Sokol Hall Wedding

We had a really fun wedding we did a couple of weeks ago at the CSPS Sokol Hall in St. Paul.  It is an old historical hall that has tons of character!  As you'll see in some of the photos, there was a large stage with paintings of Czechoslovakian settings in the background.  The head table was up on the stage and we tried to add a garden-y feel with lots of garlands of greens and white flowers scattered throughout.  Very natural and beautiful!  It was so much fun planning and setting up this one!  Anna was a joy to work with!

The bridal bouquet was natural and textured with pretty white dahlias and scabiosa, hydrangea, sweet peas, queen anne's lace, and viburnum.  The wrap was ivory satin covered in ivory lace with pins going down the back.  We used river rock in the vases to make it more of a natural feel.

The stage was set with the head table and we used lanterns, garlands of ruscus and sprengeri with hydrangea, dahlias, waxflower, and roses scattered throughout, and silver mercury glass votives.  The other decor was twinkle lights throughout.

For the long banquet tables, we had garlands of the ruscus and sprengeri mixed with white flowers and lanterns.  Then we added a few tall arrangements and silver candles, as well as some river rock along the tables.

Here is a pic of the tall arrangements...hydrangea, curly willow, snapdragons and larkspur in pilsner vases with river rock.

Here is a look at most of the room.

Another great feature about the room were window ledges where we put the bride's family photos, some lanterns, candles and bottles with some flowers.

Also, as you entered the hall, there was a long staircase.  We added garlands with some wax flower along the railings.

Here are just a few more shots of closeups of some of the flowers we used.
