Not Wedding sneak peak

Well! I survived last week and have lived to tell about it! The Not Wedding was an incredible event with lots of great vendors showcasing their talents. There were four environments created by four different floral designers. Each floral designer was paired with a caterer, a stationery company and a pastry/cake baker. My partners were Talk of the Town catering, Mirabel Press and Tasty Pastry.

Our environment was Vintage Chic. Here's the first of many photos taken by yours truly. The better, professional shots will come soon.

Linens were platinum crinkle taffeta. A silver beaded charger and glass plate, paired with my mom's american fostoria dessert cup and plate, along with fostoria coffee cup/saucer completed the place setting. Glassware included vintage saucer style champagne glasses, fostoria water glasses and an Ed Hardy glass to add a bit of rock n' roll! (You'll understand this element as you see more of the environment!)

Favors doubled as place cards in the form of vintage, wall-mounted bottleopeners hung with tulle from vintage-brand soda bottles. (The bottleopeners just happen to be my husband's business - www.bottleopener.com). Perfect for groomsmen gifts, wedding favors, welcome basket items, etc.

Here's a beautiful vintage flower vase inherited from my grandmother--in-law. Filled with sweet baby pink ranunculus.

Authentic vintage candy jar filled with marshmallows with a handmade hypericum berry flower accent. This handmade flower was a design element used repeatedly throughout the environment. This one has a pink marshmallow center!

The sign-in table. Guests enter and sign in on the vintage typewriter (that actually works!). Hopefully the guests will be creative and clever making the guestbook a wonderful keepsake.

This is a terrible shot of the wonderful banners that my former client/artist - Lindsay Mahaffey Odell painted for the space. Love Sweet Love. That was an underlying theme of the space as well. My bride and groom (Betsy and David) were so adorable and they had awesome blue eyes.

That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!
