St. Paul University Club Wedding

Working with Katy and Jimmy was such a treat!!  They came in with enthusiasm and excitement about their wedding and all the little touches and details associated with it.  Their wedding was my biggest to date and it was really a lot of fun to "tackle"!  I think I can best describe the theme as "classy elegance".  We did everything in whites and touches of a couple of different shades of light pink.  

The reception was held at the St. Paul University Club Hotel and it was truly a beautiful site!  The architecture and feel of the room really stood out to me.

I can't wait to see the professional photos, but for now I have some photos (of just the reception flowers) I took to share with you.

Here are a couple of views of the reception room, with just some of our arrangements, etc.  

We did three different arrangements for the room  - a tall pillsner vase with a fluffy white and pink top, a set of three cylinder vases with white dendrobium orchids and floating candles, and a square low arrangement of the same types of flowers used in the tall arrangements.  Check out the pretty venue - the lights, windows, and architecture was super pretty.

Here are some close ups of the submerged flower arrangement.  We added some "bling ribbon" around the base of the cylinders and added some globe votives and floating candles.  She had a thoughtful idea for her table numbers - they asked for people to write down messages for them to open and look at on the wedding anniversary of the number on the table.  They are covered through their 36th anniversary!  

Here are a couple views of the short square arrangement.  They had some light pink ribbon underneath the bling ribbon to pull out some of the pinks in the arrangements of white hydrangea, football mums, and three different shades of pink spray roses...as well as a mirror and square votives.

For the tall arrangements, we used a lot of white hydrangea, white football mums, some white stock, and then a couple of shades of pink roses and spray roses.   We had bling ribbon around the top of the vase, some hanging crystal garland in water in the vase (which lit up beautifully with the candlelight) and then we added regular and silver mercury glass votives around the base.  They reminded me of big fluffy ice cream cones.

They had a big "harvest" table, where the wedding party and some of the main family had tables together, where they were facing each other.  We put some bud vases with dendrobium orchids to surround the bridal bouquet, which would be placed there later, as well as all the other girls' bouquets.  We added lots of votives and some of the square designs and cylinder vase designs along the table.

This was the cupcake table.  We added a little bud vase with bling around the middle and then one of the big arrangements on the side and we sprinkled a few pink and white petals around the table.  I wish I had a photo of the different cupcakes!  They looked great!  I will hopefully get some photos of all the fun little touches later on.

They had a huge place card area.  We decided to add some floating candles with clear stones and bling ribbon around the base to the back of the table.  We also sprinkled a few rose petals and added some bud vases with dendrobium orchids.

They had an awesome candy table too with little chinese take-out boxes in pink for people to make little gift bags.

And the one last little touch I have is the gift table.  She had a really pretty box for cards and we added one of the square arrangements to this table.

Thanks again Jimmy and Katy for letting me be a part of such a warm, fun celebration!
