What fun this wedding was to design! The bride, Dee Wingo, told me she liked bling, feathers and Old Hollywood…and left the rest up to me. Dee’s bouquet consisted of white mini callas with white feathers, and each bloom had a “diamond” added to the center. Love the bling! The wedding and reception were held at The Standard in downtown Nashville, a wonderful old home that has a ballroom attached. The wedding ceremony was held in the ballroom in front of the old mantle, the guests were then treated to a fabulous seated dinner inside the house. While the guests were enjoying their meal, the staff of The Standard and my crew went to work to turn the ballroom into a “winter” Old Hollywood look with white ostrich feathers as centerpieces and added to the mantle, battery operated lamps and many candles. Yes, we added “snow” to each table…well, OK, maybe Hollywood doesn’t have snow…but this is Nashville, and it was a cold night! These photos show the mantle as it was for the ceremony, with fresh garland, white roses, white dendrobium orchid stems, gold ornaments. The trees on each side of the mantle belong to The Standard, so we added white roses to them as well. The other photos show the room all dressed up for the reception waiting for the party to begin. Marino Music provided the live music and guests truly enjoyed themselves (we came to break down a little early and peaked in the ballroom..PAR-TAY would be an understatement!) See you at the bridal show this Saturday…come by our booth and give us a shout!
