Dyamond and Darrien

This past weekend we had the good fortune to decorate the wedding and reception for an adorable couple, Dyamond and Darrien. They were wonderful to work with and we enjoyed every bit of the journey, all the way through the design process to the fabulous implementation.

The wedding was held at The Gem Theater and the wedding was at The American Jazz Museum, both of which are in the historic 18th and Vine district of Kansas City. Dyamond chose her colors and theme to match the classic elegance of the jazz age, using red, gold and ivory as her main colors, with her bridesmaids in black. Overall, we kept the decor really simple, but the end result was gorgeous. 

In addition to the decor, we were able to provide all the bridal party flowers, including this gorgeous bouquet of red roses with diamond pins in the center of the roses. 

For the wedding ceremony, we put up our 10ft pipe and drape backdrop with lace curtains and a gold drape. We also brought in two short pillars and topped them with two small vases of roses. On the stairs leading up to the stage we placed 4 tall vases with gold fabric inside, topped with red flower balls.

The reception featured a 20ft backdrop with red satin drape. We brought the pillars over from the ceremony and used them again for the reception. 

We really dressed the head table up with a gold candelabra that we crowned with flower ball of white hydrangea and red roses. We placed pearl and diamond pins in the center of the roses for an extra sparkle.  

For the centerpieces, we used red roses in a gold vase, topped with 3 small white ostrich feathers. We draped the vases with crystal strands and placed them on top of mirrors. We finished the tables off with 3 gold mercury glass votives and sprinkles of red petals and diamond jewels. 

The bridal party tables had a taller golden vase with a flower ball and two mercury glass vases with red pebbles and floating candles. 

We were also able to finish off the cake with a few large roses and a little extra bling. 

The last details included the ivory satin tablecloths and the red satin chair ties which we provided. We also placed a second candelabra on the guest book table, along with the toss bouquet (which was identical to the bridesmaids bouquets) to welcome the guests into the reception.

We really enjoyed working with this lovely bride and groom and the wonderful staff of The American Jazz Museum who helped pull off this beautiful celebration. Thanks for letting us be part of your special day!

Catrina and Matt

We had a unique opportunity to coordinate and pull together an entire wedding in 10 days! The bride and groom decided to get married very quickly with a very small budget and came to us to help pull it all together. We love these kinds of challenges!

Gina (our assistant wedding designer) and Annalee (our main designer) met with Catrina for a couple of hours and figured out all the details. Catrina found the perfect dress within her budget off a sample rack and we found the perfect location. As we were only expecting around 30 people, we put together a simple backyard wedding with a rustic charm theme and yellow as her main color.

The backyard didn't need much decorating as it was filled with gorgeous flowers and beautifully landscaped but we brought in our wrought-iron arch and draped it with some burlap fabric. We then hung from the arch mason jars with candles and flowers. It was gorgeous.

We brought in our fabulous harpist, Stephanie, to play before and during the ceremony. Her music created the perfect atmosphere for the occasion.

Gina and I are normally not bakers, but we've hosted enough of our own special parties that in this case we made an exception and made the red velvet cupcakes and the one-tiered wedding cake.  They were a pretty big hit. We also served lemonade and water, which was perfect as the weather was pretty hot.

We decorated the cake table with more hanging mason jars and some rustic monogram letters that we made and hung above the cake.

We also made the bride's bouquet with a wildflower, rustic theme, featuring yellow and white flowers, the highlight being some gorgeous sunflowers.

Thanks Catrina and Matt for allowing us to help create your perfect wedding!

Maram

We were delighted to be able to provide a gorgeous backdrop for Maram on her special day! She held her reception at the Cotillion in Blue Springs. Her colors were gold and turquoise and she wanted an elegant, yet simple decor theme.

We provided a ten foot wide pipe and drape, with gold and turquoise draping across the top and down the sides. Our two short pillars were then used to hold flower arrangements next to two light trees. The backdrop was exactly as she hoped and was a beautiful final touch.

For her centerpieces, she had gold vases topped with turquoise flower balls and turquoise crinkled taffeta runners and chair sashes.

The entire room was gorgeous. Thanks again Maram for letting us help with your beautiful wedding!

Roshy and Zirak

We had the privilege of decorating a lovely wedding for a lovely couple this past weekend. They had a two day event, with the wedding on the first day and the reception the next evening. The entire celebration was elegant and beautiful, as was the bride.

