Riverbed Chapel and Renaissance Hotel
May 10, 2008
AVANT GARDE! When creative minds get together what a wild ride. This wedding was tremendously fun to plan because the creative juices started flowing and never stopped. From feathers, crystals, sushi, trees, moss, and beyond!
Chris and Angela were married on May 10, 2008 at the Riverbend Chapel. The color scheme was white, black, aqua blue and bling. Angela custom designed her monogram that was used throughout the décor. She had her monogram custom designed on the aisle runner which set the trend for the day.
Upon arrival to the Renaissance, guests entered the atrium and were welcomed with a piano cocktail hour and passed appetizers. The atrium was dressed in candlelight and crisp white satin linen throughout. In an effort to achieve the AW Factor, the doors to the grand ballroom opened at once to the bride and groom's vision. The room was surrounded with beautiful varying height centerpieces as tall as 5 ½ feet. The centerpieces were adorned with aqua, black and clear crystals hanging from the trees, along with orchids and white calla lilies. Did I mention the black ostrich feathers that crowned the top?
The room was illuminated in a soft hue of aqua throughout the space. The martini louge was in the shape of the custom designed monogram and the cake had crystals adorned all over it. Guests enjoyed the flexible food stations, including sushi, an action pasta station and her guilty pleasure -a baked potato station with all the toppings.
Chris and Angela danced the night away with a live band and dj --- what a night. The couple departed in a sea of sparkles surrounded by all of their guests. Thank you Angela and Chris for including Soirée in your day!
