I have to say… I am finally recovered from the amazing wedding we were so blessed to be a part of this past weekend!! It was at the Schuster Center in Dayton, and it was just beautiful. What a neat place. I cannot wait to see the professional pictures, but for your viewing pleasure we have a couple that my associate took for me. Thanks Kirstyn!! This was such an amazing couple/family. I am truly going to miss working with them. We really came up with a unique design for the centerpieces, and then from there, they let me create an assigned seating card display on my own. I really wanted to mimic the shape of the centerpiece, and I think we achieved that. It was a lot of work, as Kirstyn knows placing all the champagne bottles in perfect order… I usually like to have one unique focal point that gives the guests something to remember, and I had so much fun creating this display! I hope you all like it.

After all is said and done, the hours upon hours of planning and hard work the week/day of the wedding, the numerous compliments from guests, family members, and the bride and groom make it ALL worth it!!! I especially love the fact that one of the bridesmaids that is having a wedding in a couple months, wasn’t considering a planner for the day of her wedding, and she said after everything she saw we did, she needs to have one! It is just so hard to put into words everything we do the week of the wedding. She commented how the bride was so relaxed and didn’t worry about a thing, and that is how she wants to be on her wedding day!!! What a great comment!

Enjoy the photos until we get the professional ones!! Have a great weekend, and thanks for visiting!!

This is the escort card table display from a distance.  A lot of work, but what a wow factor when guests went to get their seating assignments!

This is the close up of the escort cards.  Yes, carnations were placed as a backdrop all the way around.  I think it turned out just beautifully!

All our visions really came together!  The natural light from the wall of windows was really spectacular and really showed off the beautiful color palate we chose.
