Black Linens and a Beautiful Reception

I am starting to become a big fan of black linens for an elegant wedding reception. There is just something about how the centerpieces and favors look on a dark black background. It's amazing how just one color can bring a special and classy look to your reception.



This weekend, we did a wedding that used black tablecloths. The couple didn't have a huge floral budget, yet the flowers really stood out with the linens and gave it a beautiful look and feel. It just goes to show you how you don't have to spend a lot on a reception to make it gorgeous---spending a little extra money on one special item can have a great impact!

Backyard Pool Party Wedding

We recently helped plan and coordinate a backyard pool party wedding that was a huge hit. The couple did little nontraditional details here and there to make the wedding really represent what they are all about.



The centerpieces were amazing wildflowers purchased at the local wholesale floral market. Favors consisting of Jordan almonds and biscotti were placed at each table for people to eat. Guests enjoyed lounging in and around the pool after the meal and dancing the whole afternoon. We also placed baskets full of sunscreen and rolled up beach towels in their wedding colors by the pool for everyone to use.
