Jessica and Mickey

Last weekend we had the pleasure of decorating a wedding reception at Stoney Creek Inn in St. Joseph, MO. We don't usually get so far out of the KC metro area, but every once in awhile we like to see the countryside.


The wedding colors were navy blue and hot pink with a rustic twist. There were two different centerpieces, the first being a floral one with an arrangement of hydrangea and a fuchsia rose sitting atop a tree disk. 

 The other centerpiece was a black lantern sitting atop a mirror and surrounded by bud vases with roses and tealights.


The family created a touching heritage table showing wedding pictures of parents and grandparents.

A thank you table was put next to the exit which held little favors of brown cows wrapped in denim jean pockets and twine. 


The final touch, of course, was the tent-styled dropped ceiling of organza and white lights which provided a lovely, soft ambiance in the room.


In addition to the decor, I also had the opportunity of making the wedding party flowers, such as bouquets. boutonnieres, and corsages. Unfortunately, in the chaos of the day, I was unable to get good pictures of the flowers. Below are the few I was able to take of the bouquets.

Singh Wedding

This past Monday we pulled out all the stops for a gorgeous reception at Longview Mansion. The reception was held in the pavilion tent behind the mansion which comes standard with 2 giant chandeliers and air conditioning. The ceiling decor was already lovely but we added some white organza draping across the ceiling to soften the look.


The backdrop was our ever popular pipe and drape with a silver drape and a thin drape of purple. From the pipe we draped purple and lavender satin to four pillars in a cascading effect. It was quite lovely 




The centerpieces were a compilation of white and purple roses, hydrangea, stock, and alstroemeria. We made half of them short, sitting directly on the table, and the other half were placed on top of 24 inch tall cylinder vases. Inside the vases we placed three roses. We were quite pleased with the end result.




We also provided the linens for this event. We used silver satin on the tables, with white chair covers and purple satin chair ties to complete the look. 



 As a finishing touch, we added a few roses to the top of the beautiful wedding cake.


The staff at Longview Mansion were wonderful to work with and the overall we felt it was a gorgeous event.
