This was such a gorgeous Reception!
The theme for the wedding was Winter
Wonderland, and with the colors of navy, silver and white, it was all carried
out absolutely beautifully.
To start
with, there was pipe and drape with silver satin drapes along the walls of the
room.
Blue Uplights highlighted the
drapes and gave the whole room a blue wintery glow.
To top that off, two GOBOs with snowflake
designs shined on the ceiling of the ballroom.
The tables had navy crinkle satin floor length linens and
were surrounded by clear acrylic Chiavari chairs with white seat pads. The centerpieces alternated between tall lit
acrylic trees and lower clusters of vases.
The vases had a variety of accents in and on them: some were wrapped in white lace, some were
filled with artificial snow, some had silver and white Christmas balls in them
and some had floating candles. Each
place setting had a white napkin with a favor sitting on top. The favors consisted of white mugs with the
couples’ initials on them and they were filled with hot chocolate mix. There was also a hot chocolate bar opened up
after dinner, and it featured hot chocolate with a variety of toppings.
Christiana’s cake matched the colors and theme as well. It had five white tiers with navy fondant
ribbons accenting the bottom of each.
Beautiful silver brooches accented the front of each ribbon. The topper was a heart intertwined with a
musical note, which was perfect for this music-loving couple. Speaking of music, these Newlyweds recorded
their First Dance song for us to play: Matthew played the guitar while
Christiana sang. They were good! Matthew’s cake matched his love for football,
as it was decorated to look like a football field with a football sticking out
of the top. He carried the football
theme through the garter toss when he tossed the garter (embroidered with the
words “good catch” on it) wrapped around a football. Christiana’s bouquet matched the wedding and
her cake, as it was made up of white and navy flowers with beautiful brooches
accenting it.
This wedding Reception was not only gorgeous, but fun! The guests danced to every song, from the
first to the last. It was an all-out
party! But finally the night came to a
close. The Newlyweds shared a private
last dance before running through lines of guests waving ribbon wands with
jingle bells on them. Congratulations
Matthew and Christiana!

This wedding was held in a great location: The Lone Star
Flight Museum in Galveston. Talk about
having a unique wedding day! The vintage
planes were moved out to the perimeter
of the room and we had amber and white Uplights highlighting them. All the festivities were held in the middle
of the room amid the planes. The
Ceremony had an Uplit plane serving as the altar backdrop and it was so
dramatic!
