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.

Cassie and Matt

A few weeks ago I was able to do Cassie and Matt's wedding reception at the U of U Institute Building. It was a fun venue with an interesting layout. Cassie's colors were yellow and white and we did a full decoration package which included: the "Jen" backdrop; matching cake backdrop; paper lanterns; yellow table lanterns; 2 chocolate fountains and the lovely punch fountain. Needless to say, it was a busy day. I didn't get many pictures of the event, but here are a few to give you the idea.

Kimber and Nate

Today I was able to do a really fun wedding. Kimber and Nate got married on a very stormy Saturday but her night brightened up when she walked into the church where her reception was being held.

Kimber's colors were dark purple and lime green; very Spring-y. They had their reception at an older church with a unique set-up. Their receiving line was in the lobby and it led into the cultural hall which had tables, food, and cake. We put up the Jen backdrop with a dark purple valence in the lobby and topped the whole thing off with a light "tent" and paper lantern chandelier.

The tables in the cultural hall had purple satin overlays and green table runners. We finished it off with a classic ceiling with paper lanterns lit with green and white lights. The room was enchanting. I sometimes get very jealous of the decorations of my clients. It always makes me wish I could redo my own reception. ;)

New for Spring 2009

I am so excited to jump into the 2009 Wedding Season. It officially starts this weekend with the Provo High Bridal Fair and doesn't end until August. I am thrilled to have so many fun clients to work with and ideas to try out.

I found these great new ideas that I am dying to try. I found them on a website from a company based in Toronto. I don't think they will mind too much if I copy them, as I am definitely not their competition.

I'm going to attempt something similar to this for the Bridal Fair, in different colors of course:



This one is very elegant and modern:



I think this just looks cool: :)



Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks these are sweet. I would love to do this for a wedding!

Tobiany and Josh

I love the season I call Spring Break. This is the time after the Valentine's Day weddings and before the end of the semester in April. It's the planning time when I get everything ready for the BIG wedding season. So, even though it seems that I took the month of March off, I was actually working pretty hard. We bought and built a new backdrop of black wrought iron and we are excited to debut that in May.

This week I got a phone call from Tobiany to do a last minute backdrop for her wedding. She requested our most popular pillar backdrop along with a black drape behind to cover an unsightly wall. I felt fortunate that I was able to do it for her.

Tobiany and Josh had chosen a dark burgundy wine as their color, accented with bright spring flowers. We added a couple of extra curtains to this backdrop to fill it out a little more. I decided that I liked that look a lot better.
