On the day of the wedding the bride called me several times asking if it were raining. I have to admit I lied. I told her there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The truth was I was really frantically pulling the linens off of the tables because huge drops of rain had begun to fall. I knew it would pass and I did not want her to worry about the behind the scene details. She just needed to get beautiful and show up. Leaving the worrying to us!The guests arrived to a passed beverage and allowed to mingle while taking photographs for the couples guest book.
When it came time for the ceremony the guests were led into the chapel. The bride looked stunning as she waited outside to go dow
n the aisle. 
Her bouquet was all white and her bridesmaids who wore green satin gowns had bouquets in plums and purple.
n the aisle. 
Her bouquet was all white and her bridesmaids who wore green satin gowns had bouquets in plums and purple. The contrast was really beautiful. 
Following the ceremony the guests were led to the river garden where they were greeted by a mariachi trio who serenaded them for cocktails and dinner. The bride and groom joined their guests for cocktails and then they all moved over to the dinner area.
The
y were served salads at their places and then allowed to have access to several food stations placed around the garden. The menu was a perfect mix of traditional wedding flavors and few unexpected items such as hand patted gorditas made on the spot. 
When it came time for cake, the Trio led the couple along with their guests back into the chapel that had been transformed by our staff. We had the walls dramatically up lit. The cake was placed in the center of the room. 
There were intimate conversation areas along with plenty of room to get out and dance. The DJ turned up the music and the dancing began. The guests had a great time mingling both inside and out while dancing in between.
We designed the event to flow from one space to another and the colors to flow each transition. Bronze taffeta linens draped the cocktail tables for the pre-ceremony cocktails and the cocktail hour following the ceremony. The dinner tables were covered in Olive green taffeta linens. The floral throughout was a mixture of purples and plums. When we moved the guests back inside the chapel we had taken the color scheme a bit darker but still in keeping with the rest of the look of the event. We had deep plum linens covering all of the tables and some of them we added a sheer green/blue/plum overlay. We wanted the feeling that they had entered an upscale lounge.
