Orange & Silver Wedding Decor by Blush Weddings

|Taryn & Michael’s Wedding Day | 16th March 2013|
| Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club|

 

It just goes to prove that our last blog about weather proofing your Wedding Day worked. The Friday before Taryn & Michael’s big day was wet, miserable and freezing. And of course, this lovely couple opted for their ceremony to be outside under the old oak tree. By lunch time on Saturday, the weather still wasn’t great. The sun was shining. Sort of.

 

 

While us Blush Babes were busy setting up in the St. Georges Room, the duty manager asked us when the decision needed to made about whether they should set up for the ceremony to be on the patio on indoors. How sad! Luckily the sun came out, the wind died down a little more and the wonderful ceremony was held outside.

 

 

On the Wednesday prior, Taryn brought all the goodies to Blush Weddings that needed to be setup up for their reception. And amongst it all were 40 stunning white golf umbrellas. Taryn, I’m telling you now, if you didn’t have those, it would have rained and poured!

The one manager Candice (who just happens to be my oldest friend in the world who I love dearly and totally bent over backwards) rang me up on the Friday before stating that the draping for that night will be left up for Taryn & Michael’s Wedding the next day. The only problem was, IT WAS BLACK (not white) eeek! The Groom, Michael, his mom and the Mother of the Bride, Glenda all saw the black draping and loved it. The bride, Taryn, wasn’t happy about it at all… But in the end, once the whole room was decorated, it looked absolutely amazing. I think that if the room was draped in white, the exquisite table décor wouldn’t have popped like it did.

 

 

Taryn & Michael had simple yet class taste. They came to Blush Weddings in July 2012 with their vision and wedding day dream. Their colour scheme was orange & silver. So we put together a table décor mock-up for them here at our boutique and love it. The final table décor mock-up was done at the venue as we always do. They were blown away! On the tables we used a 50cm round mirror with four round votives that were filled with water and a floating candle in each set around the mirror. In the centre was a large round glass vase with white stones in the bottom and filled with Tropical Amazon (orange) roses. Once the sun went down and the candles were lit, the room came alive with light, love and colour!

Their photographer also setup a photo booth in the foyer with goodies and props and super fun backdrop. Here you will find pictures of the “Blush Babes” having a little fun with their photo booth once all the guest sat down for the wedding breakfast (It was dinner but here is the definition of Wedding Breakfast:  It is called this because it is the first meal together as husband and wife – how sweet is that).

This was the first wedding setup for our new assistant, Leanne who went out of her way for us, the couple and the wedding as a whole. She’s only been working for us for a month now and she really worked very hard. Well done Leanne – you truly did an outstanding job. Thank you for all your hard work, dedication, putting in late hours where needed and enthusiasm – Well done!
