Talina & J March 29, 2008

This busy couple came to me to plan their wedding and reception with plans on having it at their home but they had no idea how to pull it off. With only a few months to plan we dove in and pulled it all together.

Talina was a great bride allowing me to be creative and design her day without constraint. She shared with me her desire to have a private ceremony and a larger reception for the rest of the guests.

Their backyard was the perfect backdrop! The home has many mature oak trees that made a great canopy for hanging paper lanterns. There is a tree house that gave the DJ a Birdseye view of the party.

But the DJ was not the only music. We had our fabulous guitar duo play during the cocktail hour and then we moved in to dancing with the Oh So Good band.

The food was delicious as always! We placed the food stations strategically around the lawn that kept the guests mingling around.

Lounge furniture with bright pillows matched the overall look the bride was going for.
Weddings at a home are not always easy to pull off as you do not have many of the built in amenities but with the proper planning it can be a more intimate and memorable day. I think we achieved a perfect day from beginning to end.
