A Sparkly Snow-filled Fantasy

After months of working on warm toned events with bright reds and deep browns, we were extremely excited to work with Danielle & Ryan on their blue and silver "winter wonderland" themed wedding day.

With requests for "lots of snow, sparkle, and blue hues" we set to work creating a chilly environment of winter bliss.

The one hundred foot church aisle was highlighted with a bright white aisle runner adorned with a the couple's monogram handpainted in complentary blue tones.

Since Ryan popped the question in Central Park, NYC, the couple wanted to incorporate the city skyline graphic. On the place card table we created a three dimensional skyline silouette with glimmering lights and towering arrangements of white curly willow dripping in gems and fresh white rose buds.

A impressive arrangement of snowy white branches, glowing candlelight, and billowing ostrich feathers was the perfect spot for the custom guestbook and pictures of the couple throughout their relationship.

In keeping with the New York City references, the couple named the tables in the reception with their favorite destinations around the Big Apple. The table names hung from the jeweled branches of white manzanita trees.


Danielle's love of feathers and the couple's winter skyline icon made their way onto the custom card box with the glittering silouette of the skyline wrapping itself around the top tier and fluffy white feathers adorning the top. The card box and another jeweled tree sat on piles of "snow" creating a perfect wintery effect.

Danielle & Ryan, we hope you enjoyed your winter wonderland as much as

we enjoyed creating it!

A New Twist on "Falling" in Love

When we started designing Dawn & Jonathan's big day, the couple were looking for a traditional autumn experience - without leaves. So we dabbled with autumn tones - deep reds, rich browns and warm golds and harvest themed graphics.
However, after we met for the sample meeting, Dawn & Jonathan expressed using a gorgeous "fruit punch" tone and their love of "bling". We loved the idea and ran with it!

The ceremony welcomed guests with custom programs and ended with a display of rose cones adorned with the couple's monogram.



The cocktail hour sparkled with our signature glowing votive placecards and assorted monogrammed displays.


Amongst a sea of tables, the reception room housed an amazing photo arrangement of the bride & groom's parents and grandparents on their wedding days and golden anniversaries as well as the fabric wrapped guestbook and select engagement pictures of the happy couple.




A table full of rose petals and bright white votives was the perfect pedestal for the warm brown fabric on the card box which was highlighted with "fruit punch" ribbon and a rhinestone embellished monogram.


Thank you Dawn & Jonathan for letting us be a part of your non-traditional fall wedding. We had an "amazingly autumnlicious" time!
