Behind-the-scenes details from Heather at {Outstanding Occasions}…”This wedding design was inspired by the paisley invite by Celebrations in Paper. The coral, beige and black was a new, fun color scheme for us to work with. The programs (and many other items, including the menus, table numbers and place cards) were designed by The Invitation Lady. We found a paisley fabric to match the invite (almost perfectly:) and incorporated it into many items. We provided the florist, A Wedding Occasion, with the fabric and they covered the vases of the beautiful centerpieces to incorporate the paisley design into the tables.We put the sparklers that we used at the end of the fab wedding for a send-off in a plastic tub filled with sand and covered the tub with the paisley fabric and tied the “Celebrate” tags, made by For Your Party onto the sparklers. The “Enjoy” napkin rings were also ordered from For Your Party. We again incorporated the fabric onto the place card board. And I could not help but include a photo of the oh-so-stylish Manolo Blahnik shoes of the bride:) Love them!”

Boutonnières: I made all of the bouts for the groom and the groomsmen. They are made from fabric. For the groom and his brother we included a ribbon that had the initials of their dad, who had passed in prior years; Hankies: The bride gave both of her sisters (bridesmaids) hankies that had the wedding date and their initials embroidered on them in the coral color of the wedding; The Dress: The bride wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier dress from Destiny’s Bride. She looked flawless!; Flowers: A Wedding Occasion designed the beautiful floral arrangements of hydrangea, ranunculus, and tulips. Kristen did an amazing job!; Venue: The Country Club at DC Ranch was such a beautiful location. Sharon and her entire staff are great to work with and are just fabulous!; Favors: We stamped the donut bags with “Enjoy” and the paisley design and then had a custom stamp made with the couple’s names and wedding date on it and stamped the coffee cups. Everyone loved taking home donuts and coffee after they partied and danced the night away; Band: EastonAshe rocked the party! Everyone loved them and said it was the best wedding band they had heard; Food: We had stations such as Teppanaki, Pasta, Salad and Carving. The guests really enjoyed the atmosphere of being able to try different things at each station; Cake: The bride wanted to do cupcakes, so we kept with the color scheme and the pastry chef made cupcakes with white icing and a white chocolate top with the couple’s initials in milk chocolate; Final Goodbye: I had custom hang tags made for the rear view mirror of each guest by For Your Party that said “Thanks for celebrating with us.” and then had the couple’s names and the wedding date.

Fabulous details, Heather!  Thank you for inspiring us!

    Gorgeous! I just love the coral color (I think too many people are afraid of such a bold color, but it really makes a statement!). And, the back of the bride’s dress is simply stunning!

    Those shoes with the feathers are beyond fabulous.
