Christina and Jonathan

On April 1st, we decorated a wedding that was definitely not an April Fool's Day joke. It was a gorgeous outdoor affair for Christina and Jonathan, with lots of white and blue flowers. The ceremony was held at Shawnee Mission Park and the weather miraculously stayed dry and was warm enough to provide a great atmosphere for the wedding.

The ceremony took place on the wide patio of one of the more private shelters. We brought in a black wrought iron arch and decorated it with blue satin and flowers.

We used blue mason jars with white stock to create lovely pathway markers on the path from the parking lot to the ceremony site.

The flowers were so gorgeous in their simplicity. The bridal bouquet was made of dark blue delphinium and white/ivory roses, wrapped in white lace. I couldn't choose which picture I liked best, so I included all of them. :)

The bridesmaid bouquets were made of white stock and blue delphinium wrapped in white lace.

This is one of the corsages made for the mothers of the bride and groom.

The reception was held at the 180 room in Olathe. We used the blue mason jars and put white roses and white stock to accent the lanterns provided by the venue.

It was an honor to work with Christina and Jonathan on their special day! Thanks so much for the opportunity to work with you!

Kerri and Danny

In January, we were able to create a lovely winter-esque wedding in blue, white, black, with silver accents, held at The Pavilion Event Space for Kerri and Danny.

For the ceremony, we brought in our pipe and drape backdrop with white curtains and lights and white satin and navy blue draping across the top and sides. On either side of the backdrop we brought in white pillars with large white and blue flower arrangements.

The tables looks classy with black tablecloths with white satin chair ties, table runner, and napkins. The centerpieces were created using 3 vases of different heights with white roses and blue delphinium inside. 3 blue votive candle holders sat around the outside, all on top of large mirrors.

The head table featured a lovely projected monogram with names and wedding date with LED trees on either side. 

The cake and toss bouquet:

The bridal bouquet was made of all white flowers including garden roses, hydrangea, and calla lilies as well as a few silver accents. 

The bridesmaid bouquets were made with white gerbera daisies and blue delphinium. 

Thanks so much for letting us help create your beautiful day!!

Sami and Tyler

Powder blue and mint green make a gorgeous May wedding and it was so fun to use the light colors to create a whimsical, yet elegant, design for Tyler and Sami's wedding.

The backdrop was draped in blue satin with mint green and blue tissue paper balls hanging in front of white curtains with white lights.

The centerpieces were three vases of different heights with Tiffany blue and white pearls suspended inside, sitting on top of a gathered runner. We alternated the overlays, runners, and chair ties between the blue and green to give lots of color to the tables.

Cake Backdrop & Bridal Bouquet:

To add the final touch to the room, we installed dropped ceiling drapery and brought in up-lights with alternating blue and green lights

The bride's bouquet was made of ivory roses, light blue delphinium and white oriental lilies. 

The bridesmaids carried simple bouquets of just 3 roses and 3 stems of delphinium.

Outside entrance: Mint green and blue lanterns

Sami and Tyler were a wonderful couple and it was delightful to be able to be part of such a wonderful occasion! 

Deena and Kumar

While we do a lot of very large weddings, with lots of decor and floral needs, we also really enjoy setting up simple pieces for small events. In February we were privileged to be able to help Deena and Kumar with their last minute wedding needs. They were having a small ceremony in a little church and wanted something to dress the room up for the occasion and draw attention away from a cluttered stage.

We brought in our standard 10 ft wide pipe and drape backdrop and placed a light blue satin drape across the top and sides. We arranged the curtains to be thicker to hide the stage and to soften the lights.

We also put a simple, but lovely rose and bow on the pews down the aisle. It was just a little touch but I think it helped finish the effect.

Thank you so much for letting us be part of your special day!!

Rachel and Ravi

We love working with our Indian brides to create their multi-day celebrations! Each day is decorated with different colors and different styles, and often in different venues. We get the awesome opportunity to create two or three totally different events, one right after the other. It provides quite the adrenaline rush! :)

For Rachel and Ravi, I worked with them to decorate two different spaces for their wedding. Rachel was so fantastic to work with and I enjoyed every bit of our planning process.

The first backdrop was built in a community center in Olathe and was used for the Hindu wedding ceremony. We framed the entire stage with white curtains with lights strung throughout. The colors for this ceremony were green, pink, yellow, and gold, so we did our best to combine them in a festive and tasteful manner.

We created two large floral arrangements of yellow spider mums and placed on them on either side of the stage along with a green up-light.

The tables had pink tablecloths and really simple centerpieces of 3 yellow spider mums.

The reception was held at Noah's Event Space in Overland Park and the colors for this event were red and gold.

We created a dual layered backdrop with red sheer curtains in front of white sheer curtains and white lights. We accented the backdrop with gold sequined fabric. Two large floral arrangements made of red and white flowers were placed on our short pillars to complete the look.

There were two styles of centerpieces used. The first were 24 inch tall cylinder vases with red orchids and 5 tealight holders of various heights around the outside of the vase. We then placed everything on a mirror to reflect the candlelight.

The other centerpiece style were lanterns provided by the venue. We wove red orchids in between the light strands for some added color and customization.

We also enjoyed coming up with a new way to tie the chair ties, thanks to the unique style of chairs at Noah's. This horizontal slice style was meant to mimic the asymmetrical nature of the backdrop. Notice the little ascot on the knot? These chairs were amazing in person!

Finally, we placed red up-lights around the room to add just a little bit of extra ambiance.

The cake was gorgeous and was provided by Creative Cakes by Sandy, who has created several of our most favorite cakes. :)

Thanks for allowing us to help you create such a stunning wedding and reception! Congratulations again!

Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Dinner

Often, (probably because of our name) people think we only do weddings, however, we fill our schedule with all sorts of events including birthday parties, anniversary parties, and corporate events. Recently we were honored to create the centerpieces for a fundraiser dinner. 49 gallons of water beads, 160 vases & LED lights, and 52 mirrors. This was what went into the centerpieces for the Bloch School of Business Entrepreneur of the Year awards.

As a former graduate of the school, I was so honored to have been hired to create the centerpieces for this event. The awards and the dinner serve as a fundraiser, so the goal was to create centerpieces that created an impact on a small budget.

We designed this centerpiece using aspects of the event's marketing campaign, which included the words "Perseverance, Grit, and Fearless". The styling was meant to evoke an inner city feel, but with clean, modern accents. The result was a centerpiece constructed of three cylinder vases with the words written in block up the sides of the vases. The vases were filled to the top with clear water beads and were given a white LED light and placed on a mirror.

The centerpieces were perfect for the room. They fit the theme and really added to the atmosphere of the night.

Shalaya and Dillard

The phrase I remember most from planning this wedding came from my very first consultation with this lovely bride. She said, " If you wouldn't see it in a castle, you won't see it at my wedding." I loved it and I loved that she knew exactly how she wanted her wedding to be.

Shay was an absolute delight to work with and she and her new husband make a gorgeous couple. I was so honored to be able to help them create their dream wedding.

The wedding was held in the Little Theater at the KC Convention Center. The theater is filled with gorgeous art-deco architecture of gold and black. To complement this, the wedding colors were crisp white and black.

Because the ceremony and reception were held in the same room, we did a complete room flip in just under an hour. We provided the backdrop, chair covers & sashes, all the flowers, centerpieces,
