Congratulations Alexis & Brian!

Alexis lives the typical life of a consultant. On travel Monday-Friday in some other part of the country. Although they only hired me for the reception, they were one of the easiest people to work with during the planning process.

Reception Site: International Country Club, Fairfax, VA
Floral Design: Petals Edge
Photographers: Bill & Marie Piacesi. My first time working with this husband & wife team and I can't wait to do it again!
DJ: Kirk Rubley
Cake: Cakes by Carolyn. I think Carolyn is the exclusive baker for several of the local country clubs. She really does do beautiful cakes. She also did this cake last year.

The escort cards looked very classy on the grand piano.

Beautiful and tasty cake by Cakes by Carolyn.

Alexis and Brian got all many of their family members to contribute wedding pictures. There were so precious black & whites. The floral centerpiece here is by Petals Edge.

I set up some luminaries along the driveway for Alexis and Brian's exit. Very cool. They come with a plastic insert, which you fill with water to weigh down the bag. Also in the plastic insert is a niche carved out for a tealight candle.

The ladies at Petals Edge did two different types of centerpieces.

eaTip #1: As you saw above, we put the escort cards on the piano in the lounge area. If your venue has existing furniture (a credenza, dressers, tables) that you can use for your escort card, gift and/or cake table, why not make use of it! It will save you money from having to rent additional tables and linens.

eaTip #2: If you are doing luminaries like the ones Alexis used, be sure to weigh the bags down so as not to cause any fire hazards. You can use sand. The ones Alexis used come with a plastic container that can be filled wither water.
