An airy and earthy wedding: Hilton Garden Inn & Palais Royale

Fourth of July weekend was spent working on the wedding of Rob and Brianna. The Ceremony was held at Hilton Garden Inn and the reception followed at the Palais Royale. The alter was flanked with a honeysuckle vine adorned with yellow orchids. Two arrangements were on each side of the alter with curly willow and orchids. 

 Different size cylinders flanked the aisle with orchids and floating candles inside.

 A view of the aisle prior to the yellow rose petals being placed down the sides of the aisle. We had to place the petals down only moments prior to the guest arriving due to the heat. It was in the 90's for the ceremony!

The Palais Royale, the honeysuckle vine was moved over from the ceremony to the reception and was a nice added touch when it came time for introductions.  

 The cylinders were also used on the window sills after the ceremony at the Palais Royale. 

The cake was highlighted in the center of the dance floor and was a great focal point. for the reception. 

Purple and Green Elegance: Palais Royale

I apologize for the delay in posting these pictures. I was hoping to get the professional pictures from the photographer by now but they haven't finished editing them just yet. I wanted to share some of my favorite shots from the wedding we coordinated in June. The ceremony was at St. Patrick Catholic Church and the reception at Palais Royale.

A view of the church outside. Simple Hydrangea w/ribbon can make a big statement.

A view of the short arrangements at the reception. A little "bling" was added with crystals placed around the centerpieces. Place cards were locations that were close to the couple with a description of why it was important to them. 

A view of the gift and guest book table. A centerpiece of Glad's was a great foundation for all the beautiful gifts that were to be added to the table. 

A display of family photos were placed next to the gift table and gave guests an added source of conversation throughout the night.
