Jeanne and AJ

Jeanne and AJ had the traditional, backyard reception on a perfect June evening. Her colors were blue and green and we tried hard to create a lovely, garden atmosphere. The backdrop was a white lattice and pillar gateway accented with ivy and white lights.

To bring out the summer garden feeling, we put up strands of lanterns above the eating area. The lanterns really brought out a fun, lovely feeling to the reception.

Jennifer and Chad

Wow, June is just so busy for wedding coordinators! I love cranking out the creativity when the pressure is on!

I was recently able to decorate for Jennifer and Chad's wedding. They were married in the Lindon Courthouse over a bright and sunny Memorial Day weekend. Jennifer's colors were blue and champagne, which were just lovely together. We kept the decorations really simple and I was really happy with the results.

For the backdrop we put up our ever popular "Jen" Backdrop with the most perfect blue drape. It was beautiful in front of the wood framed windows with the light streaming in from behind. To add some enchantment to the room we put white paper lanterns up on the ceiling. I felt that it looked really awesome.

The bride was kinda bummed out that because it was in a courtroom, there was a large metal detector in front of the doorway. I told her not to worry and decorated it with flowers and ivy. The final touch was the paper lantern pathway markers.

EvaLynn and Mitch

I loved the theme of EvaLynn and Mitch's wedding: mountainous wildflowers. Her colors were those of the flowers: blue, pink, purple, yellow and touches of pine green. It was quite lovely. She held her reception in a gorgeous backyard with lots of foliage to add to the feel of the night.


We used a very simple black wrought iron arch for her backdrop, decked out in wildflowers and ivy. The arch blended right into the surrounding decor and made it feel like it had always belonged. We also hung white lanterns from the trees and pathway hooks which was very enchanting when the sun when down.




The centerpieces were fishbowls with river rocks at the bottom and wildflower heads floating with a candle. We had also wrapped bear grass around the inside of the bowl. We put that on top of an organza runner, each table with a different color. It was quite beautiful when the candles were lit.



Some of the little extras we included were the garden fountain with mini black iron trellis. We floated flowers in the fountain to tie in the look. The fountain was actually quite relevant since we had been fighting the rain all day long.



We also dressed up the card birdcage with wildflowers for the gift table and floated flowers in the beautiful pool.






To top it off, I contracted with Tickled Pink Floral to do the flowers for the event and they did an amazing job. Melissa, the floral designer, was able to create a gorgeous bouquet for the bride that looked like she had just gone for a walk and gathered these flowers on the side of a mountain path. Together we also made the adorable flower girl hair wreaths. They were so cute!

The complete event was simply gorgeous and we had a delightful time creating it for the gracious bride and groom.
