{Enchanted Mint and Gold . . . Part 2: Champagne & Table Decor}

Back to our Enchanted Mint and Gold Shoot . . .

If you missed Part I you can see it here.

Now on to the next part: 

The Reception Table

(all photos by the amazing Aly from La Luz Photography)

My inspiration for this part of the shoot was the herringbone backdrop that I made (DIY baby!) with glitter gold cardstock and mint green cardstock.  I traced and cut each piece, and hot glued it to my backdrop fabric in the herringbone shape and viola! 

LOVE how it turned out.

(Check out the AMAZING hollywood regency chandeliers from Vintage Ambiance)

Also my lovely model Claudia Lorena is just adorable, right? 

Hair and makeup by my girl Yessie Makeup Artistry!

Other inspiration: gold gold gold! I spray painted the pine cones and plastic fruit pieces gold, love that too!

The menus: I designed these to include the "arrow" theme of the shoot, also a fun whimsical font was important:)

Tip to make your champagne sweet and fun: add rock candy! Also can add some color if desired:)

Each place setting included some textured gold chargers, the lovely vintage plates from Vintage Ambiance, mint green napkins, the arrow through the fruit seating card, and goldware.

OH and the flowers just made the table, thanks to the lovely Nicole from Florarama Modern Design.

The girls enjoying their champagne in their Luly Yang Couture gowns.

There is just something perfect about little simple bud vases :) See!

~Happy New Year!~

This year has FLOWN by so fast! I wish I had time to write a whole 2012 in review, but I don't lol.  

Finished up my last wedding of 2012 last night, it was AMAZING and so very full of love!! Can't wait to share all of the details with you guys.  

One of my main goals for 2013 is to catch up on blogging my weddings, shoots, and stay on top of things.  Now that I have done 22 weddings this year, there is a LOT to catch up on.

2012 was an AMAZING year for SBTN, and I can't wait to see what is in store for my little business in 2013!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

~Wedding Color Schemes: Mint Green~

I have been dreaming of mint chocolate chip ice cream . . .

and every time I think of my childhood favorite ice cream flavor, I think about how adorable the color is.

How fun would it be to style a mint green wedding, and have a midnight snack of mint chocolate chip ice cream cones . . . just saying!

Ok maybe overboard, but that's what us planners dream of you know?

Some mint wedding yummy-ness:
