I planned a wedding last year (my first one)! This experience was unique in that I only planned the reception/party. Tiffany and Pace got married a few months before at a small private ceremony, but 8.18.18 was the big celebration! Highlights from the beautiful wedding reception are below. All photos are by Rachel at Bonphotage Photography.
Venue: I helped the bride find the perfect venue for her event. Her theme was “Starry Nights,” so I knew a venue with an open-air feel wound be best. La Pergola at Galleria Marchetti was the perfect spot. The venue is outdoor with a retractable roof, so if it did rain we were ready. We rented furniture and used florals to transform the space into the bride’s vision!
Decor: The bride wanted a DIY approach on florals, so she ordered florals from Blooms by the Box and we arranged them into vases on site. The flowers were beautiful and really enhanced the space. We ordered soft vignette seating in beautiful blue and white hues from Inhabitr. In addition, MDM Entertainment did a great job adding a bit of twinkle and shine by stringing hundreds of lights on the ceiling and walls. This created the perfect backdrop as we transitioned from day to night. They also provided A/V services and Karaoke for the late night revelers!
Desserts: Beautiful astronomy themed cake from Amy Beck Cake Design.
Farewell: Guests ended the night with a beautiful sparkler send-off. Can’t believe I planned my first wedding. It was a lot of work, but worth it to see how much the bride/groom and guests enjoyed the event.
