Some Inspiration From 2012

sheri — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:19:10 +0000

Add pops of color wherever you can

Cakes

So elegant yet bold with the added color

Super simple with a statement

Spring colors and new beginnings

It is beautiful and looks delicious!

Very feminine and for any season

I love the etched lines that add interest

I just like the simplicity and color

Is all this really edible? Love the “jewels”

Perfect cake for spring or summer!

Candy Tables

I love how they incorporated the season into everything

Each jar has a story – very personalized

Centerpieces

Simple and cute centerpiece with dessert already in arms reach

Love the color and addition to fresh fruit for a spring wedding

For a wow factor, go tall and bold

Add sparkle and charm for a classic feel

The contrast of texture, color, and use of delicate flowers creates a memorable scene

Simple, country chic, and memorable

I just love this color – fresh and vibrant for spring

So creative – just flip the wine glasses over and they become candle holders

It’s so simple – and beautiful

Amazing Decorations

Flowers and Lighting can add so much depth

Love Backdrop

What a cool spot to relax!

What a great way to honor and remember your loved ones

Flowers galore!

Simple and elegant in browns

Little pops of blue make it fun and bright

Light and soft equals very feminine

We can’t wait to see what 2013 brings!

California Wedding Venues

sheri — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 16:43:45 +0000

Because of our ever-changing weather in St. Louis our Wedding Venue options are limited to areas with indoor options. In California, which has a temperate climate, beaches, mountains, and vineyards, couples are able to choose venues we only dream of.

Catalina Island – Right off the coast of Southern California, Catalina Island is a spot many people use as weekend getaways. For weddings, it offers country clubs, beaches, a casino, and an entire Lodge with a spectacular view.

South Coast Winery and Resort – Temecula, California is known as one of people’s favorite wineries, it has the fun and easy feel of our own wineries here in Missouri. If you want to get married in a lush mountain setting surrounded by vineyards, a spa, your own personalized wedding wine label, and options for an entire weekend getaway, this is perfect for you!

Carmel and the Redwoods – If you want that country wedding with some memorable scenery, imagine being nestled beneath ancient and towering Redwood Trees while you say your “I Do’s.”

Pismo Beach – If you dream of a ceremony where your toes are dug in the sand, Pismo Beach is the top area for central coast weddings. Because of its clam digging history and natural lush setting, this beach has a lot to offer. After your wedding, there are hotels and resorts just steps away.

Talega Golf Club – One of the most popular Country Club/Wedding Destinations in Orange County, California. This venue will transform you and your guests to another world with its Spanish colonial style banquet center and terraces.

From the mountains to the ocean, California has a lot to boast about when it comes to Wedding Venue options!

Working with your Venue when Decorating

sheri — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:29:11 +0000

Once you have picked your St. Louis Reception Venue you can begin brainstorming your ideas for decorating your room. Every venue is unique and when you find the one that speaks to you and fits all your guidelines you can now get a feel for what the room will need to become yours. Work with the room – if the room boasts large windows use them and the seasonal foliage to enhance your colors.

Adding lighting effects to a dark room can really make your decor memorable.

Using bold and deep colors can make a large open room feel cozy and warm.

When you have lots of room to use lots of ideas, a sweets and dessert table can be an added delight.

Just remember when choosing your St. Louis Wedding Hall, the room alone can be what people remember!
