RaeAnn and Rodney

I have been blessed with some really awesome clients this last summer and RaeAnn, Rodney, and RaeAnn's mom Betty are definitely some of them! I loved the colors. Hot pink and a dark silvery gray. RaeAnn chose the Bayshore as her venue which worked out perfectly for the decorating that we wanted to do. We draped velon (a white plastic material that looks just like fabric when it is hung) to brighten it up in the room. We also hung paper lanterns in two different shades of pink. The rose balls that were hung in each window were sooooo gorgeous. They looked like they were not real, they were so perfect. Thank you Tandy for helping with the flowers! The dancefloor had silver and pink firework type beaded balls above it which looked great when the lights were on the dancefloor later that night. In the windows we hung more pink beads that matched the colors. I found the beaded curtains on http://www.shopwildthings.com/ (fun, cool stuff on that site).

Another great find was the table coverings. They are a pewter silver pintuck linen. Floor length. They looked fantastic with the white chivari chairs and square glass charger plates from valley rental center. To finish off the look we folded the white napkins underneath the charger plates so that they hung off the side of the table. As a centerpiece we did glass square vases with pink peonies and roses in different heights.

For the ceremony we set up a tent and covered the poles with white linen and attached an arrangement of roses, peonies, and seeded eucalyptus. Down the aisle we set up hooks where we hung flowerballs made of pink carnations. My favorite part of the ceremony decor was the way we put the petals on the aisle. I loved the swirly line of pink and it made the white petals that the flower girls tossed stand out even more. The bouquets and corsages were made by Blushing Blooms and added just the right touch to the wedding party.

I was so happy with the way the decor turned out and how well everything went together even the balloons that we had Valley rental center bring matched perfectly! I couldn't have pulled this set up off without the help of my incredible staff- Tandy, May, and my sweet hubby Chris.

Kaleb Baker from Chefstop made the amazing appetizers and dinner. The service and taste was fantastic. My personal fav were the crab stuffed mushrooms, Yummy!!

These detail shots were taken by my twin sister Marie VanWingerden who is a pretty sought after second shooter. She was actually at another wedding that day and took the time to come and take some detail shots for me and my blog. I love you Marie!

By the way, it was raining and blowing so hard on this day. Amazingly the rain and wind completely stopped just before the ceremony began and as the wedding party ended the recessional, it started to sprinkle again. Perfect timing!!!

John from ONDAGO mobile entertainment provided the cool gobo light (along with the great music) with Rodney and RaeAnn's names. Super way to dress up a dancefloor...besides the bride! :)
Thanks so much RaeAnn and Rodney for letting me be a part of your very special day!
