Elsie and Matt

Elsie and Matt were married the day after Thanksgiving. They had their reception in one of the loveliest greenhouses in the Valley, Highland Gardens. The greenhouse hosts a special reception area filled with tropical plants and stonework. An added bonus is the full-sized caterers kitchen.



Elsie chose willow green and white for her colors, a very fitting combination with the beautiful gardens.

Elegantly Expressed was responsible for decoration and providing the chocolate fountain and the dipping foods. The room needed very little in the way of extra decoration, but we accented with candles everywhere and tall statement vases. This combination softened the room, but added a great deal of elegance. To accentuate the color, we used willow green organza table overlays and chair sashes.









The centerpieces consisted of 3 vases, the tallest with calla lilies, and the shortest with candles. I loved what it added to the room. The head table was stunning with hydrangeas and candle arrangements.





The chocolate fountain was a lot of fun that night. We brought in pineapple, green apples, gummy bears, pretzels, and cream puffs for the perfect dipping foods. I also think the setup was quite lovely, but I might be biased ;).
