on this past saturday afternoon, i helped these two love birds, sarah & matthew, with setting up their reception at st. clarence pavilion.
the pavillion is rather awesome since all of the walls are windows that let in some great natural light. thank goodness it was a nice sunshine-y day! i loved the strung lights too.
facing the back was the kitchen and bar and restrooms. sarah rented pipe and drapes to give ahern catering a space to work.
the buffet was set up in the center where dancing would take place post meal.
the 14 person bridal party was set at a u-shaped head table in the center of the room. i was rather proud of my hand-draping of unfinished satin that was left over from the runners. it turned out quite well for being semi-makeshift.
while sarah did all of the floral centerpieces herself, hosanna designs did the bouquets and bouts.
sarah put together these branch + orchid + hanging lantern tall centerpieces. they were really classy looking with the gold easel table numbers.
the other half of centerpieces were hydrangeas and roses, again arranged by sarah.
a little blue food coloring in water + votives close to the square vases made for a lovely reflection.
sarah also designed menus that tucked in each napkin, along with photobooth photo sleeves (behind the menu) that were the favors.
guests found their place via the large seating chart. also shown is the lazy susan=style photo card box at the gift table.
byrequest musicservices was the dj for the night and also assisted the bride and groom with playing a slide show of photos.
cupcakes were made by the bride’s friends and family. guests could choose from chocolate with white frosting, white with white frosting (and blue flowers) or pumpkin with cream cheese frosting!
for favors, sarah and matt hired shutterbooth photo booth services. i finally got to meet brian legree when he set it up after many online conversations about past and potential clients of ours.
guests took photos and pasted them in scrapbooks literally as soon as they were walking in the door to the reception!
here’s me with the new mr. & mrs.! congrats you two — great job planning! i loved setting up all of your little touches. have the BEST time in hawaii. can’t wait to see your trash the dress shoot in kauai!
