Congratulations Topher and Rachael

This Reception was special to us, as we’ve known the bride personally for the past year, so it was an honor to be a part of her wedding day.  The colors for the wedding were ivory, dark red, blush and gold, and they all came together perfectly.  The tables had ivory floor-length table cloths with overlays of beige lace and were surrounded by gold Chiavari chairs.  Each place setting had a gold charger and ivory napkin with a gold napkin ring.  The centerpieces alternated between three styles: a tall, gold candelabra with ivory candles; a tall vase filled with pearls and topped with ivory hydrangeas and red roses; and lower arrangements of ivory hydrangeas and red roses.  To add a beautiful glow to the reception, we had amber Uplights placed around the room. 

The cakes were perfect for this country-themed wedding.  Rachel’s cake had three white stacked tiers, all with natural style  

frosting. The tiers were accented with dark red roses, which also made up the topper. Topher’s chocolate cake was a nod to his love for hunting, as it was decorated to look like a duck pond.  Both cakes were on gold pedestals.

There were some great details at this wedding to tie in with the theme.  There were koozies at the bar with the state of Texas on them.  The sign-in book was actually two painted boards, one with the state of Texas on it and the other with the couple’s last name.  The guests signed them in gold and silver markers and later the Newlyweds will hang then in their home. 

After a night of great food, great drinks, and lots of Country dancing, the night came to an end when the Newlyweds ran through a shower of rose petals and headed off in a horse-drawn carriage.  Congratulations Topher and Rachael!
