couple of extra curtains to this backdrop to fill it out a little more. I decided that I liked that look a lot better.
