Congratulations David and Madison

This was the third wedding reception we’ve done with this family and we’ve had a great time with all of them!  The colors of this wedding were cranberry and grey: perfect for December.  The bridal party wore cranberry-colored long dresses while the groomsmen wore grey suits with cranberry ties.  The flowers were gorgeous: shades of ivory and dark red, with red seasonal berries.  The head table had greenery running the length of it, accented with pinecones and red berries.  The guest tables matched, with ivory floor-length satin cloths.  The centerpieces were vases filled with cranberries and floating candles, sitting on a slice of wood.  There were holly and ivy winter accents around the room to complete the look.

When the guests arrived, they signed nontraditional guestbooks: two custom, wood cornhole boards.   For favors, each place setting had a hot chocolate mix, with the words, “Let love keep you warm.”  So cute!  The 2-tiered cake was sitting on a wood stand and had greenery and red berries accenting the tiers.  The   To make it even better, there was a table with mini bundt cakes in assorted flavors.  Everyone loves those!  The cool thing about the cake is that it was suspended from the ceiling!

To kick off the dancing, this couple started with The Grand March.  Except for four people, everyone in the room joined in.  It lasted 12 minutes and was followed by the couple’s first dance.  When the dancing kicked off, it was non-stop fun from beginning to end.  There was even a spontaneous Conga Line.  When the Aggie War Hymn was played, the Aggies packed the dance floor.  These families know how to have a great time!  When the night came to an end, the newlyweds said farewell to their guests before heading off.  Congratulations David and Madison!

Congratulations Bob and Melissa

This wedding ceremony and reception took place at one of our favorite venues: the historic Hotel Galvez.  The ceremony took place on the front lawn of the hotel, with the ocean in the background.  With the wedding colors of greenery and neutrals, the outdoor location was perfect.  To match the wedding colors, the bridal party wore emerald green dresses and Melissa and her bridal party carried bouquets of ivory flowers.  Bob and his groomsmen were handsome in their black tuxes and ivory boutonnieres.

When the guests entered the reception, they signed Jenga blocks in lieu of a guest book.  There were lip balm favors, with Melissa and Bob’s names on them and “Our love is the balm!”  The guests were also given bags of love knots, which were chocolate covered pretzels.  The semi-naked wedding cake had two stacked tiers, with a figurine of a couple on top.  The flavor was funfetti – fun!  Bob’s chocolate groom’s cake had white frosting with an orange and blue Astros emblem on top.

To give the ballroom a beautiful glow, we had 10 uplights shining up the pillars.  That allowed us to turn down the house lights and set the perfect atmosphere for dancing.  When it came to dancing, this crowd was a bit slow at the beginning, but boy did that change!  They were having all kinds of fun during the last hour!  To make things more fun, we had our photo booth and they took lots of great pictures in it.

For a special treat, Bob and Melissa had a late night snack for the guests.  The mini corn dog bites and grilled cheese sandwiches were a hit!  When the night came to an end after the last dance, the newlyweds stayed and said farewell to their guests before heading out.  Congratulations Bob and Melissa!

Fun at a Company Holiday Party

We had a great time at a holiday party for SAIC.  Once dinner was over, we played the Hot Potato game.  Players were in a circle on the dance floor, passing a stuffed Santa Claus around.  When the music stopped, you were out if you were holding Santa.  The lucky winner got a small trophy they can proudly put on their desk and brag about their win.  The game was so funny!  When it was time to dance, our dance floor lighting package set the mood.  This crowd danced to all kinds of music and had a blast.  I hope we get to work with them next year!
