Pink Orchid Tree Escort TableThe bride had a penchant for sparkly things, so we placed a few complementary crystals on the pink and white orchid tree at at her cocktail hour.  Pink and white roses in silver julep vases were the perfect accent for cocktails table.  Lovely.

After the whirlwind surrounding graduation & the bar, Lydia and Brandon wed in a lovely ceremony at Central Christian Church.

Lydia’s bouquet consisted of white and two shades of yellow rose, craspedia and dusty miller, perfectly complementing her ivory lace gown.  Groomsmen wore gray tuxes with craspedia boutonnieres.

To accentuate the beauty of Central Christian Church, decor was kept to a minimum with candle accents and lush pew markers.

Lush pew markers in shades of yellow, ivory and gray with gray sweepers accented the pews.

After the ceremony, all attended a warm reception at the historic Austin Club.

Guests were greeted at the entrance of the ballroom with cocktail tables dressed in white linens and accented with a yellow sash.

Throughout the evening, the younger guests mingled in the foyer and laughed over bouquets of yellow roses.

View from the foyer into the ballroom.

Large crystal chandeliers graced the ballroom of The Austin Club while tall yellow and white centerpieces by The Silver Vase graced the guest tables.  Yellow vase petals were situated at just the right height to catch the eye of diners throughout the evening.  Silver pintuck linens by Unique Decor by Yara reflected the gold ambiance of the ballroom, while mercury votives and pillar candles created a lovely glow.

Silver candelabra accented by candlelight alternated with the taller centerpieces.

Pretty cake on silver & lace.

We wish Lydia and Brandon all the best!

Classic Black & White at Villa Antonia

I attended a classical, elegant wedding at Villa Antonia this past weekend.  The beautiful, blissfully happy bride wore white with sheer organza ruffles and carried white & cream roses/garden roses while her bridesmaids wore cute, black cocktail dresses and carried red roses with green leaf accent.

Adorable flower girls dressed in tulle sprinkled petals down the aisle.  The guys looked very Bond in black tuxes with either white or red boutonnieres.

Decor:  The ceremony arbor was swagged and draped with white chiffon, further complemented by a white aisle runner.  White chairs sporting black chair ties awaited guests.

Inside the Italianate villa, the decor was refined and elegant.  Tables wore black linens with white toppers and were graced with three different centerpieces.  The first was a gorgeous tall arrangement of almost one hundred red roses.  The vase of this arrangement was accented with red spray orchids, red petals and light blue water.  The blue was further picked up by the blue crystal drops hanging from each of the tall vases.  The table was lit by three tall cylinders, each with a black ribbon and floating white votive.

The second arrangement was of medium height with a green leaf, black ribbon and topped with an arrangement of red roses.  The final arrangement was similar in nature, but in a square vase.  All tables were accented with sparkling votives.

The cake table complemented the decor.
