Alyssa & Ryan

Alyssa & Ryan had their reception at a local church cultural hall. Alyssa's colors were cerulean (a lovely blue)and yellow, with sort of a tropical effect.

We put up what I call a spider-style ceiling with a central point and a "chandelier" of paper lanterns in the center. We completed the look by adding teal and white lights to the lanterns.





For the backdrop we constructed "the Jen" again. It always surprises me how many brides request this. No matter how often we do it, it always looks very elegant and it's fun to see the different colors of drapes.



We also put up a matching cake backdrop with a few minor changes to add variety.



The centerpieces were the popular shallow bowls with teal lights and yellow lilies. We placed them on yellow and blue square cloths for a final splash of color.





Finally, we marked the outside entrance by putting up shepherd hooks with paper lanterns with blue and yellow curled ribbon. I liked the simplicity.
