Congratulations Heather & Rob

Another phenomenal wedding this weekend! Heather and Rob were married at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Sandusky, followed by a gorgeous lakeside reception in the Compass Ballroom at Lyman Harbor.

The color scheme was black & white, with accents of color coming from the amazing tropical flowers from Tina B Distinctive Florals. String lighting and lanterns hung over the dance floor, a photo booth from North Coast Photo Booth provided hours of fun for the guests, and there were six (yes, I said SIX!) flavors of decadent delicious cake from "I Do" Cakes. I loved the individual potted palm tree favors too, which had special meaning to the couple.

In addition to our help with planning and day-of coordination we provided menu cards, napkins, table numbers and chair covers. We spent two days this weekend working with a fabulous couple and a great group of vendors. I had so much fun working with you all!

Heather and Rob, thank you for inviting my team and I to work with you on planning and carrying out your special day! I wish you both many more years of love and happiness together. Now that the planning is over, enjoy your much needed honeymoon in Antigua!

Daily Inspirations :: Baby's Breath

Baby's breath is a love it or hate it type of flower. If used wrong, it could scream 1984 in a bad way. But if you use it creatively and in large amounts, it can create a visually stunning effect. It's popularity is coming back around these days, and here's why: here are a few examples of event designs I love using baby's breath....

Daily Inspirations :: Yellow + Gray

Lately I've been seeing a lot of yellow. I have several weddings coming up that are using yellow in their color scheme. It seems to be pretty dominant this year and next, so all my "daily inspirations" lately have been from looking at pretty yellow things!

Congratulations Larissa & Richard

Larissa and Richard are an adorable young couple who tied the knot this weekend in Port Clinton at the beautiful Mon Ami Winery. Their ceremony was held in the wine cellar and the reception took place in the loft upstairs.

Larissa and Richard have a very interesting story! Dave from DNA Entertainment did a "Love Story" about how Larissa and Richard met; Larissa was here on an exchange program when she met Richard. They fell in love, but she had to return to Rio when her exchange was up. Richard missed her terribly and went to Brazil, proposed, and they maintained a long distance relationship until Larissa finally moved to the states this year.

Larissa's family came from Brazil to celebrate with them, and her father (a highly acclaimed musician in Brazil) actually played the processional music on his flute for the ceremony. Each table at the reception was named after a location in Brazil, and we included a photo and description of each place on the table. The favors (brought from Brazil by the family) were candies called "Bem Casado" and sandals called "Havaianas" for each person. All of the guests kicked off their shoes, put on the Havaianas, and danced to American and Brazilian music all night.

Richard surprised us all as he was introduced into the reception with his new wife....wearing a top hat, white gloves, and sporting a cane! It was priceless! The reception was decorated in gold and white, with small accents of yellow and green (Brazilian colors). We created gold rimmed menu cards for each place setting, table names with photos and descriptions, and wine cork escort cards to set up at the entry way.

I know this couple has many happy days ahead, and I feel so lucky that I got to be a part of their first day as husband and wife! Felicitações e cumprimentos!
