We had a RECEPTION to put on!
These things needed to be transformed. . .
With a flash of brilliance, I asked some friends to help me out because so many things about this reception are not in my skill set. But I do know how to delegate!
The day before we set to work. All the food was purchased, the punch bowl (okay, it was a fountain) was rented, so it was on to the set up. The cultural hall was emptied. . .
We cleaned up all the spills. . .
dealt with the disgusting bacon that was forgotten in the oven and had stunk up the entire building) . . .
so it was time for some magic!
Tables and tablecloths are the foundation. . .
removing the bacon helped too!
all the little touches were meaningful. . .
We had prep to do at home too. Family came and helped with the fruit-kabobs.
The bride and groom made the root beer!
The bride needed a fancy do (that her mom is not capable of do-ing) so off we went to a good friend (who does know how to do).
I returned to a transformation!
The arch was built for this occasion.
The tables were set beautifully and it just awaited the food and the people!
What a spread!
root beer fountain. ..
the cake (they wanted cheesecake, but you have to cut something, right?)
The candy buffet. .. what a challenge to find sweets in their wedding colors! A friend loaned all the jars, another friend decorated all the bags. . .
Ready? Let the festivities begin. . .
They greeted and posed. ..
They even ate. . .
With cameras and video cameras documenting it, they enjoyed their cake. . .
Jennifer threw her bouquet once again (Allie couldn’t come so she couldn’t catch it again)
So much in a little over one week’s time!
It was a wonderful, PACKED time, but it could not have happened without so much support from family and friends. These two have a bright future in front of them. .. may they always remember how loved they are!
