The Finishing Touch — Weddings, Events, Design, Paperie

This past Spring we planned and coordinated a wedding for our couple, Rebecca and John.  In addition to the planning, our Event Design division designed the event's decor and stationery to reflect the couple's "Match Made in Heaven" theme.

Rebecca loves the color blue and has always loved anything with a cloud pattern.  They also met through a Young Adult group at their church so a Heaven theme was perfect for them.

 

The wedding was held on May 18th with the ceremony at Our Lady of Mount Virgin Church in Garfield, NJ and the reception at The Knoll Country Club – East in Parsippany, NJ.

The Knoll Country Club did a fantastic job and accommodated all of the couple's unique requests including serving blue champagne at the cocktail hour and at the tables for the toast!  The couple also had a special blue cocktail called the "Blisstini" which had a custom feather trimmed coaster.

For the guest book, Rebecca and John used a photo booth from Party Booths.  Guests took pictures in the booth with props like feather boas and sunglasses.  The pictures were then pasted into the guest book and guests wrote messages to the couple.

The table centerpieces from Santos Florist were blue and white hydrangea with crystal accents that  were lit up from the bottom to represent clouds floating in a blue sky. 

Custom crystal branch centerpieces from our Event Design division were also lit up from the bottom and placed on either side of the sweetheart table. 

Each table was named for the theme – Blue Sky, Heaven, Angel, etc.

The tables had Kate Aspen "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue" favors on them.  To personalize these, the "Something Old" box contained an old photo of them, "Something New" box contained wildflower seeds to grow something new, "Something Borrowed" box contained a lucky penny, and the "Something Blue" box contained a blue notepad that had "Thank You, Love Rebecca & John" written on it.  Each box contained a poem that explained what was in each box.

The Parisienne (dessert) table was held in the tent, which was illuminated in blue.  They had a signature coffee cocktail called the "Capodicino" as a play on the couple's last name which was sugar rimmed, set on fire, and topped with a dollop with fresh whipped cream.

At the end of the evening, guests were treated to a Candy Bar aptly named "Sugar Heaven" complete with blue cotton candy. 

The takeaway favors were Sun Catcher/Car Air Fresheners that matched the wedding perfectly, they had a cloud on them with all blue and white crystals hanging down.  The tags on the favors read "Safe and Happy Travels."

It was definitely a "heavenly" event.

All the best,

Priscilla and Leah