The wedding was held at the Shawnee Civic Center and on the stage we built a lovely pipe and drape backdrop with gold drape and 2 gold panels tied with burgundy sash.

The centerpieces were 3 vases of varied height with a burgundy rose in each vase and some pearl/diamond bling wired to the roses. These were sitting atop a square mirror on gold tablecloths.

The reception was held at the Ball Conference Center in Olathe. The colors of the day were silver and blue and room was decorated with a clean elegance. The centerpieces were white flower balls with crystals and the room was accented with purple uplights along the walls. 

On the stage we put up the pipe and drape backdrop again, but this time it had a silver sash with 3 paneled sections consisting of silver and royal blue panels.

We had such a great time decorating for this wonderful occasion! Congratulations again to the happy couple!

Shelley and Austin

We love a good country wedding every now and then, so we were delighted to decorate Shelley and Austin's beautiful wedding and reception. The event was held at Acquaint Gathering in Grain Valley, MO, which is a charming little chapel-turned-reception-hall, perfect for a rustic, country, or vintage themed wedding.

Shelley's colors were hot pink and yellow, bright colors to match the bright and summery June day with it's perfect weather. We were excited to provide the bridal party flowers and used roses that were both yellow and pink. They were absolutely gorgeous and smelled lovely!

The ceremony took place outside at the pergola installed on the side of the hall. The pergola is covered in green wisteria branches, but we added some color by sticking white and yellow daisies throughout. We also hung fuchsia organza down the front pillars and arranged two tall floral pieces compiled of daisies and wildflower-esque flowers.

Down the aisle we hung mason jars with white and yellow daisies on shepherd hooks and tied with lace and twine.

Inside the hall, the centerpieces were each a little different. Some had small white lanterns, others fuchsia pink mason jars with candles, and each with different floral arrangements sitting atop wooden disks.

Other touches around the room included the sweetheart table accented with candle-holders and small floral arrangements and the gorgeous cake display,

Congratulations and thank you so much for letting us be part of your special day!

Jasjit

We had a great time decorating Jasjit's wedding and reception. As it was a two day affair, we provided backdrops for both days and centerpieces for the wedding ceremony.

The colors for the wedding were hot pink and baby pink. The backdrop was a 20 ft wide pipe and drape with both colors as the drape. We also hung small flowers on crystal beads throughout the backdrop for a subtle touch of bling and additional color. 

We also provided some tall willow branch arrangements to go on the stage with pink flowers and hanging crystals.

The centerpieces were small and simple, with snapdragons in a cylinder vase with diamond ribbon wrapped around the bottom. 

For the reception, the colors were navy blue and silver. We created a unique backdrop with blue drapes criss-crossing in front of white curtains. 

We also created beautiful floral pieces for the stage decor using white hydrangea, pink roses and blue lillies. 

The entire celebration was gorgeous and filled with music, dancing, and good food. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Autumn and David

It was such a delight working with Autumn to design her wedding. She first contacted way back in 2013, so this wedding was a long time in the making and finally, last weekend, the beautiful day arrived.

Autumn's colors were hot pink and navy blue with just a touch of subtle bling. The reception was held at the Mahaffie Heritage Center and we pulled out all the stops to making this a gorgeous event for the lovely couple.

The tables had navy linens with menus tucked into hot pink napkins sitting atop silver chargers. There were two different centerpieces that alternated on the tables. The first was just a lovely, simple bouquet of hot pink flowers consisting of gerbera daisies, calla lilles, roses, and green hypericum berries.

The second centerpiece consisted of three vases with roses and hypericum berries sitting atop mirrors.

We decorated the dance floor by draping white organza and white lights across the beams to create a starry night feeling to the room. You might also notice the blue uplighting we placed around the room.

We included a little bit of sparkle in the form of sequin tablecloths and swag at the head table and the cake table. It was the perfect touch of glam.

We also were able to put flowers on the beautiful cake (cake was made by Sandy Danner of Creative Cakes).

We even decorated the fireplace with pillar candles to finish off the room.

We were also thrilled to be able to create the bridal party florals. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and we love how the bride's bouquet turned out, as you can see in the pictures below.

Besides all the bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids, we also made corsages and bouts for the bridal party using roses and hypericum.
