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.

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. 

Abike and Michael

Abike is a gorgeous woman who moved to the US from Nigeria a few years ago, marrying a man who also hails from the same homeland. She was so sweet and very easy to work with. It was an absolute pleasure decorating her wedding!

 

The wedding colors were purple and ivory and together we pulled together a very budget-friendly, yet elegant decor plan. Due to a scheduling conflict with the venue, The View Community Center in Grandview, we only had 1 hour to set everything up before the party started and only 1/2 hour to take it all down afterward! It was a pretty tight deadline, but my dedicated team was up to the challenge.

We used both ivory and purple satin overlays on the tables and as chair ties. The centerpieces consisted of ivory and lavender roses and a few tealights. It was elegant in it's simplicity.

The backdrop was our classic pipe and drape, with a purple drape and white wisteria trees at either end.

We also were also able to debut our new addition, the ornate ivory couch! We adore the unique lines of this vintage couch and hope to see more of it in our upcoming events!

To conclude, here is a picture of the gorgeous bride who was gracious enough to let me take her picture. Thanks for letting us be part of your special day!

Sara and Aaron

We always love decorating new spaces and seeing more of the neat venues around Kansas City. This morning we put up a pipe and drape backdrop for a delightful bride in the Little Theatre at the Kansas City Convention Center. The theater has such a unique shape with gorgeous art deco detailing, it's easy to see why trendy brides enjoy having their weddings in this space. 

The bride's colors were black and white, which made for a very sophisticated style; clean and simple. At the front of the room is a small stage, perfect for a little wedding ceremony. We installed our 10 ft pipe and drape backdrop with a simple satin draping across the top and sides. We loved the simplicity of backdrop and how well it blended with the rest of the room. 

The three tables are for the unity sand and memory candles.

Hera and Asif

This past weekend we had the opportunity to create a backdrop for Hera and Asif. The colors for their wedding celebration were hot pink, turquoise and gold.

We set-up a pipe and drape backdrop with white curtains and a drape of both gold and hot pink. We strung white lights and crystal bead strands throughout the curtains and hung hot pink flowers on the crystal strands. We also made huge flower balls (14 inches in diameter) covered in hot pink flowers sitting in Eiffel tower vases. We loved the end result!

As always, we love to hear what you think so leave a comment below! :)

Rock Star Birthday Party

We had an awesome opportunity to put on a rock star birthday party for a terrific 8 year old's birthday party and her 11 energetic friends.

We created a 10 foot stage with turquoise and hot pink curtains, complete with silver stars. The girls used the stage to sing their favorite songs via karaoke (we had a projector displaying the words on the opposite wall). We had four mics hooked up and lots of props (inflatable guitars, sunglasses, boombox pillows, etc) to to complete the look. The girls had a blast singing their favorite songs and becoming little divas. We had fun playing disk jockey and running technology and taking portraits in front of the curtains.

We'd love to help make your next party a hit! The Rock Star Party Pack is available to rent for parties and includes:
10 ft wide curtain backdrop

2 small spotlights
karaoke machine and 2 mics
projector
small spinning, multi-colored disco light
inflatable props

Denise and Trevor

I was honored to be able to decorate the reception of Denise and Trevor in Utah this past weekend. They are such a cute, sweet couple. They wanted a simple but elegant wedding decorated in emerald green and silver and green trees with "lots of lights!", as Denise said, and we were more than delighted to accommodate their requests.

The backdrop was a lovely but simple, pipe and drape with an emerald green drape.

The tables were decorated with silver overlays and emerald green runners. The centerpieces were bowls with waterbeads and LED lights with a white spider mum. They perfectly fit the theme of simple elegance.

As you can see, we put up our famous tent-styled draped ceiling with the 4ft chandelier and we added spotlights to various areas of the room to accent the cake, backdrop and photo displays.

Cake: (I kind of love being able to be the one to add the flowers to the cake!)

Cute Pictures!

 The centerpiece I created for the food table:

I also had the pleasure of making the flowers for the bridal party with the help of my favorite Utah floral assistant! Denise specifically asked for no roses so for her bouquet we used a variety of white flowers such as spider mums, gerbera daisies, calla lilies and snapdragons. We added in some green hydrangea and purple tulips to give the bouquet some life and color.

The mother and grandmother corsages were made from two pom daisies, hypericum berries and a purple tulip. 

The bridesmaids bouquets were made from the same variety of flowers as the brides bouquet, minus the tulips. The flower girl was more than happy to model the bouquet for us. :)

Thanks Denise and Trevor for letting us be a part of your special day!
