Denise's wedding was on a warm September day. We put the chairs facing the fern and hydrangea arch. It was a stunning compliment to the natural valley backdrop.

The gift table was small but had my white birdcage for cards.
The 6 canopy tents fit perfectly on the lawn.

A rose boule or pomander looks pretty hung with tulle.
Wire baskets can hold candles on shepherd hooks or double as nosegay holders suspended from ribbon tied onto the top of the tents.
We hung a battery type paper lantern with a sash to help light the smaller tents.
I put a silver organza electric chandelier in the largest tent.

Jillee's tables had satin table sashes with matching organza chair sashes. She wanted watermelon, kiwi and tangerine for her guest table colors
The cake table had a tulle sash tied in a bow.

Candace had two of these tall wicker basket holders at either side of her line.
Two simple metal arches together make a pretty shade cover for the cake.
Instead of standing in front of the white iron arch, they put a wicker settee with wedding colors under it.
These are the 6' pillars, but with the base and top it is nearly 8' tall.

My favorite things here were the cake stands with fresh flowers and grapes and little tarts on them. The fresh flowers were breathtaking. Her flower budget was $1500. Val and mom and Nette and I did them all the night before.
This was Sophie's wedding in California. Val and I worked together on this one. I brought as much with me as I could on the plane, and we used a rental company for the tables, chairs and linens. The bride and groom's table had a romantic candleabra over it.


I bought the fresh flowers for the cake the last minute at the grocery store! It was a scramble to get the right colors. Mom made the cake. It was delicious and looked divine.

Watermelon, tangerine and kiwi made a gorgeous combination in Jillee's wire stands.
These are the silver egg jars for flowers and the crystal hurricane.

Kathy did an amazing job decorating for my reception. It was held in a gym with virtually nothing to work with, but when I saw the final project, I could not have been happier! The lighting was perfect, the decorations exactly mirrored the peaceful, romantic, and antique mood that we wanted to have, and she made sure that she did things the way that I wanted them to be. She went the extra mile to make it special for us, and I would highly recommend her business for any wedding!

The iron table grouping with fence topper. The egg dome holds a candle.
This lighted glass tower held her bridal bouquet while she ate lunch.
French fencing in 3 sections.
We dressed the chairs for the ceremony, then put yellow ones around the tables with yellow overlays and pink around pink.
The half covers look good with sashes too.

Guestbook table, and suitcase for cards. The tiny crystal vase on the platestand had miniature fresh flowers in it later.


Amanda used an iron headboard to create a lacy backdrop for the photo table.
I used a crystal beaded garland and white flowers on one sid of the headboard.
White fabric and tulle with a pink pearl garland and white lights form a frame for the cake. A heart shaped plaster relief is hung from the tallest wreath stand.

These are the large wood stanchions.
The lighted Tuscan iron arch was the backdrop for the ceremony

An electric fountain with stone statue and fern stands looked beautiful outside the front door.


Cassie's reception at the Commander's house circa 1850 Fort Douglas Salt Lake City.

The men all wore kilts. Our 30" silver candlestick held a ribbon wrapped candle. Notice the 3 pillar candles with hand tied ribbon, studded with pearls in the footed holder. The fireplace bouquet was in a staghead silver ice bucket, and matched the guest tables.
