Yasmin and Nathan

We were so delighted to help the Hendrickson family design the decor for their son and new daughter-in-law's wedding open house! The newlyweds were such a cute couple and it was an honor to assist in the wedding festivities. The open house was held in the family's home, which was already gorgeous, so we decided go with a casual, summer theme and just add simple decor with lanterns and lots of flowers in mason jars. 

The guest book table:


The decor on the piano in the entryway:

Front door entrance:


  I'm not a great chalkboard artist, but I did my best ;)

Fireplace and mantle decor: 


The dessert table (before the desserts arrived):



We made a burlap banner that said Mr & Mrs and hung it across the windows. We also hung mason jars with flowers in between the window panes (I'm sorry it's so hard to see this!):

On the deck we put four cocktail tables with ivory satin linens and mason jars of flowers. To add some romantic ambiance, we swagged white lights along the railings. We also brought two of our LED blossom trees to add some sparkle in the corners of the deck:








There was a patio downstairs with a fire pit and two barrels. We put hydrangea plants in the barrels and tied them with ribbon to dress them up a bit:



Thank you so much for allowing us to help you celebrate your sweet marriage! :)

Nikki and Roman

We recently had the opportunity to create a backdrop for the wedding of a lovely couple, Nikki and Roman.

The backdrop may look familiar, as we've done a very similar style, in the same colors, in the same venue. However, we are using our new backdrop form which allows us to be more versatile in the size of the backdrop, customizing it to the size of the stage. We also have brand new voile curtains, which looks gorgeous with lights behind it.

This particular backdrop is 16 feet wide and 8ft tall.


We also provided pick-up and set-up services where we picked up the linens from the linen vendor, put them on the tables and then placed the bride's centerpieces on the tables for her. :)


Thanks Nikki and Roman for letting us help with your special day!

Emily and Robbie

We were so thrilled to be able to help decorate Emily and Robbie's wedding! They had their reception in a room that needed something to dress it up and make it feel like a celebration and we were happy to  accommodate them. :)

We installed a draped ceiling and added up-lights along the walls to create a romantic and fun atmosphere. Ceiling drapery and lights really can be one of the best ways to transform a blah room into something stunning. 


The tables were decorated with black lace runners and our black lanterns, along with bouquets of red alstroemeria and tealights.




It was a gorgeous reception! Thanks for letting us be part of your special day!

Mother & Daughter Tea Party

This past week we had the opportunity to create a Mother & Daughter Tea Party. Ideally, we would have loved to have had this party outside in a garden, however the weather was quite chilly so we did our best to bring the garden feel inside. We based the decor on a Victorian garden party using floral paper garlands and fresh flowers.





The centerpieces were mixed and matched tea pots with roses mixed with baby's breath. In some arrangements we used peach spray roses and in other we used large dual colored pink/maroon roses. They were quite lovely and smelled heavenly.




We created a backdrop area for guests to have their photos taken, along with some fancy props to dress themselves up a bit. :) The backdrop was created using our rosette curtain and pink satin drape.



We set the food up using mixed and matched cake platters with scattered floral arrangements. The food was an assortment of bite-sized appetizers and desserts. They looked adorable and tasted great too!





Thanks for letting us be part of your special event!

Little Man Baby Shower

Baby Showers are just as exciting as bridal showers and bachelorette parties, and a lot of planning goes into creating the perfect baby shower. 

This past weekend we were able to plan and decorate a baby shower to help welcome a sweet baby boy due next month. We were given the colors of the baby's room and created a Little Man theme for the party.  We didn't want to go overboard, but we did want a fun environment and good food. We held the party at brunch time so all the foods were breakfast themed.

Food Table: 



We decorated little milk bottles with bows and added a straw with a mustache for a fun touch:


Yogurt bar and mini breakfast casseroles:

Bacon Puff Twists (these were amazing!):

Blueberry Scallop Pizza:

Instead of cinnamon rolls, we made King Cake, as it was Carnival weekend. :)

We served virgin sangria, which was a huge hit!

The guests decorated baby bibs using fabric markers. These ladies were creative!

As a thank you, we gave each guest a pair of warm, fuzzy socks:

Mermaid Birthday Party

In addition to weddings, we love helping to plan and decorate a great party. We were recently very fortunate to be able to work on the birthday party for a 6 year old girl who loves mermaids.

Together with the mother and birthday girl, we planned the decorations, the food menu, and provided all the party extras, including food tags, pearl necklace party favors, and were on hand to handle logistics. The goal was to make it really fun for the girls without going overboard. We kept the food and the decorations simple and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Balloon Net Backdrop for Food Table:


Candelabra used for hanging our gumball pearl necklace party favors:

The girls sat here on pillows to eat. Each plate was decorated with a starfish or seahorse ornament that were given to the guests as party favors:

The food was amazing but simple and the girls loved it!




The birthday girl requested a mermaid tail cake so we helped mom plan how to make and decorate it. The girls loved it!

This underwater scene was used behind the table where the girls decorated door-hangers with sea stickers:

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!
