Sarina's Round House Reception

The platinum wedding tall candle holders were burning low by the end of the evening.

Her father had fun on the boom putting up the tulle, lights and lanterns. The white balloon heart in the center was a nice touch.

Her photographer was great, and she loves frills so we put them everywhere. The two easel combination was more of a statement at the book table than one.
We used the french fencing to hold the helium balloons in place.
Her video table was full of interesting textures and accents; glass beadlets fabrics, candles photos and sayings with mossy fence toppers.

Her table centerpieces were gift bags with tulle and fresh flowers tucked in.
That is a tabletop waterfall in grey and black.
The plates and napkins made a visual statement. We could light the candles in the new lanterns.
A hat box held the black favor boxes.
She had her childhood tea set in the wedding colors with her blessing and baptism dresses. There was the poem about the 3 white dresses and my crystal chandelier and votives for light.


Karina's wedding reception in the roundhouse in Evanston was beautiful in fuchsia and pink.

Every place the tulle was gathered, there was a fern and daisy bouquet, 51 in all.


The only clue to how hard the wind was blowing is this photo with the tulle blowing across the steps, and the one below with the favor table cloth going south.

We wanted the pink tulle to drape, but had to tie it up to keep it from whipping the wedding party in the wind.


Jasmine and Cameron's ceremony site was a beautiful sunken lawn at her brother in law's home. The dance floor was built and brought to the site for the evening and later used as a gazebo between their homes.

Souvenir d'un beau jour means memory of a beautiful day, and we all have them now.
Those are flowerballs hanging from my light. I made the one with daisies for Jasmine's wedding by gluing daisy heads to Styrofoam balls.
My ladies group came for a birthday party in June. I used a painting as my inspiration for the colors, aqua and pink. I found cupcake candles at pier 1 for favors and made some from scratch with lemon (essential oil) flavoring and frosting to eat. My favorite ones though were the coconut ones with big flake coconut on top and plenty of coconut flavoring.

The green chair ties added a bit of color and sparkle to the guest's seating. In the cake gazebo, the wedding cake takes shape. The bride opted for simple lights on the frame with the crystal chandelier inside.

The metal tree with glass leaves and berries held little votives.

The tall book table makes signing in easy.
